    i dont believe in BU either, i have no issues with toning, its a natuaral proccess, a coin can still tone but be UNC, it should be based on the wear in my view, i have a couple of coins that to the eye look like unlustred coins, BUT you shine it in the light it has that reflective effect from the lustre, and the key is, little wear, it doesnt detract from the grade in my oppinion

    cartwheel whats? never knew such things existed

    i had a look through my average curculated 1892's, and I found one that seems to share the exact size date numerals as an 1891 all numerals are the same size on it, shame the wear in the date is near the 2, i might have had a look there.
  4. scott
    best one i could find, bar a few 1895-1910 bit more detail on both sides then photo makes out, massive die crack going from E in ONE all the way to trident too, guess a good strike caused a strain
  5. scott
    i saw the 8 numeral is smaller, but it seems that way on a few others, but the 1 is definatly wider then normal
  6. scott
    to the eye the 1 in 1892 looks larger (it isn't this illusion is caused by the fat its far chnkier) i know not to worry about date numerals too much, but its getting on my nerves
  7. scott
    yea but look at the reverse
  8. scott
    yea its under the bust
  9. scott
    LCW under bust i have, but the picture is rubbish if you look carefuly you can clearly see the letters
  10. scott
    worst strike? like that? or that?
  11. scott
    my 1919 as you can see wear shows where detail is, full helmit was a probabilty as well as a great head of hair
  12. scott
    i have a VF 1919 that looks well struck
  13. scott

  14. scott

  19. scott
    you guys have so much money though a couple more 1728 6D plumes (scarce type) for 25p 1853 EF farthing (over 52?) for £6.19
  20. scott
    and anyway, we wern't the only ones with streaky coins
  21. scott
    thats the thing, its not lustre, its just the metal colour thoughts on this one? and here is a 1919 farthing
  22. scott
    had a few bargains myself. EF 1926 penny for under £2.50? anyway this is my BIGGEST bargain found this in the 10p tin at me dealers, about 500k mintage, on a french sight similar grade coin of this type is going for 120-150 euro got this in a bulk buy (about 200 coins for £20 (which also had high grade australian penny worth about half the total price) 1939 rhodesia 3D 200k mintage, worth about £50
  23. scott
    i thought that, but the wear means it would be that colour right from the off, also dont see why penny area hasn't been treated
  24. scott

  25. scott
