This first one is one of the Bahama Independence coins - it's huge!! about 52mm and 2 oz of silver.

This smaller picture shows the cameo effect better.

This Liberian coin is shown with 2 different lighting methods - What a difference!!

And finally - A neat medal from India for Edwards inauguration I believe (I might be wrong as I don't have any more info on it)

Superb pics, and I agree, the Eddie is cool.

I believe the Edward is a Fantacy piece , they were a set of all the commonwealth in 1936 with different animals for each country. I have one. Those are nice coins

Way to go, Shep

Gorgeous coins, Shep

I really like the ship on the Bahamas piece. What lighting method on the Liberian picked up the cameo?

Great pics

Great Photos and coins!!

What lighting method on the Liberian picked up the cameo?
2 Side lights one is a "white" light and one was a Reveal bulb - the camera is a little Kodak LS443 - seems to work ok.
The camera was directly above the coins.

I hope to some day produce the quality pictures of cosmic and some of the others on this forum!!!

Lovely coins, all of them.

great pics of some awesome pieces. My fave is the India one.

Theboz is correct- that Edward VIII piece is a modern fantasy. I have a proof "1901" Irish "4 shilling pattern" with the old head of Victoria on it- it's obviously another modern fantasy like your Eddie 8th, there. But I liked it enough that I bought it anyway.
