My first HK-245 (California Modwinter Exposition) medal had reasonable details but lots of discoloration. My upgrade is quite a bit nicer.

I have just upgraded a 1912 halfpenny (probably found in change by myself as an eight-year-old!) with a specimen that cost me a whole 50 pence from a coin shop in Newcastle-upon-Tyne!

an upgrade for my 7070 album - the holed/worn one was a coin my Grandmother gave me way back in the early 1970s (maybe even earlier )

1858 Liberty Seated - ½ Dime
