perfection, love the blue-green-red-purple toning. Thumbs up!
Wrap them in tissue paper and wait. Are you in a hurry? Do you have 125 years?

Just wait........some idiot will say that that coin was cleaned with MS70. Just wait.
OINK
It wasn't not not cleaned with MS70.

Wow, what a knockout!
Nice old cent. I had many of those I was saving when I lived in Barbados. All were neatly kept in a storage box.... Then someone broke in while I was away and took the entire box... and another filled with British copper I was saving until I could get a book to check on details. All went.... And so began my personal security journey. One further attempt was made about a year later.... his hand was useless after that. Cheers, RickO
Gorgeous cent. I have always been interested in 19th century European coppers.

FWIW, I don't think they use MS70 across the pond. It's probably something called "Smythe & McGillywhistle's Numismatic Anointing Cream", by appointment to her royal highness ... etc, etc.
Now there's a pretty penny. And, for once, yes... really a penny! No "cent" here!
Here's an English penny that's a wee bit older, and thinner, and struck in a different metal, but still with some nice toning.

What, you wanted a bronze Vickie? OK, here.
Little bit older Vickie, 'tis true, and not as nicely toned as the OP, but this one was a real blazer in hand.
@Smittys - I saw your George V pennies over on the Darkside. You doin' Brit big pennies these days? I can certainly think of worse things to acquire. I've always loved 'em.
