How Are US TPGs with English Coins?

This seems to be widespread in the sinister world of slabbing.

I have shown a few coin previously that I have severe doubts on the grading - see the 1920 specimen half crown previously posted (at 61) & a matte 1951 also at MS61. Can't see how they are within even 3 points conservatively of grade after seeing them in all lights and magnification up to 30x. I have seen '02 matte crowns at 64 and 5 with wipes clearly visible and 62s that had none under any light or magnification.

any chance of a pic of the 1920 specimen half crown and 51 matte ?     ;0)

Craigy, these were in previous postings, and the reason I say that is I just never seem to be able to post pictures without help. If you email me I can send them to you & you may either look and/or repost them. The '51 still has the material they use for blasting the matte finish adhering to the devices on reverse...

[Guest hi Peter]

I'm stumped with one little gold rings and I can't find any info on it.

 it has St George slaying a dragon on one side & two lions holding a cross on the other side.

Is this rings of some value ?????

Thanks
