NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18000 Posts	Posted 12/07/2015 1:18 pm Al, I can understand why you like it! I have fond memories of finding Victorian Veiled Head pennies in change during my childhood. My parents used to refer to them as "Widow of Windsor" pennies! By the late 1960s they were generally worn to about Fair but they seemed to wear much better than the earlier "Bun" pennies.

Alan Cutts Valued Member Australia 292 Posts	Posted 12/07/2015 4:03 pm I would like to grade a lot but there are a few differing shades of grading these days and all it does is create controversy. these coins are all my spares in all the UK Aus Ca USA which I will use later to trade for my US 1 cent etc. but there is nothing to say all of the people joining in the post to have a go at grade, I have a bucketful more for us to play with.
