Hi all .. well the next group of World coins have just received there grading and here they are .. no pictures of the conserved coins .. should be here in a couple of weeks .. what do you think  1901 CYPRUS 9P VF 35 .. was sure this one would not grade and needed a clean before it went of to a new home  1738 IHL GERMANY HAMBURG 8S VF 35 .. seemed in good enough condition to grade under all the muck  1895A FRANCE 50C AU 58 .. I have to say a much better grade than I was expecting with this one .. bet it is much better now it has been conserved  1887A FRANCE FRANC AU 58 .. not going to complain about that grade eh!  1888A FRANCE FRANC AU 55 !!.. I cannot for the life of me see why this coin got a lower grade than the 1887 ?  1894H SARAWAK CENT MS 62 BN For a bottom feeder like me .. chuffed with the grade on this .. looked good in the hand to me but not that good.  1799SOHO G.BRITAIN 1/2P MS 62 BN .. I was that sure this one would not grade so I did not tick the Variety + box on it .. shame when it got a good grade eh! And my only fail of the submition  (UNDATED) AUSTRALIA KM-TN188 R. PARKER PENNY AU DETAILS ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE Bet it still looks a lot better now. |

I can see why you doubted the appeal of the 1799 ha'penny.
The Geelong token is very nice. Geelong is the second-largest city in Victoria, and has won the football premiership in three of the last five seasons. Last time I was there, I went to an antique fair, and they had a lot of good items (ie., I spent too much).

Hi thanks for the comment .. it was the green spots on the 1799 which made me think it would get boddybaged

The 1887 IMHO is a better than the 1888, check above the ear, but I see your point. Some really nice coins!!
Not to deride any of these, is NCG loosening their standards?
