The 1911 reverse is F and the obverse is VG, Nice coin.
Don't clean it it will spoil it, nothing wrong with toned coins

Whilst I'm not a huge fan of the darkly toned coins I think it makes a lot of the detail seem more pronounced and isn't all that bad.

Now I want to make sure my 42 is real as I know that heaps of theses are faked by rubbing the letter off, I had a play around with the lighting and zoomed in.
I think it is ok, what do you guys think.

I'm no expert, but it looks kosher to me.

This coin arrived in the mail today.
http://www.australianstamp.com/coin...1999220c.htm
The perfect coin to accompany my threepence set.
It came in a capsule.
I have started to put my threepences in 2x2 to put them in an album. Some already have been put in 2x2 as this is how I got them and obviously leaving the masterpiece one in its capsule.

How do people make the stapled 2x2s staples flat?
I don't really want to plier them as I will probably do more damage than good

I don't both flattening them. If your putting them into album pages then you wont be able to tell much of a difference. Too much hassle for not much gain. Well done with your purchases

Any 1942 threepence is very hard to get!
I spent months looking for one.

You could always get a 'Flat Clinch Stapler'.

I was very lucky to get one from an Australian member.

Actually, I only need 3 more for a complete set..
