greeniejim Valued Member Ireland 215 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 2:53 pm Just Thought I would Share some with you, The 1970 was from a "LAST LSD ISSUE" I think it was issued about about 1973 or possibly later. Report this Post to the Staff
greeniejim Valued Member Ireland 215 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 3:05 pm This one is a little curio I thoought I would share, SPINK 3659 "Dump Issue", but it appears to have E over R errors on both "GEOR and REX", and it is the no stop on OB variety, this is one of my favourite coins in my collection, I was frading it at VF and would be curious what others may think on GRADE?

greeniejim Valued Member Ireland 215 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 3:10 pm Then to finish..These two were bought recently, the 1891 for £27 and the 1902 for £45 The condition of the 1891 is much better than the pics suggest, does anyone know how to remove the "Blackness" without devaluing. Only 256,020 of these minted, so I think I got a bargin with it. Report this Post to the Staff

greeniejim Valued Member Ireland 215 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 3:16 pm I cant say I have ever heard if the silver foil and spit method! please enlighten me? Report this Post to the Staff
Monkeybean Valued Member United Kingdom 300 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 3:46 pm Spit on the foil and rub the coin , it cleans silver coins only . No damage , no need to rub them too hard , or just spit on the foil , wrap the coin in it , wait a minute or so then wipe clean with a tissue or cloth . If its working you'll hear it working and smell sulphur . Report this Post to the Staff

MartiVltori Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 10:06 pm Fell in love with a Sovereign of my birth year at a coin show today. It came home with me. Report this Post to the Staff
ThomasJefferson Valued Member United States 130 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 10:40 pm Monkeybean, The aluminum foil method you described breathed new life in to one of my coins that had tarnished in an unappealing way. Best of all there is no evidence of cleaning and indeed I could hear it working. =) Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

If its working you'll hear it working and smell sulphur. I posted about this on the US forum and got told in no uncertain terms it would devalue the coin. It certainly works on silver coins with no lustre left at all, but I wouldn't try it on coins with some remaining. I've used it on almost blue silver bars before. Report this Post to the Staff
Tim Bowden Valued Member Australia 112 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 11:58 am Hi, The first English coin I have (deliberately) bought, mainly for research purposes, given its significance to Australian coinage history. It may well be my new favorite coin! I have this at VF, perhaps a touch better - anyone care to pass an opinion as to grade? Aside from the sheer weight and size of this coin, I was surprised to find the reverse around 180 degrees rotated, when compared to obverse. (effectively upside-down). I have reasoned that this is probably not uncommon, given the period, however with little experience in this era I would appreciate feedback, both on the rotation, and on the grade. Happy collecting!
