Common but great looking coin

[unc]

I have been really enjoying the forum as a newbie so I thought I'd post an image of a favourite coin in my collection of 'radio rental' George 3rd. It has plum toning to the reverse which doesn't quite come out in the scan but the mirror-like fields astound me.

I know it's common but have you seen/got one better?

What do you think?

Maybe I should have posted it on another part of the forum but this part is easy to follow and the replies are great.

And the reverse.

That's a sixpence right? (The shilling has the same design). That one is a real beaut, especially the obverse. Wonderful tone and fields. Yes, it's fairly common, but you don't often see them in that condition.

(Not sure what you mean by 'Radio Rental' Geo III ? It pushes all the right buttons? It cost as much as a month's TV hire? It gets a great reception if held the right way? It came in an envelope marked BAIRD? You're paying by monthly instalments? Spill...)

Very funny Mate. Good try.

Mental!

Remember the madness of King George? Political correctness and all that, People in my neck of the woods will often say 'he's gone radio'.

Glad you like the coin but it's a shilling. I promise it is faultless even though I have maximised the mirror effect.Wanna see my 1816 sixpence? No bother. Green and purple toning. Beautiful.

Cheers,

Alex.

Ah, the Cockinese tribe, yes?

I would have spotted it was a shilling if I had actually bothered to read the sub-title of the thread. Both very nice coins though.

Yeah i suppose so, cockernees.

Nice coins though eh?

All the best.!

Cockinese? Cockernees? It's so long since I saw that classic Spike Milligan sketch, I can't remember HOW the "tribe name" was spelled, that's if we ever knew!
