Just a couple of nice coins of mine...

Not the greatest photos and they are in 2x2 stapled holders. I consider them to be AU.

    Thanks for the comments. The coins are actually not quite that dark in hand. I could not get the lighting correct.
    The plastic on the 2x2's always gives me fits!

    I'm going to have to indict you on charges of serious undergrading!!! And blinding people! The coins are marvelous, and I especially like the toning on the half penny.

    Great boats Wayne! They must be commemorating the time when the English took over the Cape. I find copper particularly hard to photograph or scan and I know the feeling of not having shown the piece off as well as it should. Having said that "ouch! my eyes! I'll sue for surprise blinding..." image

    Those are nice and I would agree they are more like MS62s than AUs to me.

    And people still ask me why I like copper so much.......

    Beautiful coins and you grade as conservatively as I do.....

    If you ever decide to sell those lovely S. Afr. coins, I'd be glad to give them a good home image
