Yes, I am aware what was meant by "here". Some people believe it or not collect and frequent both. I have 100s of world coins dozens of which I have posted about "here". Next to Peace dollars my main collecting is world crown sized coins.

And yes, you have been a bleep in the past. My comment here(this thread) wasnt out of nowhere as some think. Though my response wasnt nice, I did and do feel that once the OP decided grading is for him, which clearly it is given his submission and windfall from it (i know its not for everyone in the world sector), then the holder became more important than to say for someone like yourself who prefers raw. Not all of us do. And maybe we are the annoying new collectors who dont know better. Or maybe we were programmed as US collectors. But I for one see every single benefit of TPG grading US coins to exist for world coins as well. Only difference is where they are from. I too like holding some of these old coins in hand and really getting into them. But why handle an uncircualted coin putting it at risk? I usually buy a 2nd raw lower grade example to handle raw. Having cake and eating it.
Life is too short to be looking for reasons to get one’s panties into a bunch.
My comment about the holder vis-a-vis the scratch on the Shilling was not misunderstood by the OP to whom my comment was directed. So my job is done here for now. Work and life beckons.
For those who prefer bunched panties — have at it!
@EVP - appreciate your willingness to let me bounce some ideas off you in the past via PM - thanks for being generous with your experience. LOVE the Anglo-saxon pennies - the Cnut is my favorite. Dibs on that one.
@ACop - not sure what to say. I agree with you about slabbing - I love handling and examining raw coins - but once I just about dropped one I felt irresponsible NOT slabbing them. Also, I recognize my limits and wanted to see if there were problems with the coins that I had missed. I think I was pretty open about sharing my experience and not trying to hide anything. Not sure how you can tell my motives or any one else's from this thread/board.
Bob I made no assertions as to any motives on your part. Back to enjoying your awesome collection of coins of which several are on my wantlist and the marvel of your submission results.
I think you're doing quite well with your education. Keep at it and soon you'll evolve (like we all do) with your collecting. Some will narrow one's theme; others may go for niche collecting, while some others will simply go for fewer but higher quality pieces. Whatever.
Anyway, as a fellow collector, I am happy to see you develop and enjoy yourself.

Hmmm... this thread sort of went off the rails.

Edited to add : What do you think it would grade by the TPG’s ?
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

Great gear EVP - eye appealing run of Anglos. Like!
That Teutonic Order 1/4 thaler is awesome, and superior to my XF45, which is pop. 1/2.
@bidask Hey Dan, looks to me that there was some surface exposure to something corrosive.
8 Reales Madness Collection
Yes I am a little concerned about that however I think I will try to get tombed by NGC hopefully no details.
Otherwise shows underlying luster and a sharp strike.
