As at 19/7 (just under 2 weeks) they had all reached 'Finalising Grade'

From David Groom's book, the features that distinguish Obv 2a from both 1 and 2: In BRITT: Straight leg to 'R' Larger gap 'R' to 'I' In EDWARDVS: Tail of 'R' is straight Tail of 'R' is short Wide gap 'R' to 'D'

How I have missed your dinner plates Dave! I hope that's not a stonking great fingerprint at 10 o'clock on the rev?

Fine for me too now :)

Yep, Alt-PrtScn to copy the pop up window to the clipboard, then Ctrl + V to paste it into Paint.net or whatever. PrtScn to copy the whole screen ... really intuitive eh!

I had to use Photo Bucket Peck

This is what I get using Google Chrome v28:

I have just realised that 6 of these 7 coins were acquired from Forum members! So of course none of then will come back as dodgy!

The two side of this coin, posted on behalf of Soo1962 (Sue):

Coin #7 UIN 28557:

Coin #6 UIN 28564 (the obv not being one of CGS' finest pics!) :

Coin #5 UIN 28556:

Coin #4 UIN 28559:

Coin #3 : UIN 28560:

Coin #2 : UIN 28561:

Rightly or wrongly (depending on your many points of view) I have submitted another small batch of coins to CGS. They tell me to expect about a 6 week turnaround time, which is about a week longer than my first batch took back in February. Some of these will be up for sale, and I was very pleased with the selling prices I got for those I sold from the first batch. So for those of you that like this kind of thing, I invite you to take a stab at the grading CGS will assign to them - they were submitted on 5/7 and pics were available from yesterday 9/7 - there are 7 coins to guess at. Coin #1 : UIN 28558:

Is that the best example they could find for their pics? Doesn't look very attractive to me!
