A DARKHORSE PRODUCTION of a very difficult coin to image, and it's "spot on". It's colour sort of puts me in mind of the stone at the York Minster. image

and, it's been revamped with the Printz Blue background.

    Not one of the better pieces in your BU roll.

    This one was one of a small group which were already slabbedimage

    Since most just couldn't be captured in the slab (at least by me), I sent them in for Phil to image at PCGS. I took the liberty to cut away the PCGS background/watermark for the larger images, and replace with this 'midnight blue' type color.

    This is one of four gothic florins in my wee group, and yes, it's barely OK.....I may even send it in for an upgrade, or at least use it for 'grade justification'.imageimage

    Wybrit, the Big Cheese in Mayfair has the roll of these.....I snuck this one out whilst he was gorging himself on the King's leftovers one night....image

    That's a nice looking florin!

    However, I was expecting an Austrian coin which shows where my affections lie.image

    Great coin and great thread!

    It sure is difficult to find nice pieces like that.

    I sent this one to Bill so that he coold do the coin justice. Not bad for being in a PCGS MS63 holder. imho. I've tried for a long time image the coin and finally threw in the towel.

    Nice colours on that Godless, Kahuna. The ruler did a nice job bringing them out. I love that subtle plum/wine on Vic's bust, and the deeper green hues on the reverse.

    I simply could not image this '53 in the shell, so image to the '49 and Prius Bill for bringing her to life.image
