GateGateGo Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Popped home for lunch to find the first of my coins had arrived - oddly, it's the third one I ordered (thx, Royal Mail...) & one I took a bit of a punt on as the pics available were, well, frankly a bit shit. I think my risk was justified for a tenner - what do you guys think? 1928 George V Half Crown: Quote
GateGateGo Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 Oh, and the reverse looks better 'in the metal' than my dodgy, camera 'phone shots suggest. Nice lustre, too. I'll try & get the DSLR / macro combo on it soon, in better light but this (novice opinion & possibly dead wrong!) looks n/aEF to me? Frank Quote
Stuntman Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I reckon you're about right on the grade. Reverse looks slightly better than the obverse to me. Nice coin for a tenner! 1 Quote
GateGateGo Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 Thanks, good to know I'm not wildly off beam! Yes, the reverse is better than the obverse - if it wasn't for the scratchiness (which looks nowhere near so bold 'in the hand'), I'd have been inclined to give this a straight EF. Not at all displeased with this for an early score. Quote

GateGateGo Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Nyet, comrade. Oh, you mean football? Nah, Dude - athletics & motorsport are more my thing, although if pushed, I may admit an (irrational) fondness for 'Latics (Oldham, of course!) & Yeovil. Quote
GateGateGo Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Don't judge me! 'Tis a family thing - not my fault I comes from bumpkin stock Quote
PWA 1967 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I am daft and from Manchester but ..........YEOVIL............cant take another post seriously . You will be saying next your from Burnage and sing in the bath to oasis........ Only joking frank and welcome to the forum. Pete. 1 Quote
GateGateGo Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Hey, Pete - thanks for the welcome! Ha, no - but my mate Dean was bullied by Liam at primary school, if that counts? Strictly speaking, I'm Stopfordian but that's impossible to alliterate with 'Frank', innit?? Quote

I used to run for Yeovil Olympiads Athletic Club in the 1980s 1 Quote
Rob Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I was in Yeovil today to see a roof repaired on a property I own. (Mini tornado picked it up on New Year's Eve and didn't put it back where it found it) Yeovil is clearly the centre of the universe. 1 Quote
GateGateGo Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 So it seems, Rob - damn fine town! Sorry to hear about the roof... Didn't know 'light blue' were flying outta Yeovilton, though!? I'm afraid my active participation in anything athletic is a good thirty years or more behind me, Stuntman. All thanks to these bitches... Quote
