  3. Quite an impressive first post, to say the least.

  4. It's not entirely bad, but there is certainly wear on the king's hair/beard/brow/cheek/tash/ear and on the lion's body/tail/feet and also on parts of the crown.

  6. Nice one, Terry but why the different backgrounds to the photos ? If anyone else had put these pictures up on Ebay, I'd have smelt a rat !

  7. Finding good graded coins has been good of late, another box of coins processed and this 1915 Shilling George V although heavily tarnished its quite a good grade, the lions nose seems a bit rubbed, but the rest seems un touched, vast improvement on the one I already had.... 👍🙏

  8. The UK £sd may have been accepted but they started coining their own dollar in 1865 with cent coins and going to 50 cents in silver and 2 dollars in gold. I do find the 50 cent coin to have a very beautiful portrait of Victoria. I have too many desires and not enough money, but a type set of Newfoundland coins (one of each denomination & monarch) would be a terribly fun set to get.

  9. The other pick up today was this 1874 Penny. I think it is 8+G making it F77, but feel free to correct me if I am wrong. The lines in the fields, particularly on the reverse, are confusing. My original thought was die-clash, but I can' make out which parts of the design they could represent. The coin is currently taking an Acetone bath to make sure it is not some glue residue!

  11. You're seeing things. Another classic case of pareidolia, methinks. On a genuine die 5, the die number is much larger than your "blob" and also slightly to the right of a border tooth. Your anomaly is to the left... See below:

  12. Ah, sorry. I don't think it's a 5 either TBH.

  13. I'm not entirely sure what you are seeing, but it's not an H if that's what think it is. Or the face of Jesus either.

  14. Found another quite good condition coin from the hoard..... albeit 2 pence Maundy, George IIII, 1822, 😕 not sure I can cope with all of these good condition coins after a life time of manky worn out ones.... 😕
