Guest Stujoe Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 The Sixpence. Even though it is older, it is much more modern looking which appeals to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 The 6 pence. While I find the design of the 2 Kreuzer more appealing, the tone the 6p tipped it for me. Very nice coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ætheling Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Charlie boy looks better in copper. Does not! The nicest Chas II coins i've ever seen were tin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I've looked at a few tinnies at the Midland Coin Fair. I would be very worried about Tin worm so I haven't pursued the subject. Have a look at a nice Charlie 1/2d struck on good copper...heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 It's Charles for me. By the way, is it just me, or is one side of the Salzburg coin (the one depicted on the right) upside down?

Have a look at a nice Charlie 1/2d struck on good copper...heaven Tin worm? This is new on me. Do you just mean tin corrosion, or an actual parasite? I did have a very nice tin farthing once upon a time. The edge was very corroded, but the portrait was easily VF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Google Tin worm...its usually used in the auto trade to denote a rusting car. Watching a prized tin farthing rust away.... no thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
