so my book on grading still hasnt arrived so im making a more educated guess on the grades so from left to right EF VF EF FINE Really need to sort this uploading of pic lark im not happy at all the 1910 coin should be alot more golden than it does and it looks like its been cleaned but in the hand it certainly hasnt I shall have to try my camera and the sizes have gone to pot on the second 1902 obverse it looks like it has a long curved scratch it dosent its a hair on the scanner any opinions am i close

Very nice coin you have Debbie

Cheers replied

Well i paid £40 for that hope i didnt overpay Still like the coin i prefer my 1910 shilling though

Is it me or has this had the skotch bright treatment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1905-Silver-Florin-Rare-Edward-VII-/261040250395?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item3cc7361e1b

Would the above florin grade as GVF ta

Fair comment Im actually quite pleased that im not miles apart in my very basic grading, being no more than one full grade away is better than i was last week the 1910 is currently my fav coin it looks the muts nuts in the hand not a high grade but lots of eye appeal

im a bit confuddled where the grade fair comes in im working on poor fine very fine extra fine unc fdc :unsure: :unsure:

a better pic of the o5

these pics of the 1910 are better

Why,just why

Pekris have you tried using a different coloured background.My first coin was done on a scanner and i think the toning shows up well.All i used was a yellow background

I would call a coin something that was minted as legal tender

This one? http://www.mycoincollection.co.uk/

Well im using my scanner as i find using the camera a right pain as its either out of focus too much light etc etc

Hi all well i finally started my collection with this edward vii florin If i've graded it correctly its "fine".More to come hopefully How do you all get such good quality pics up here

No probs whatsoever im learning too

What it called ta

Got a copy of spink,problerm i find is its just a list of prices with little to reference to as to what to expect a fine vf or ef to look like .So i think i will get some more books

cheers all,paid £25 no really got the hang of this grading stuff yet.I'll just have to get some more to try

The value dosent really intrest me that much.im just amazed they managed to do the engraving :)Thanks for the welcome
