I am one coin short of finishing my pre-decimal Jersey copper set - I need the 1851 1/26th shilling. I have been looking for close to a year for this coin... every time I find one, it looks like this:

ARRGH!!!!

    But, once done, then, what do you turn to to fill that need of having a goal to aim for? A new collecting direction? Do you sell the completed set? Plan for the future. The thrill of the hunt requires that there always be prey to stalk!

    Do you think there is just the slightest possibility that the coin has been cleaned/polished?imageimageimage
