    Crikey. Talk about a transformation. Is it trick photography or has the coin been treated?

    Neat capture - love that phrase "brutally honest state"

    Could be an H. It's in about the right spot. Here's one for comparison:- http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/img.php?a=160&l=2446&f=r&s=m

    Absolutely fantastic find, Richard. Very, very well done. Probably just about the best F28 out there.

    No worries. Very nice coin. No worries. Very nice coin.

    Although at least one can easily discern every word Bradley Walsh says, unlike some accents in the UK.

    They do exist. It's finding them that's difficult.

    It's just his manner. Once you get to know him he's a lovely guy. I'll get me coat ----->

    What's the remainder of the serial number?

    Here's a shot of my much more typical1907 reverse for comparison. Like yours, nominally a/UNC with reasonable lustre. But just look how blurry and tired the detail is, compared to yours, which is much sharper. Like comparing standard with high definition using a television analogy.

    Often poor in the case of 1906 and 1907, the reverse of your 1907 looks really nice.

    "and why not?", as Barry Norman would have said.

    Indeed, although when a coin is advertised as "shows signs of old cleaning, now re-toning", you know that long past occasion will have been anything other than a careful act of cleaning. I'm not sure what the distinction is between "cleaning" and "conservation". Maybe the same as between "slabbed" and "encapsulated".

    Courtesy of Richard, an 1862 Freeman 39A, 8 over 6. Very pleased.

    I'd grade it at aVF. There's distinct signs of wear, although the shield lookd reasonably intact.

    Same here, Jon.

    It's the most obvious clincher on an ME. Instantly visible to the naked eye.

    Precisely the point I raised in the other recent thread about Michael & Rendell. Their photography is dreadful. As I said at the time, I can do better than that just using my tablet under a bog standard incandescent bulb. They have a huge stock of coins, yet still cannot get this basic skill under their belts.

    Hasn't it just. Looking forward to the warm days of Summer.

    You could be right, Pete.

    Probably the only factually accurate things in the Mail are yesterday's midday temperatures and the football results. The irony is that their website is very popular and with just a bit more truth and realism, as well as dropping the jingoistic xenophobia, they could be really good.

    Being from Chelmsford I'm an East Anglian lad. I'm pretty sure the radio commentator is an old schoolmate of mine.
  23. 1949threepence
    Well done you !!!
  24. 1949threepence
    Lost out on my two bids. Never once bid successfully at a March LCA in several attempts.

    Definitely F7 - sea reaches linear circle to left of lighthouse. Making it reverse C.
