Kefiroth Pillar of the Community United States 1431 Posts	Posted 12/24/2014 5:57 pm Like peter said, this one is pretty much scrap. Interesting find out of the junk bin though. I've been looking for one of these for a while (in a better grade of course). I collect UK coinage by type and I always try to go for the first year issues whenever possible. They're few and far between in collectible grade on ebay. Edited by Kefiroth 12/24/2014 5:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 12/25/2014 02:38 am I appreciate that the original coin would be sterling silver. When I made my comment above I was viewing on my home computer which was a small tablet. The image had a rusty tint to it making me wonder if it was a genuine silver coin. Now I am back at work ( bah humbug 25/12 ) the image does not have quite that tint to it. It is still one of the most corroded silver coins I have seen. Report this Post to the Staff
Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 12/25/2014 11:11 am The corroded appearance is a function of the scanning (too much dust on the surface? I did try to wipe off first). It does not look like that in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
