A little late with this, realize it's a "modern" coin by forum standards and the photography is less than great.
Still...
I wanted to share it because I cherry picked it out of a tray full-15 or 20 beautifully toned Victoria 3ds-about 25 years ago at a World Coin show in Chicatgo about 25 years ago. It originally came back from PCGS as an MS 66 but it pulled MS 67 on the re-submit--one of the very few I've had much luck with.
No,no- the kids and the cat are all right honey. It's just that I got my PCGS grades.
My latest - arrived today enclosed in a NGC 58 BN suit. The token has more red around the devices and lettering than my 2.5 megapixel camera can ever show.
Middlesex Hall's advertising penny - D&H #26 It features Sir Jeffery Dunstan, mayor of Garrat - a knock-kneed dwarf and an interesting character to read about on the web. Thomas Hall was a taxidermist and curiosity dealer who operated his shop at 10 City Road near Finsbury Square.

According to the note under the medal the engraver was John Pingo. Both his father Thomas Pingo and brother Lewis Pingo were Assistant Engravers at the Royal Mint. All three were noted medallists.

Brown lists "T. Pingo" for BHM 6 but there is detail in Eimer's work "The Pingo Family & Medal Making in 18th Century Britain" that points to John Pingo as the designer and recipient of the Royal Society of Arts award for this medal. The Pingo's were a multi-generational family of engravers along the lines of the Wyons.
Here's another by Lewis Pingo with George a bit jowlier.
Florins are my favs, Reveries. Those Can. were very nice, though. That '72 Newfy might have been cleaned a bit much, but impossible to really tell circ. pieces by images. The 25c is definitely a standout, and the colours on the dollar look fine.....Canadacolornut will probably be attempting to extract all of those from you....beware!!!!!
Thanks. Artifact, ryarm. Mark shot it in the plastique. Shot below is the TrueView image (I forgot about it). This is the Terner II coin.
MacCrimmon: The gold Victoria piece is stunning. Florins have become my favorite coins to collect at this time. William Wyon's design is perhaps the most beautiful portrait ever designed for a coin.
Very nice farthing AZ. Here are a couple of new florins I just got in (1935 and 1937), nothing special just needed them for my type set. I do like the dark golden brown toning on the Geo. V, though I know a lot of people don't.

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
<< <i>Nice farthing Mac, what's the grade? >>
What is a grade?
Thanks. It's presently raw, or bare nekkid. I think it should grade MS65BN (really bluish-brown) in CA, and maybe 66BN on Florida's Sun Coast.
At first I thought the mark along the top might be post mint damage, but looked up other examples and found the same die crack.
Great coins, folks......

Here's an old OBW roll of 1773 Farthings I found...
he he .... just having a bit of fun. Sorry folks!
Some new posts of some Darkside material.
What grade do you think PCGS gave this Darkside coin? NFLD coins exhibit some really wonderful toning - specifically the reverse.
Now this coin was graded as a MS65 by PCGS. Brian Cornwall from ICCS fame suggested that it was a MS66 according to the Norweb report.
.......and, where have I seen that tanner before?
Nice pair, now show us the rest of the rolls........please!!!
Nice G4 farthing AZL. That design is so medallic in it's relief.
Yarm, that last Pingo is unreal.
CCN, you seem to really like nice coloured coins. Good show.
Here's my favorite Victorian £2.

I guess Canada is not close enough. Here is a 1878 Florin.

If Rev is interested in selling the '39 maybe send me a message.
Thanks

Mac that is one gorgeous piece of gold, for a big piece of gold it shows few marks.
Here is a farthing I won raw at the last goldberg sale. Just came back from NGC as MS64RB, I'm pleased.

Not a newp but recently graded. Guess the grade (no cheating).
