Nordle11 Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Your pictures are much better than the sellers. That tone though... Yes please. 1 Quote
Rob Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Rust spots on the knee make this a KH4 rather than a KH2. Given this came out of Baldwin's basement, which Peck had access to when compiling his tome, I suspect he must have missed a few. 5 Quote
azda Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Is this a newbie Rob or one that's been stored in your basement for a while? Quote

Paulus Posted August 29, 2016 Author Posted August 29, 2016 My favourite toning on your recently posted OH shillings so far Nick Quote
Nick Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 I don't know what it is about the OH shillings, but they do seem to tone readily. Quote
Sleepy Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 My first attempt at showing my coins and as we are only talking toning and not quality here's a couple of half crowns! Quote
Stuntman Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 They are good honest coins that have seen plenty of action over their lifetime. You could enjoy speculating about whose hands they passed through, and what items they were exchanged for. 1 Quote
Sleepy Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Thanks Stuntman, now that I have the bones of a collection (British pre decimal to 1816) I'm going to start and concentrate on the quality a bit more. Quote
Nordle11 Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Nice pictures, you've managed to capture them well. You'll definitely enjoy the investment of higher quality coins, well done on getting a base collection too it will be fun upgrading as you go along. Quote

It's a real shame about the two small horizontal marks on the leg because those aside there isn't any wear to be seen. It is in the 'Too nice to sell' section of the collection. Quote

Are the striations in the field from die polishing? Quote
