craigy

dunno runs in a line across the coin, looks like tyre tracks lol

1914

curly limb X and wedge tailed R

Class 5b2 round eyes, pellets at end of crown,

chuck em up,

aint found any hammered for a bit, found this though a couple of weeks ago, head of a tudor pin, silver gilt, filigree, have gridded the are but not found the missing pin

found this nice welsh cut half of Rhuddlan Mint back end of spring this year, , retrograde N and the 5 3 1 pellet crown configuration gives it away, moneyer is Simond

Henricus rex terci, as above bury st edmunds, the X in rex tells me its class 2b

sorry was not aware, my bad ;0)

my thought straight away

what would this grade as in peoples opinions ? is it natural colour or cleaned, hopefully you can work out what are scratches on the case and not the coin

so there is such a fine line between the grades, the busts on george V aren't that great at the best of times, i can see the slight differences, just knowing what the starting point is

just a variation in the plating i guess, its certainly not a fake

i wonder about lca as well

can i ask on what basis, not because i think your wrong but to help me understand grading, is it the lack of lustre ? i understand these were darkened at the mint ?

nice 1927 halfcrown, some toning but got it rather cheap

what about this one ? the black lines on the obverse are not on the coin,

na looks fine, defo real

i'd go 3 d, or 3c transitional

that side looks ok,

cant see anything
