I should like to enter this Double florin:

It's a pleasing example, at least a VF, with some uneven wear and a slight dig in the obverse!

That is the first coin that I have seen which has been shot! Why would anyone have shot a coin? It must have been done within the last 75 years or so because I cannot see someone shooting a very substantial sum of money!

probably...

the pictures must be at least this quality...

(before we had pictures that were smaller or worse/darker and no-one voted for them, the coins got eliminated in the first round every time, many people vote on eye appeal alone, not on rarity value or anything)

A bad picture of a 1933 penny would get slaughtered by a good picture of a 1934 penny. (no two ways about it).

Should I enter a differernt coin then, cos that's as good as i can get it? :unsure: If you wanted, I could enter that threehalfpence I was telling you about in the other thread? I can attach a pic....

And yes, not authorised came up ;)

must be this quality or better...

(this is about the worst that will stand a chance) Yours are too dark to see anything.

This one is darker than i'd like (and thus it wouldn't stand much chance) Try it now, it should work!

Should I enter the threehalfpence then Sylvester?

I put the wront thing on the link that's why, i tried linking to the picture location, rather than the website it is on, for those that known how to use %7Boption%7D tags that should be clear.

If you can edit it William and lighten the threehalfpence up just a touch then i'll let you enter that.

I have managed to lighten them both up. Which do you think is the right quality for the competition.
