Got an Edward I penny, Henry III Penny (long cross, both in Fine condition), Maria Theresa Thaler for Christmas. Used my Christmas money to get a 1996 25th Anniversary of Decimalization Silver Proof Set, picked up a Morgan dollar and a better condition Standing Liberty Quarter (still not even close to extra fine, I can't ever seem to find them in high grades..., at least the rim of the shield is 90% complete). Ended up paying $140 for all those together (along with a few handfuls of junk foreign coins). Also bought an awful condition 1758 Sixpence off of eBay for 3.80 Pounds with shipping. Less for the coin and more to try to become more familiar with currency conversion and international shipping so I can feel more comfortable buying better grade specimens from British dealers. Since my only camera is my cameraphone, I've only got seller's pics for the sixpence.

To be honest, the coin looks much better in hand than the pics make it out to be. And overall, not a bad purchase, everything went smoothly, shipping wasn't too long (auction ended at Sunday my time, and was here on Saturday). I'm now debating whether to keep it, or to put it on a necklace or something and sell/give it away as a jewelry piece.

You mean, the hole isn't really there? :D

If you look at it in the distance and squint really hard you don't see it :P
