    Are any of those dates particularly rare?

    The VF 1883 25c has nice eye appeal. Almost CirCam like.

    Congrats!!

    That's one series that I've always been drawn to in Canadian coinage - the 50 Cent of George VI. Great coins and images, Don image

    Not happy with the Swiss grades. The 5F was an MS64 resubmitted, what a waste. The 1964 5R+1OR are gifts by 3Mark, the 10R specifically should have graded MS68 IMO.

    The German proof half mark is from Berlin and the mark from NYINC, a Karl Stephens coin.


    Thank you Don for submitting them.

    1906 PR64CA - Gorgeous, Dimitri! Sorry about the 5F and 10R image If it makes you feel any better - I think the 10R is way undergraded, as well. Very clean surfaces on that one.

    Dimitri:

    FWIW, the twins to the Swiss 5&10 rappen, graded 67&68 at NGC. I liked them because of the nice color on copper nickelimage What did Karl grade the one mark?

    Roman, thanks , I'm just having a bad day. The 10R has the most amazing luster I've ever seen on such a coin, not really shown on the photo. Having owned not one, but two MS68s of the type (both from 1931), I stick to my opinion.Besides, it seems that NGC agrees with me, ,right Larry?image

    L.,I can't find Karl's flip of the 1908-D mark, I probably sent it to Don. I think he graded it 64 (lovely sharp bu) but I could be wrong. The half mark is from Dirk. I hope that you like it cause it's yours now. image

    They KO'd the 10Rp for the stacking friction on the cheek, plus the two ticks. They also clobbered my 20Rps on my last submit. Funny thing, they graded one a 65 which was a total twin to one they graded a year earlier as a 67.image

    The 5Rp is very nice, but they prolly left it in a 66 because of the weaker obv. legends, IMO.

    The Ed. VII is undergraded by a point...
  • HussuloHussulo Posts: 2,953 ✭✭✭
    Like the colour of the 1/2 Marc and regardless of the grade the 10Rp looks very special. I also really like the Vicky 1d.
    Congrats D.

    Some gorgeous coins & photos, and a few brutal grades... Dimitri's coppers could easily be 64's
    And Ajaan's coins all look to be under graded except for the vf25 piece...
    Maybe the pictures are too good?

    That's an excellent question. There have been a few times that TrueView pictures made the item look more colorful and attractive than it really was. Not in this case though. TrueView almost always concentates on colour and detail, showing less luster than there really is on a toned coin. The reason that the Victorian halfpenny graded 63 is the few carbon spots on the reverse, I remember having this discussion with gmarguli at the show. It has nevertheless great luster and immediate eye appeal and the spots are really not the first thing one would notice. I have no opinion on ajaan's coins or even the Eddie VII penny, which is an attractive coin and I guess that it should now be considered PQ for its grade.

    Now for the rest of the story. The two Canadian 50c coins, 1941 and 1943 were almost identically toned. Both graded MS60 by ICCS. As an experiment, I gave the 1941 coin a very quick 'dip' before submission image and left the 1943 coin as is. You can draw your own conclusions.

    I wouldn't have been able to detect carbon spoting on the Victoria Halfpenny
    from that picture, I see some darkish areas but they just look darker brown.
    They are all very nice coins - And ajaan; conclusion drawn image

    This Penny had a light dusting of dirt when received. Submitted after a quick bath in MS70. NGC called it 65.
