Well someone has been busy, I like all of those designs.

I think bored not busy would be more accurate LOL.

I really like the Queen Victoria Style coins.

I only got the 10 lire because of the value I spent under 100$ on it.

The trade dollar was cheap too so I figured id add it to my Straits set and sell it later if I don't like it.

The 1929 10 Lire looks cleaned to me, but it could just be the pictures.

Is it the **FERT** or *FERT* edge variety?

The 1929 is a more difficult date of that design, but the *FERT* edge variety has a far higher book value.

I like the Strait Settlements Dollar- looks nice

Very nice selection.

The Italian has definitely been (harshly) cleaned as seen in hairlines on obverse. Great design in a modern coin.

The 1877 (from image) seems to have been brushed as well.

Good luck with submission.

Nice stuff. Like those rupees. I agree that the Italian coin looks cleaned- rather heavily polished, in fact- but that's a great design.

That Straits 1/2 cent is very nice - that's an attractive design (even if Victoria looks angry), and a hard one to find in problem-free grades above F or so. The first 1877 rupee is also an attractive coin, and shows a slight die clash on the reverse. Good pick ups!
