jon Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I know I should of waited until I got the grading book but my finger got the better of me at the weekend. I have now studied the pictures in the book and decided what I think they may be but would like to see what you Photos not fantastic as taken under led spotlight with camera on phone. First up 1896 farthing with some lustre remaining Quote

PWA 1967 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 What do you think grade wise Jon ?. Decent pictures aswell Quote
jon Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 I was leaning towards EF when I looked at them with a magnifying glass but wonder if my grade is too high Quote
1949threepence Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 You 1896, I'd go for EF/aUNC - nice, but the obverse shows slight signs of wear to the Queen's cheek. The reverse looks great. The 1891 - could do with a sharper pic, Jon. But from what I can see, it looks pretty close to toned UNC. Quote
jon Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Thanks for the compliments about the pics btw ☺ Quote
Nordle11 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I'd agree with EF for the first, a little wear on the cheek and Britannia's leg. Good pictures for your first ones though, took me an age to get to where I am now (no where at all) Quote

jon Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Wow I am chuffed to see I am there or there abouts. Hadn't noticed the leg. Just looked under mag. glass and can't tell if it's wear or lustre. Need to buy a good mag. glass. Quote
Peter Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 They appear to be approaching EF but wear is quite visable. Value wise they they would struggle with EF.The VH has an edge knock just after 6 o'clock and what is happening near REG on the 91. Get yourself to a fair armed with a glass/loupe/light I bought 50+ of similar bad boys to these 10x to 45x a few years back.Sold enough on ebay to pay plus make a profit and still have 40+ left. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=magnifyer+with+light&_sop=15&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1311.R11.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xmagnify.TRS0&_nkw=magnifying+light&_sacat=0 Quote
jon Posted March 2, 2016 Author Posted March 2, 2016 I will have another look at them tonight and see if I can see what you mean Peter. I appreciate all the feedback thank you Quote
