elverno Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 1805 Death of Lord Nelson, Great Britain. 38mm Bramsen 2196 BHM 582 d'Essling 1092 Milan 479 Actually this is more of an example of what a hopeless bonehead I am. The back of the flip indicates that I purchased this almost exactly 7 years ago. I was hunting through a couple of my "unclassified" boxes in the office. These are boxes I put new purchases and candidates for re-photographing into and eventually get around to putting on my site. Obviously this one fell through a multitude of cracks for a long time! It's a decent example that may have once been silvered although the white residue could just as easily be some cleanser that someone took to it in its past. There's another piece I own that shares the same reverse: 1805 Death of Lord Nelson, Great Britain. 38mm Bramsen 439 BHM 581 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I actually like the second reverse more, I think. Gives it more character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I actually like the second reverse more, I think. Gives it more character. As a collector of Roman coinage I must respectfully disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I like both medals, but if I had to pick only one...I believe the second is silver.....so that is my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
