SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 01/10/2015 4:52 pm As someone raised in Nova Scotia, I honestly can say I am not a fan of the blue and orange colours in the background of your photos... they speak nothing of the colours (e.g., flag or tartan) of Nova Scotia. Are you secretly celebrating the Oilers win over the Blackhawks last night? That said - the coin photos are fantastic!!

SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 01/10/2015 5:43 pm Blue for ocean, yellow for sun or sand, about right. Flag is Cross of St. Andrews is blue on white with yellow and red crest. NS tarten is blue with yellow and green. This bluenoser approves. Both backgrounds, with all due respect. Agree with you about the coins Cheers Don Edited by SilverDon 01/10/2015 5:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 01/11/2015 1:06 pm I agree with you on the first coin as being a GR-801, XF GR. Rarity 3. The second one I have pegged as a GR-803, VF GR. Rarity 3. The third one as a GR-804, AU GR. Rarity 5 with a complete doubled legend and a small rose bud. And your last coin as a GR-806E, XF GR. Rarity 4 as Griffin only mentions one coin with a doubled 86. Great pictures Don thanks for sharing Report this Post to the Staff

fourmack Pillar of the Community New Zealand 1679 Posts	Posted 01/11/2015 6:13 pm What is the key markings to look for on these 2 coins? cheers Don Cheers Don Vickies cents and GB Farthings nut. "Old" is a figure of speech and nothing more Report this Post to the Staff
papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 01/11/2015 6:42 pm Don the 1861 Griffins comments; 8 and 6 wider, 6 and 1 closer. The left side of the foot of the one turns downward. The B of Britt is re-punched, slanting left. There is a die break at the R in Victoria, although this coin has the die break at the R it is very small and hard to see. The 1864 Griffins comments; The 6 is re-punched, the 6-4 extremely wide a far 4 variety I went mainly by the picture in the book there was not much to go by with this coin.
