Two more NEWPs.

Visited a small coin show in Toronto today. A lot of dealers didn't show-up for a Sunday show, but I was still able to pick-up a couple of coins. How did I do?

Philippines 1 Peso (XF45 or AU, what do you guys think? Luster remaining, which was hopefully captured in the photo:


And a neat bronze 4 Centesimos from Uruguay (looks to have been treated with Blue Ribbon, has that light "oily" feel):

Yes.

Both cool pickups.

(If there is luster on the Philippine piece that we don't see in your pic, then I suppose AU50 is not out of the question. Either way, XF45 to AU50 sounds about right.)

45 is a certainty and 50 is possible if the lustre is apparent in the right places... lustre has to extend beyond protected areas

Beautiful coins--really like the 4 c piece. Reminds me of some of the Netherland pieces

Thanks, everyone.

Coinkat, I've re-imaged the Peso using only a single bulb to bring-out the luster (as well as put it against the black background to increase contrast). I think black looks better for light coins with luster...

I dig that Uruguay coin.

Prithee, Sirrah, dost thou know that thou sucketh?

Black is good for any silver or cop-nic coin...

Both great looking coins. Its amazing how the black background brings out the detail in Alfonso's hair more.

I also decreased the amount of light for the second picture in order to create more shadows, thus giving it a bit more depth.

Thanks for compliments, everyone.
