Thanks guys, some semblance of sanity has been restored
Very pleased as that was in a £10 lot along with a couple of viccies I was far more interested in!
I nearly started this one a while ago but decided I was seeing things.
Anyway, without further ado ... Am I still seeing things please, and if so, what? ( I know what I think I see).
A 1908 Penny Obverse for your pleasure.
As I'm the village idiot around here, could one of the wisened gentlefolk please let me know how you (or aforementioned grading company) came to the conclusion that this coin is "cleaned" please?
I just don't see "it".
Cheers!
March is traditionally Yearly Bonus month... perhaps people are pre-emptively spending.
I know my hope-to-get bonus is long since gone and it hasn't arrived yet lol!
I love the toning on the 1898, and I'm not posh about digs too much so if it ever needs a new home...
The 1877 seems like a "normal" example - I imagine it could look nicer with less harsh lighting (or in the hand).
The George.. what do I know about George?
Thanks guys, I'll pay more attention to post Vicky soon I promise
(And I might have to revisit my pile of GV's soon just to check if ensure my run of being unlucky persists!)
