marvinfinnley Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Pasting does work! Here is my 1850 half crown:And the reverse: Edited May 25, 2015 by marvinfinnley Quote
marvinfinnley Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Strange. In the edit screen, I was able to paste in the picture, but when I saved it, the picture was not there (see above). I have a jpg that's less than 150 kB, but which icon do I use to embed it? There's one that says "link" and one that says "image." Both seem to need a URL. When I put in a URL using the "link" icon, I got, you guessed it, a link to the picture in dropbox. But how to create an inline picture embedded in the post??? Quote

marvinfinnley Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Ha ha, well perhaps in this instance I will agree about the "scrap" comment. Anyway I'm getting used to 8.1.So OK I will try Firefox. Thanks for the tip. Quote
Paulus Posted May 29, 2015 Author Posted May 29, 2015 New pics of a coin I've had for a while but not posted on here before.Beautifully toned and one of my favourite reverse designs: 1 Quote
azda Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 One of my favourite REV design as well along with the 1825 halfcrown REV design Quote
ozjohn Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Nice. I posted a similar coin dated 1820 on page 3 of this thread. Quote
Paulus Posted May 29, 2015 Author Posted May 29, 2015 1820 Halfcrown I think I paid about $AU 110 for it in the late 1980sStunning coin Ozjohn, and great pics too Quote
ozjohn Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Thanks your coin ain't bad either. I think azda is right about the reverse designs for these and the 1825 - 1829 halfcrowns. Quote
Paulus Posted May 31, 2015 Author Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Just been drooling over the amazing coin porn in this thread again. Worth revisiting time after time for the stunning examples and quality photography Here's another of mine, partly just to re-promote the thread! Edited May 31, 2015 by Paulus Quote

Paulus Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks Rob! Boy, there can't be many of them about! Quote
Rob Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks Rob! Boy, there can't be many of them about!Comparatively common. They rarely get over 2K Quote
Paulus Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 That's more up my street, early hammered has yet to float my boat. The history in these Charles I civil war issues, well that's something else. An Oxford is on my wants list Quote
Paulus Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 You have a very interesting coin collection Rob, and one well worth presenting some how, some day! I know photographing coins frustrates you at times, as it does me, and many others, but how do you, personally, take pleasure from perusing your collection? Is it very often from viewing pics, of varying quality and accuracy of likeness, or do you regularly view your coins 'in hand'?I'm really interested in your (and other's) views on this, if a collection has to be stored away in a bank vault (for example), then are you only left with the pics, many of which you wish were of better quality? Quote
Rob Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 You can only deal with a very small portion of a collection at any one time, so the question of it being in a bank vault is not a major problem. You might want to look at a small group, but it is difficult to imagine a study that would require hundreds of coins in hand at the same time.Coins are bought individually and are best viewed as a single object. Two coins side by side invariably leads you to say one is better than the other, whereas in many respects they will still be equal. Not all coins are available in identical grade, toning, or shape, but all were purchased on their individual merits. Quote
Coinery Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Milled coins just ain't what they used to be? They just got a whole lot better! Quote
Rob Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Milled coins just ain't what they used to be? They just got a whole lot better! Oops. Forgot that. Much easier to find nice hammered than milled. Quote
Rob Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Apologies. Normal service restored. 1817 shilling with I/S in HONI Quote
Rob Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 And the seriously heavily toned Peck R44 halfpenny reverse. Quote
