Lots of coins came today. Three pennies from the UK. 1920, 1922 and 1926. Even though I only collect types and not dates these were cheap and I never say no to that.
I'll show you just one because I have no idea what causes this surface effect. It makes it difficult to look at the coin, but the thing really is in very good condition what the details are concerned. Any idea what that is? This multitude of fine lines are no scratches, that I can see with my magnifying glass.
By the way, one can see signs of "ghosting" on this coin as well. It doesn't show on the picture though.
Then a New Zealand Shilling in an ok condition. Might buy me a better quality one in the future.
And then, since I am a proud citizen of the Grossherzogtum Hessen Darmstadt, I had to get me at least one of our coins. Here it is.
For those who don't know this already, "Scheidemünze" means that this coin's legal value is higher than its actual metal weight.
That was it for today. The other two pennies you can find in my Georg V Village Collection.
