Any ideas? I will appreciate any help regarding this coin. I really curious about it. I hope someone will be able to tell me something about it. Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone, I would like to ask you for you help again for recognizing one penny from 1862. I spotted that the 2 in the date is looking something strange. I will be glad if any one can advice me about this penny. I'm really new to the British coins so, please excuse if this is a common type penny. Thank you in advance.

Thanks to every one !!! It's very useful information.

Both coins are the same size - one shilling. I didn't notice the Q It looks strange too.

I noticed something different between the coins see the pictures. T in SOIT looks closer to the I and also the letters look bold.

The third picture is my second coin zoomed area between the date

Here is some more pictures of the 2 coins : The first picture is the reverse of the coin above. The second one is the same coin zoomed area between the date.

Hello, I would like to show you some pictures of one shilling 1887 Jubilee Head. Because I new in the British coins and I need your help to identify is this coin a proof or not? The coin have very good mirror like fields on the both sides, but on the obverse is more visible.You can see the reflection of my camera on the coin. I have 2 pcs from this coin but the other one is not looking mirror. But this could be maybe because is a little more dirty. Also on my second one the device between 18 87 is pointing to a rim tooth. I read in Chris Perkins new book that this variety is more scarcer, is there a price difference between this two varieties? I don't know If any one can identify is this coin proof only by the picture, I tried to take the best possible pictures, I hope did well Thank you in advance.

I received the coin in a plastic wallet pocket by mail. I didn't used cotton gloves but I held the coin only by the edge and i put it in this 2x2 holder right away after I opened the letter. I really don't know the brand of my holders but I guess that they are not expensive, I bought them for 10p each. Those rainbow marks are definitely on the coin, because I opened the holder to replace it. First I though that it might be from the holder but I wasn't. It is possible the difference in the temperature to be reason for that? And can I reverse the process? It those rainbow mark reduce the future value of the coin?

I recently bought 1£ -1992 proof oak tree reverse. The coin was in BU condition- perfect coin. I put the coin in one coin hold - the self-adhesive ones. In just one day I notice that some rainbow spots have appeared all over on both side of the coin. I didn't notice them when I received it , so I suppose that I did something wrong to the coin when I put it in the holder. Could someone help me to understand what is wrong with the coin? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm still beginner in this area. Thanks in advance.
