    1935 both incuse and raised have no reeding. 1854 also has no reeding.

    I dunno, I set mine up once (carefully) and haven't changed it since.

    If your budget will stretch to a second hand (or even new) minelab E-Trac, thats probably the best one out there, although anyone who owns a detector will have their own opinion. I know from my own experience that I don't miss anything - last trip out I managed a total of 5 minims, along with around 40 other Roman coins.

    I have to say @Rob, thats one gorgeous proof!

    Does the BN mean Bent Nicely?

    A little bit of practice on exposure and aperture and I think you'll have it nailed

    Most auto modes will pick a spot to focus on and shoot, where you may focus at random on any given high or low spot - probably not even centered. if you shoot manual and set up your focus point and manually focus,. then you 'll get sharp

    I drew a line. no johnny foreigner stuff, theres too much British out there already.

    If you need a bag of 1.5k of foreign junk I'm taking offers lol.

    I know what you mean, it took me a couple of takes to get some lustre to show on my threepence, but I was only messing with it inbetween working, so haven't really explored best lighting etc yet. Mainly I got it because getting the DSLR out is just annoying for coins.

    I gave in. Microscope USB cam - £35 quid from Amazon.

    I bet your jewellery projects are probably worth nearer his price tag than that piece of shit..
  18. Unwilling Numismatist
    I totally agree!
  19. Unwilling Numismatist
    Many were silver dipped as currency became worth less, so it's probably a good match to be honest

    As soon as they're seen they either get "collected" or ebayed, either way they ain't going back into circulation.

    A word play on another thread, but who's bought what after a little too much juice? I have to own up to 3 collections of rang, 2 charity shop piles and a few Royal mint sets worth far less than face. Did you do ok in the end? Mine are a waiting game but so far I'm a little ahead thankfully!
  22. Unwilling Numismatist
    the local rumour mill suggests that they are appearing, but so far very few have been seen.
  23. Unwilling Numismatist
    I gave in and bought A to Z too. Just need 3 £2 coins to complete those now as a distraction to collecting Vicky silvr...and bronze. Not sure how it happened. Silver was my happy place til I came here and now everything costs me so much more lol.
  24. Unwilling Numismatist
    Nevermind, I know I saw it somewhere. Cheers!
