2009 20P Coin, Has The Queen Really Got A Boil?

Recommended Posts

Not bad Tomo, though you might want to add some side lighting so that the boils cast more of a shadow (can't believe I just typed that LOL!)

I find I sometimes have to rotate coins to vary where the shadows lie to best pick out the details I find most important. Bit of trial an error but worth experimenting after all, you're selling the errors (most everyone knows what a 20p piece looks like) so they need to stand out.

Lol,

Must say Tom, I have never had so many problems trying to photograph anything before.. :-) it's like a mirror!!!

Will endeavor to make others a bit better. Which means having to borrow the father'n'laws camera set up his (pride and joy) apart from his daughter lol.. The other coins are varied in age, condition and faults but no 2 are Exactly the same. Thankyou

The queen really has a boil - if you believe that go to jail directly to jail do not pass go, do not collect £200 .

Please note your jail term will last until you cannot see the boil anymore , if after three weeks of questioning you can still see the boil move directly to the tower of London and await your sentence which will be the first person since 1746 to be hung drawn and quartered.

Good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S HM Goverment reserves the right to release your death on you tube / dvd for a fee of course and your final selfless act will be used to reduce the national debt (Hopefully to zero) :D

The only interesting cud I've seen is one positioned under Queenie's nose, makes it look like a huge blob of snot. 

Was it on a 2005 £1?

I have a few of these that I had picked up over the years .Including a nice 2p with a lot of build up on it .Didn't think they would be worth the hassle of trying to sell though.
