zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 05/24/2014 6:35 pm I own a certified 1857 20 Lire but I wouldn't say I'm familiar with these. I would probably grade EF-40 (Cleaned?). I guess you'll get more accurate opinion if you provide better pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
jhp2104 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 05/24/2014 6:51 pm @zxcccxz Thank you again for answering this, as well as numerous other of my questions. I am in the process of obtaining a real camera (compared to cell phone & tablet cameras), so I should be able to post better images in the near future. Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 05/26/2014 05:53 am if you go to the Coin Photography Sub-form, you'll get heaps of tips. Is the coin still in a holder ? The only discolouration that I can see on the obverse, looks more like reflected glare from a holder of some description. Your coin is from an interesting point in history: Napoleon abdicated on 11 April 1814. Report this Post to the Staff
jhp2104 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 05/27/2014 10:23 pm @ Peter Thomas Thank you. Per your advice I just spent some time in the photo sub-form - I've got quite a lot to learn. The coin is in a plastic mylar saflip flap. I am hoping to get better images up soon. I had forgotten Napoleon adbicated in 1814 (its been a few years since History class).
