British coins Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Top grade 1901 halfcrown with superior toning of gold, green, purple. One of my best finds in 2018 from British auction houses. PocketArt 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JKK Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I'm told that understatement and restraint are traditional British (or English, anyway) virtues and that 'not bad' amounts to effusive praise, with any more adjectives amounting to troweling it on. That coin is very not bad. British coins 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for all the comments I love your guys input x When it comes to rhyming slang, Bob not only is not our uncle, he's not even a distaff cousin twice removed. We never get it right. We do mutter well enough, though. I'll have to remember to replace effusive words with "ummm" going forward. Please by all means post any more truly ummm pieces you may find.

PocketArt Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 All in good fun @British coins, I truly enjoy British, and Canadian coins at a very close 2nd to U.S. coinage. At times though I like them more... Here is a sampling of some purchases a few years ago through auction. British coins 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JKK Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Wow, PocketArt, those are quite ummm. We see so many vintage coins in worn condition, it's a rare treat to get a good look at all the detail the designer meant us to see. PocketArt 1 Link to post Share on other sites
British coins Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 nice coins pocket, is that 1887 shilling Proof ? 1902 crown is very nice good year to collect. yes I probably will get it slabbed PocketArt 1 Link to post Share on other sites
PocketArt Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 @British coins, yes the 1887 is a proof strike. Deep mirrors with cameo devices. Also, the group of 4 coins are Maundy money- 1877. Beautiful toning on those IMO. That half crown of yours would look great slabbed. Keep us posted on grade please. British coins 1 Link to post Share on other sites

British coins Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Just out of interest I was wondering what you guys feels towards grade of the coin anyone think its above MS 65? Link to post Share on other sites
Just Bob Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 It is impossible to grade accurately from pictures, but I don't think that one would grade over MS 65 British coins 1 Link to post Share on other sites
coinsandmedals Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 That is a stunning coin! The toning really adds to it. If I had to hazard a guess I would say MS-64 if submitted through NGC. British coins 1 Link to post Share on other sites
