Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/18/2014 10:10 am Just won these on ebay from MetDet. Got them very cheap, Â£5 and Â£10. I was looking for 2 things, 28mm and a nice eagle. The Â£5 one is <26mm but has a nice eagle. The Â£10 one is over 28mm, but a bit rough. The eagle is nice though. Might polish the fields of that one to highlight the devices. That would also even up some of the texture. Report this Post to the Staff

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 05/18/2014 11:53 am Very nice. That almost looks like some spots of bronze disease? Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/18/2014 12:00 pm Yes, I'm not sure what it is. If its powdery, then its a good indicator of a high silver content (Silver Chloride being very light blue, Copper Chloride being the familiar green). Whatever it is, its coming off when I get it.

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 05/18/2014 12:03 pm Id be happy with these coins. I still don't own a single tet in my collection. Very nice finds. Those are some great looking eagles. Report this Post to the Staff

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 05/18/2014 1:07 pm I think that these have a high silver content, you could probably get away with classing one of them as silver, as they do the pre 47 British stuff. More tets coming next week for those that missed this group. Check your email Ben, sent a pic through of the Carausius. You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys.....
