Hi,
March 1st is Wales' Saint's day (St David). This year it is a bit odd as Wednesday is also "Ash Wednesday".
There is an ordnance that Saints days can not be celebrated on Ash Wednesday.
So:-
Catholic Church St D. 28 Feb
The rest of us St D. 1st Mar
Church of Wales St D. 2nd Mar
Forget the wrangling lets look at a coin.
1793 DH North Wales 2C.
The first Conder I have posted here - I only have a few.
This coin was a sod to photograph, still have not caught the lustre -
any advice from C.D.. Mc..Cond..Wy.. Etc, gratefully received..

Nice bit of history on Saint's day too.
How did you shoot the edge? Beveled mirror set-up?

Yip,
Mag-lite, bevelled reflector. I am trying to get good pics of tin farthing edges. The lighting is great fun!
