KoRnholio Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I overpaid a bit on the Edward VI shilling by a fair bit ($200), but didn't mind since I got good deals on other material from the same dealer, including this Victorian half crown ($35). Finding one with a decent portrait (that doesn't cost a ton) took quite a while as well. Finding nice British hammered coins seems to be getting pretty hard around here, even at the big shows.

Steve D'Ippolito Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Agreed, quite nice. Someone out there still uses 2x2s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pieces! Hammered doesn't even really show up around here in any condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoRnholio Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Thanks guys, I am glad you all like them, as I do. I've begun using mostly PVC-free plastic 2x2 flips with inserts rather than stapled 2x2's. But if a coin comes in a cardboard 2x2 I'll typically leave it as is.

I need to get shocked every time I use the adjective "nice"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Love the look of the half crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Nothing wrong with the Fine Silver issue 1/-. I saw some really nice ones over the weekend but these were £300+ This was always a common hammered of a nice size and quality and demand proves there are not enough to go round. I wonder how many exist? It would be in the thousands so in the face of it rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
