28Plain Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Ended. 1985 British Virgin Islands proof $20 (crown sized) with some very cool irridescent (or opalescent) green toning on the fields around QEII's portrait. The coloring of the toning is like dichroic glass, largely brilliant metallic green, but with flecks of purple and blue visible when the angle of view is changed. The obverse has an image of a jeweled lady's ring with no discernible toning. Guess the reverse was in contact with the paper of a flatpack for 20 years. That's how these were shipped, on a flat card with film covering the obverse and the reverse hidden. Winner pays $1 domestic postage, or $2 int'l airmail. Ends 11/15 7pm EST Addendum: KM# 51 20 dollars weight 19.0900 g. composition 0.9250 Silver 0.5678 oz. ASW Obverse similar to KM# 48 Reverse Emerald and gold ring Thanks to Erik for the lookup.

Trantor_3 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 The obverse has an image of a jeweled lady's ring with no discernible toning. one larger, square stone surrounded by 6 smaller square stones on the ring? A shell at the top? "TWENTY" above the ring and "DOLLARS" below the ring? Start it at whatever, I don't know what these are worth, or whether it's silver or not. Look it up and see what it is, if you have the book, I have only the 19th century Krause. If it's the one I think it is, then it's KM# 51 20 dollars weight 19.0900 g. composition 0.9250 Silver 0.5678 oz. ASW Obverse similar to KM# 48 Reverse Emerald and gold ring Mintage : not listed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
