    I do love the description of 1710

    "fine, dark tone, on a slightly irregular flan!"

    I was nearly sea sick just looking at those waves. Borderline melt pot for me, surprised it got anywhere near being catalogued as a single lot! ?

    Where can you view photos of coins in the catalogue without photos ? - There are a few coins I am interested in that don't have pics.

    Only 4 years late to the convo :D better late than never

    I can always rely on you to advise me Mat.

    I have been looking for a 1911 Hollow neck for about a month.

    Remember when I could not find a 1920 florin in high grade - found one at York Coin fair at the FIRST table I looked - KB Coins. I was chuffed.

    I also found a Matte Proof £5 1902 & and a £5 1902 currency both at MS63. Shame they didnt cost same as the 1920 Florin - LOL

  3. Does anyone know if lustre / luster will fade on its own after time.

    I know that other items, like curtains or paintings, if left in sunlight will fade.

    I make mattresses and I know for a fact that foam goes a darker brown due to the warehouse lights exactly like a sun tan and you can see the "Strap Lines" on the foam where the foam above it has been like a very pronounced shadow.

    Coins change due to oil from our fingers so if a coin is untouched and in a cabinet or box which is dark will the lustre fade over time ?

    Advise Please !
