Ian Posted April 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I really like the rev on this one. It is an interesting coin. The flags and the cameos are incused, as if they had been counterstamped. It's like seeing a modern day George III counterstamped pillar dollar (head of a fool on the neck of an ass type) .

Tiffibunny Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 That's a beauty for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I'm struck by the quality of the bust of QE on the obverse. Too often, her portraits seem flat and unattractive (imho). Either good photography or a quality strike (or both) make this a nice coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could say that it is because it is one of my better executed scans of a nicely struck coin, but honesty winning out I think that it is due to the matt finish on the coin. It does make the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
