    I was worried it was gonna be one of those ones with the colourful speckled tones that some US members go nuts over that look like they been dropped in an oil slick, but i opened up to see a coin that looks alot like the one i used to have, so i likes it! image

    I always had a soft spot for the Jubilee head crowns, well jubilee head stuff in general really.

    1887 date set hey?

    I had a near complete set once upon a time, only missing the sovereign and the Roman I Double Florin.

    Have you got one of the Double Florins, they truely are a coin to behold, the concave obverse field is a wonder makes the design look really swish.

    Looks good, but I'd really like to see your pics when you get the coin "in hand" image

    I like the picture... I have a good feeling about this one.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
