Still trying to get some good pictures, how do you guys take clear close ups ?
I have a canon sx500 is, is this no good for close ups?
thanks for any help.
I have searched for 19th century tokens but cant find it. I was wondering if it was a love token of some kind, as having so much wear. its as thin as a worn hammered penny.
Thanks guys for the replies, I thought it may have been the top of a riding crop or walking stick, but the rev does have some sort of design on it, not clear on a scan.
There is a branch or leaves to the rim of the coin/token on rev.
Hiya all
found this a few years ago.
Half crown of York 10.5 gm.
It is said uncertain half crowns were made by inferior and sometimes by exceedingly unskilful, workmen
I don't think this was, but who made it ?
any ideas.
Sorry. ?
Metal detecting is an amazing way of collecting coins. Coins that I would never have been able to afford. The double crown was found about 2005 on plough land, I had a 50/50 agreement with the farmer so had the coin looked at by mike vosper coins via internet who gave me a valuation of 600 pounds.. so even though it was found it still cost me 300 that was a lot of money to find for a coin.
But finding it was such an amazing buzz.
