Here's mine, bought DNW auction Sept 2008 - quite a steep price (£260 hammer), and good lustre on the obverse, but a dark reverse. https://www.dnw.co.uk/auction-archive/lot-archive/lot.php?lot_uid=158753 DNW's photography is somewhat flattering to the reverse!

Should anyone ever tell you collecting is for sad anoraks I suggest you refer them to Hacker T Dog.....

That's a lovely one !

As one dealer told me, this micro-incremental grading scale is just a way of making more money out of collectors. This here being a prime example.

Here's my 1887 MS63

It would appear to be a lead token of some description, possibly a metal detector find. It is quite large at just over 2cm, and is quite unusual in its design. I wonder whether it is the sort of thing purchased at a mediaeval shrine on a pilgrimage, one side could easily be a representation of a rood screen and the other perhaps an aisle or arch with figure representations. Certainly not a typical lead farm/trade token. Do you have any idea of how it was found? It won’t be of much value, but if you have any provenance you could show it to your local Finds Liaison Officer. Jerry

Beautiful film, take a hanky, you might want to wipe away a tear.

I'm going to the cinema this week, apparently. I've been invited to a bowel cancer screening. Not sure what it's about....
