When I have a few extra minutes I will look for Igor, thank you! I am near to finalizing all I can do with this collection, as you may have guessed this is not my forte; and yet I have so truly, truly enjoyed the research! My passion is geneology in my spare time, and this search is for those very people so it has truly been special. Although we will retain some pieces for the geneology project and our children, we will be selling most of it, yes. May I contact you when this time comes? As you say you are in germany, maybe you can help me with a coin I have been unable to locate another like and am presuming it to be german? I have attached the photo for your review.

The word doc is a blown up image of the rescan at 300dpi. I will try and do better. The original collector (I believe there were 2 different sources) seemed to have a passion for averse upset coins and the unusual. 3/4 of the collection is this way. Does this make forgeries more a probability or less? Thank you for the G-III info., I will see which ones we have and hope none are the 2nd head, 1817-20. Happy Ground Hog Day! ( I cannot recall, do Britains celebrate GHD?) I used to work for Marconi and was 'up' on British holidays, but it has been a few years so I am rusty. Sincere Regard.

BC300dpi_rev.doc I changed the dpi to 300, but do not want to go to large and cause messaging problems. It has certainly improved the coloring, hope this helps. I just noted the 150k capacity, I will give it another go. Thanks for your patience. Here it is in a word document, I think this is more of what you had in mind.

Photo 2 of 2 re: 1820 George III? Shiela

I'm sorry for the delay, I was unaware my scanner was down until the other day. I have sent the front and back in seperate attachments, and posted seperately as I am having problems attaching both in the same post. I look forward to your reply. Regards, Shiela Ps. Not quite 80 yet!

I am unable to confirm that the George IV Half Crown was available in 1820. What I have is a left facing bust w/ thistle crown. Reverse: House of Hanover coat of arms shield and crown above, and ANNO, the date and a rose below. I am very new at this and very laden with old coins, so I have begun the necessary work. I cannot say for certain the metal (darkened with age) however if I had to guess I would guess copper. This is either an incorrect guess, or a forgery?? Please advise. Regards, Shiela (Can provide a photo if someone takes an interest.)
