Can I pass my grading exam...pt. 2

[Rob 3,152]

Coins of all grades have a place in any collection. Sometimes it is Hobson's Choice with one date from a run only available in low grade whilst being able to fill all the others with minty examples. A run of mint state coins can be just as uninspring as a box of washers when they are uniform in colour, differing maybe only by a small change to the last datal figure.

Thanks Rob.

I must admit just the sheer sorting and researching of this huge world collection is very satisfying y'know?

There is something very exciting and satisfying about the potential of 'finding' a rarity amongst the hoard.

Weaver at least your 1915 HC is sterling.

[Weaver 41]

That's true Peter, and I have about 25 similar grade GV HC's in the collection so at least a reasonable weight in sterling silver.

But y'know...

I would trade all 25 for a couple of HC's in high grade!

Here is my fave GB coin - GV 1915 Halfcrown...

I think you have a starting point. If you like that one, you'll like a better one even more.
