hey, we won didn't we?!

Can you please post pictures? It might not be a crown but a coronation medal for example, or a crown struck for one of the colonies. Or even a private mint.

Thanks for the help everyone. This is great.

Do remember this: it's far better to have one UNC coin of a particular type, than a date run in F (for example). Just saying...

Google "convert HEIC to JPEG"

If a coin looks bright and shiny, don't immediately assume it's been cleaned. Here's one way to tell: IF the fields look bright and shiny but the design and legend are not, then it's unlikely to have being been cleaned. However, if the legend looks bright but the field between the characters does not, then it could well have been cleaned. Remember that cleaning will affect the highest parts more than the lowest, especially between the legend.

Oh, that's that [multiple words censored] Apple image format that nothing else can easily use. You're using an iPhone? See if there is a setting to save it as jpg instead.

I agree.

I am sorry but I am unsure on how to convert it into a jpg.

Sorry about that. I will try later.

Not a file format my Windows machine can recognise. Is it possible to convert it to jpg or something similar?

so do I, blame putin , they are still good value at £25

Sorry it’s in a file format.

Here is a better photo. IMG_7924.HEIC

Thanks copper123. Those trays do look nice and £25 is a fair price but I wish they were still £12.

Thanks Paddy.

The five tray coin boxes that were in lidl arround fouryears ago for £11.99 were fantastic there are a few on ebay still available for around £25 , I am pretty sure you will not see the old price again ever

I think you need to Scale your image down rather than just crop it, so we can see the whole coin. As to whether that Nickel has been cleaned - difficult to say from that pic. It would not be surprising if it has. There is quite a lot of wear, but equally Nickel doesn't tarnish so the surfaces are likely to remain quite bright.

The shilling is also a great coin and the earlier ones are gorgeous.

By the way, I use the Photo Manager app to keep the photos below 500KB.

Apologies for the bad photo, if I did the full image, it would have been too much data.

I have this very shiny 1937 USA buffalo Nickel. To me, it looks too shiny to not be cleaned.

Thanks Guys.

I use Irfanview, also free.

You need to ensure the photos total no more than 500Kb per post. You may need to acquire a suitable photo editor to achieve this - On Windows machines Photoscape, which is free, is a good option and the one I use. Also, once you have posted a picture in a particular thread, the system remembers that and won't let you post another straight away. Simply come out of the thread and back in and it should then let you.
