Coinery Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 OK i think ive finally learnt how to share a link attached is my link to my latest acquisition 1904 Bunc. What do our esteemed members think would you grade this as BuncWhooooHooooo! be good to see the obverse too?Difficult to tell the grade from that image, though it is certainly very high! Unless it's your photography, however,I think you could at least take the B off Bunc?Welcome aboard! Quote

hazelman Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Actually the more i look at it the more i agree that it is AUNC but has lovely strike - do you agree Quote
hazelman Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Where the chin meets the neck(indentation) approx - is that what would be classified as a die flaw - and would it be caused by a poor die ? Quote
Rob Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Difficult to say what you mean as the image is too grainy. Quote
hazelman Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Some questions to the experts :1. This Victoria 1 shilling coin looks great but has it been cleaned2. Am i correct in saying it is obverse 5 and reverse C - getting used to this so need the help3. How would you grade it ?Aunc Quote
hazelman Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Another thing the TO in Victoria are almost touching Quote
Nick Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 1. This Victoria 1 shilling coin looks great but has it been cleaned 2. Am i correct in saying it is obverse 5 and reverse C - getting used to this so need the help 3. How would you grade it ?Aunc 1. Probably cleaned. It's not easy to tell from the photo. 2. It is 5 + B (using Davies terminology). 3. Probably no better than EF, although if cleaned then grade is not particularly relevant. Quote
hazelman Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks I wonder - to look at doesnt look cleaned but in the pic looks cleanedLooks like there is a tear coming from her eye Quote
Nick Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks I wonder - to look at doesnt look cleaned but in the pic looks cleaned Looks like there is a tear coming from her eye A better picture would definitely help. Quote
Peckris Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 OK i think ive finally learnt how to share a link attached is my link to my latest acquisition 1904 Bunc. What do our esteemed members think would you grade this as BuncBunk, I would say Seriously though, two things :1. It's NOT BU. It's got maybe 25% lustre, tops? BU means 90% lustre, some would say even higher.2. The photo is not good; there are what appear to be 'fleck marks' on the coin but that might just be photo artefactsProbably AUNC + lustre in my opinion - is there an obverse picture? Quote
hazelman Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Thanks gents,Obverse is attached on a link above.To look at its got about 70 -75% lustre.Im using Lindner Digital Microscope for my pics as my scanner is down - and all my pics appear to have these fleck marks. Not sure if its because the lighting in my Office is not that good or my ability to use the microscope.If anyone else is using the Lindner Microscope are you finding your pics all appear with flecks.best regards Quote
Peter Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I will say it as I see it.I wouldn't want it due to eye appeal.It is too blotchy for me. Quote
hazelman Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Thats a fair enough comment - I on the other hand am well chuffed Quote
Peckris Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Reverse scanThat's MUCH better! (Though small... see http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/7880-posting-pics/ ). Nice coin.By the way, you do realise you're in the NON British coins thread, don't you? Quote
hazelman Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Terrible discipline on my behalf - will make sure all future posts are in the correct thread Quote
hazelman Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Gents,Can anyone assist in identifying this coinhttp://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k150/frederickalangibson/unk2_zps43beae74.jpghttp://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k150/frederickalangibson/unk1_zpsc2a0ecbd.jpgThanks Quote
