Yes, I’m thinking to cast such a sharp shadow (if it is) that the lighting would have to be really bright, and it doesn’t look to be, when taking the exposure of the coin’s surfaces into account?
-
What’s your thoughts of these seller pictures, shadow or thick? When looking at both sides, it appears the shadow/thickness continues around the entire coin?
-
And another example of better details but in its entirety a lesser coin! EBay an unrealistic £345 for this PM A

Not quite a coin purchase, but nearly!
Can’t believe I sold this book, thinking that’s it, only to buy the same book again around 1 year later!
Absolutely hopeless! Only reprieve is it’s the updated Memorial Edition! Very happy about that!

For want of a better word I’d call it ‘raggy’ by comparison, if you know what I mean?

A really good example of what I mean by balance and even wear in this £350 offering of the same coin from eBay. Even though some of the bust is better, I know which is the better coin by far!

REV is just amazing
Just had another closer look…I can’t see any tooling myself? Where in particular do you mean? At £200 I did buy it with hearts in my eyes, so always easy to miss these things

Yes, it’s just so well balanced, nothing more worn than the other, and enough of a bust (again even wear) for the grade that it makes a really pretty picture for me! Plus, as you say, the beginnings of a nice old tone
-
Only just noticed ‘scallop’ in the title…either too much beer at the time or autocorrect, not sure which, maybe both

Haven’t seen this in-hand, yet, but I’m expecting it to hold up pretty well. Bought from Eric Knowles of all people.

An unbelievably great thing you and your family are undertaking…a huge inspiration to those of us who spend time moaning about our lot in life!

Much MUCH better in-hand, on a huge flan…extremely happy! An absolute bargain at £200 delivered!

What a great double act…absolutely brilliant!

I’ve watched this over and over, shared it over and over…something special about this one, but can’t put my finger on it! It’s sexual, it’s natural, it has equality embedded in it…sounds like I’m a madman, but it has such a fun and healthy ‘feel’ about it! Clearly I can’t describe it, but a great moment…love it!

I realise on strict grading this is at best a ‘fine/good fine’ coin but, overall, I think it a really worthy Shilling, being centrally struck on a decent round flan, and with a good balance of strike and wear to add to its overall eye-appeal!
I bloody love it, and thank James Tout for keeping this one aside for me.

Or not?
You could be waiting a long time for that answer I reckon!

Apparently you just ‘remove [the] surface residue’ and, hey presto, everything’s amazing!
Superb spot @oldcopper

Got a week or two until the govt. gets its backside in gear. We are taking in a 41 year old mother, while her 21 yo daughter is not far away with a family where there is someone of a similar age. They don't speak English or German though, so there might be quite a lot of hovercrafts full of eels
Phenomenal, Rob…HUGE respect 🙏

May as well hang a rarity around your neck if you’re going to! I’ve always had an old E1 sixpence on leather cord around mine…lost 2 along the way though! I often think of the pool attendant in Greece who’ll likely have stumbled across one of them!

Yes, these coins are usually paper thin. A thick coin would not be good.
