Thanks Paddy. I agree, I now think it is just an H. There is a lump of verdigris half on this feature and it appeared to be a 2. I am a metal detectorist so don't dig many collectable condition coins. These bronze coins sometimes come up in lovely condition with beautiful green, brown and almost black patinas depending on the chemicals that have been added to the soil over the years. Others come up in horrible condition. I have dug Roman, Edward hammered pennies, a James I sixpence and even a New England, Masachussets Pine Tree 3d in poor condition.
Wonder how that got here - the mind boggles

"Scott" is reference to another member here who has a particular affinity with metal-detectorist coins!
As for cleaning - be very careful and don't use anything abrasive or corrosive. One technique is to soak in clean water and then put in the deep freeze. Wash off and repeat several times. With luck this will split off some of the Verdigris and crud without damaging the underlying metal.
You forgot the pray to god bit LOL

Oh yeah, I've bought off of him, only from his auctions. He does get some decent pieces from around the world he auctions.
I love the way its listed under Elizabeth II sixpence why can he not get the simplest thing right do you think I should email him and tell him he has it wrong or do you think I will get an insulting reply.

I am very new to collecting and I have a question about the $10 British Virgin Islands 1900 - 2000 coin issued in 2000 1 oz silver coin.
The only examples I can find online have no gem insert and I'd like to know how rare or valuable the coin is. So does anyone here know where I can find such information.
...
I also have a £2 South Georgia & south sandwich islands 2000 1 oz silver coin which has the crown crest and celebrates the queen mothers 100th Birthday. It also has a small gem insert.
I paid how much for that horse and its still not won anything!!!

Well that sounds like one 'ell of a challenge !😉
But, how are you going to be sure it's not one from one of the year sets already released being scanned and posted...
copying off the internet is bad form
you can tell from a left click can't you
the year set coins have a mint mark as well
Hey it's only a bit of fun there is no prize at the end of it - I would expect them to be found in one of our big cities like Birmingham or -Manchester - Glasgow or Coventry, they usually get released in these places

The first £1 coins featuring King Charles III are entering circulation this week.
Almost three million coins have been issued to post offices and banks across the country.
The coins mark the King's new reign and celebrate his love of the natural world, with the reverse side featuring a pair of bees.
Even as the King becomes a familiar sight on coins, those featuring Queen Elizabeth II will remain in circulation. New sets of coins are struck in response to demand.
"It is an honour to reveal that King Charles III’s £1 coin is now in circulation," said Rebecca Morgan, director at the Royal Mint.
"We know there’ll be a buzz of excitement amongst collectors and the public to get this special piece of history in their change."
FIRST TO SCAN ONE AND PUT THE PICTURE ON HERE WINS!

Books can be expensive so unless you intend taking coin collecting up as a hobby there are plenty free sites on the net where good info is available , start there .

Made under the rule of Elizabeth the second and not Victoria as well

If a genuine coin and i cannot see that it's vastly better grade at least near fine
-
Worth more like $82 while its had little wear the coin appears badly struck and would be difficult to sell in this condition - is this one of the better grading houses in the us or are they "Cowboys"?

No postage specified, otherwise I might have made him an offer of £1, just to see his reaction!
First time I have noticed the "Ebay automated Feedback". How long has this been going on? Positive but "This seller successfully completed an order" certainly counts as "Damning by faint praise!
That buyer would not be a full shilling methinks
