Hello! Mine: Look at the lions' tails - on your coin: the vertical lines over them, not as mine.

And a shilling to compare:

Totaly agree about GV bronze. Look at my pic (btw - it's about UNC):

The first good results I had with LED light for Copper coinage, which not reflects very much. Daylight is not an alternative for me. If you photograph the obverse of a coin and the light afterwards changes just a little bit, you will get a a different reverse photo in terms of lightning. I tried that and it made me sick. Now I use special lamps with "day-light character" (5400 kelvin). I think perfect would be such a lamp with the shape of a ring. You can find an example in the following link. Sorry, a German page http://www.studiobedarf24.eu/shop/product_...euchte-22W.html Hello! Do you take a picture through the lamp oder was?

Done.

No, no - my mistake - one is in reccomended, sorry

Let's bid! (in hope to take it cheaper... :-) Chris, I'm not sure, but I think you've listed it twice...

180?

Hello! Very interesting coin. What I found is: http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.ph...22&Lot=3128 Not so much and not so inspired as W&W's price.

Q looks totaly different too.

I agree with you Sergy. For me it just tries to cover too much ground. There must be room in the market for a magazine produced in Britain with the emphasis on old British coins. I know this sounds a little parochial, but it is where most of our interests lie. I seem to remember Coin Monthly (whatever happened to that) being far more my cup of tea. I just don't want to read about new issues of otherwise humdrum coins in 9 ct. gold issued by Brunei or wherever. True.

Hello. It's also "stamps and coins" magazine, but it's mostly stamps, rather then coins. So it's almost the only one magazine "CoinNews" by Token Publishing, due that it's the best. However for me it is not so informative as it could be.

As far as I know it's their own or very close encapsulated company, so it very far from reality. About all coins from MS-62 to MS-66.

Here, in Moscow, it legal to buy and to read it. However now we have our own Mein Kampf - Mein Plan by mr. Putin. Yesterday I've listened to the radio about comparison pre-Hitler's Germany and post-soviet Russia. Very, very, very (till the last digit) similar. I am bit worry.
