UPINSMOKE

Yes same problem here as well but with all coins not just bronze. I have noticed just like you that they look better in hand than in a picture, I am certain this is because when the photo is taken it magnifies many area's that of the dependencies that you do not see with the naked eye. Especially like my 1899 Penny with some darkening to some area's. If the coin is pristine then you don't always get these problems. But then what do I know I am only new to all this. Below another example my 1899 Halfpenny this looks ok in a photo but in hand its looks so much better .

Leo it was given a Grade 80

Yes It is that UNI 29895, is there a problem?

Thank you interesting reading on that thread. I hope it will help me improve when I get my setup right. In the meantime here is another one of my purchases I photographed yesterday so hope it looks ok my 1899 Penny.

I'm sure you would but I'm sorry they are not for sale I'm tucking them away till they are worth face value or I may just go and buy a nice silver coin. I haven't tried one in the washing machine yet have to have a go, Now That's What I Call laundered money

Thanks for your comments . When I get round to it I will post some more pictures so pleased with what I've received I want to get some more . Are the photographs ok what do you think. Still struggling with photographing coins at the moment, have acquired two lamps and still trying to find out what the best position to put them in to get the best photographs. Any tips on this would be of great help, and again thank you so much for your input it's a great help.

I have got a £80 worth in sequential order if you want them for a £100 But not AA I think mine are AD.

Thanks I think I am getting it right now but then again they are slabbed so grading is out of my hands to a point. And I must thank Guy @The Coinery for all his help with these.

Here is the 1951 Penny I got graded at CGS UNC 85

Yes very pleased all my latest are slabbed. I am trying to complete the two years with only slabbed coins. As for the rest I am happy not having slabbed. Its graded at 80 if that helps, as I say very please. I have most of the 1951 set some are proofs and others normal but all slabbed, is it ok to collect them like this or should a set be of all normal coins or all proofs. I do have a complete proof set for 1951 now in its original case. When I get time I will post some more pics of the new acquisitions. But for the moment I cannot stop admiring them.

Just arrived a collection of coins to complete my sets of 1951 and 1899 coins. This is just one of them for your comments. I am so please with this one, I can see now what drives you all to find the best coin possible for your collections.

What a cluts I am must put my glasses on. Thanks for the explanation, could not find any reference in the books I have.

I am none the wiser What is a Dot Penny please explain as new to everything about pennies

My fault put the pictures the wrong way round so had to edit again sorry

And here are the Rev in same order.

Right more pictures taken. Here are the two Obv together and will follow up with the Rev to compare.the first picture is of the earlier purchase and the second is the latest purchase.

I agree with you about the edge knocks. Thanks for the input. Yes the lighting is different as the first was as listed. but the second one are my photo's. The second one looks better in the photo's, but comparing them both in hand with lust the naked eye they are very similar. What I may do is take the photo's again with both Obv next to each other and the same for the Rev and see what you all think. I am leaning towards the second on myself. We will let the Jury decide for me on this one after the new photo's are posted.

Just bought another Rocking Horse Crown but not sure if its any better than the one above your opinions welcome please.

I would be the same. Why should they get away with it. If it was for a £200 coin you would be chasing them about it straight away, so why not with a £3 coin. If they get away with it they will keep doing the same. Or at least warn us of who the seller is so it does not happen to us. As a beginner I would welcome knowing of some of these sellers.

I need help with these coins . I found these the other day in a tin, did not realise I still had them from years ago any idea what era and value if any. If anyone is an expert on Roman coins i would be grateful. Thank you

Thanks for you help with the coins, I am not going to get rich then. I really not interested in keeping them so may post on eBay.

And the last hope you can help please.

Next one any Idea please?

Yes I can see it if that helps
