    PS Those are die prep lines and NOT hairlines in the fields.

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    MS-65.

    Is the white balance correct in the photo? Is this really a “yellow coin?”

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    I got this in a London Auction and it was previewed by the absolute best and brightest in London (principles at Sovereign Rarities and Baldwin's).This coin was BODYBAGGED for hairlines. I will be a monkey's uncle if there are any - and I could not see in all sorts of light and magnification to 30x. Honestly, it does make one wonder, and I want to throw a technical.

    Those are the PCGS pictures of the coin and IMO is boosted a bit to the yellow.

    PS - this date/overdate is excessively rare nicely preserved.

    Nice coin. I'll have me some of those hairlines if you want to get rid of it.

    It's an occupational hazard. I picked up a superb George I 1/- that had been bodybagged for the same reason. Maybe someone needs to amend the rulebook with a note to the effect that raised lines in the field are on the die. Good for buyers, not so good for submitters ;)

    Ah, thanks. No, I have a date set and the nicest I have seen by a bit.

    To be honest, I was shocked by the BB. That is ridiculous and the opinion has been seconded by some very highly placed experts in London.
    I had showed the DC 1839 Halfcrowns on these pages too. I really had thought about resubmitting both, but really, why? I def. would like side by side comparos on these two coins....
