sidney Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 It's getting hard finding high grade coins, and especially UNC ones. This will do for now.

Art1.2 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Another very nice coin. AU coins often are more attractive then some of their unc cousins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidney Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Latest raw piece, SS Kg Edward V 1904 $1 to my collection. Photographing it was rather hard trying to capture its brilliance with my Olympus camera and macro lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidney Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 If it was gold, i'd be richer. Kg George V 1932 1/2 cent bronze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidney Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Latest addition, a Kg Edward V 1908 1 cent raw specimen. BU condition. Coin shows slight oxidation shades and marks from poor handling otherwise superb. Handling of bronze or copper coins are very crucial. One should not attempt to clean them especially the high grade to UNC coins, it will may only makes it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I love a raw, red, UNC copper. Awesome pics and great coin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I wonder what the record is for # of languages on a coin That question is going to bother me until someone comes up with an answer. The most I can come up with off the top of my head is five on a technicality -- the Swiss franc is in Latin, and the 'Fr' abbreviation is correct in all four official languages. I suppose it's two languages, but one of them could be any of four. The most I can think of off the top of my head is the British empire/commonwealth era Hong Kong dollar, with the obverse inscription in Latin, and the reverse in English and Chinese, but I have no expectation of that standing up. The Alabama SHQ also has three languages: English, Latin and Braille. Meanwhile, these Straits coins just get better and better. I definitely want a Straits dollar in my collection now.

sidney Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 SS Kg Edward 1903 Raised "B" Silver Dollar, slabbed AU58 by NGC 3258114-074 added. This makes room for me to release off one of my AU53 coin as I up grade my collection. Still on a look out for a MS slab piece. Coin is excellent in BU conditions with high brilliance. If not for the wear off around the ear areas, it will make for a MS grade. Denomination : 1 DollarYear : 1903Variety : Raised "B"Composition : Silver .900 fineMintage : Unknown (Included together the "Incuse B" totaling 15,009,891 pieces)Graded : AU58 - Currently 12 pieces in record graded by NGC at AU58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidney Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Well, it's been a while since I've added any coins to this post. I've been about picking. While high grade raw coins are getting hard to find, slabbed coins are sky rocketing. Here's one just gotten recently VF+ only.
