Those are shillings from when I used to collect shillings and halfpennies as denominations. All four were culled over the past 10 years when I refocused the collection. Although I don't have them any more, I thought they were pretty enough to include on the thread. Here's another, a Wiener pattern, ESC 1380.

My 1902 Halfcrowns. They are not encapsulated coins. They were scanned in a plastic capsule as I think it produces a better scan by stopping the coin making contact with the glass table of the scanner.

I don't know how you could bear to part with that.

That's one I regret. I had the reverse duplicated with a copper 1383, so was hoping to find the same obverse with a different reverse. Just never happened.

It still might, I guess?

The copper ESC1383 (same dies as the ESC1382 above) that I kept is a better coin than either of the two silver pieces shown, so getting rid of these two silver pieces was the logical move. I just didn't anticipate the difficulty replacing the ESC1380 with something other than the dies seen on the ESC1382 above.

I love the toning on the reverse Paul. I would love a 1911 proof set but other things keep catching my eye meaning funds go elsewhere!!

A new addition to my Vickies recently, it has some nice colours but unfortunatly I'll need to try harder to capture them.
