Rob Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 A couple of rare halfpenny duplicates for disposal as follows. Please contact me for big pictures. 1738 V/S in GEORGIVS (ex-Nicholson lot 249). Based on fairly exhaustive searches through past auction catalogues, this is the 3rd best example I have found. £375.1863 Tall 3 Proof Freeman 293 (No specimen known!) of which I have found 4 examples. £495.
Chris Perkins Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Could you post reasonable sized pictures on here?
Rob Posted February 11, 2006 Author Posted February 11, 2006 Could you post reasonable sized pictures on here? Best picture for the 1738 is this link to the Nicholson pictures.This is the 1863, but a scanner doesn't show the amount of original colour remaining. If anyone knows how to get good scans of bronze and copper with a realistic colour for lustre, please let me know.
Gary Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Hi Rob reference your scanning problem- get a good digital Camera, its quicker and the colour is true. There is another tread on this forum about digital photography of coins, I am sure you have read it.
