JMAA_Coin New Member United Kingdom 12 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 1:21 pm I would welcome any thoughts on the grade of these two UK pennies. I lean towards fine perhaps but the details are very good in parts and I have very limited experience so am in the process of learning. Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17918 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 1:38 pm I'd say VF for both of these. The 1853 has some minor edge bumps. The 1887 penny looks as though it's been cleaned, although this may be because you've shone a bright light at it when taking the photo.

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 5:50 pm Id give the 1853 at least a VF+ at the lowest, and the 1887 a straight VF. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 5:59 pm EF for the '53 copper, only the slightest wear on the high points, with a nice patina, and VF for the '87 bronze. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 6:49 pm I'll say EF and VF, respectively, and agree a pic with less flashback on the 1887 would help in assessing whether it's been cleaned. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 03/19/2021 12:47 am Almost EF for the 1853, nice coin VF to gVF for 1887, again photos taken from above the centre of the coin are better. Report this Post to the Staff
JMAA_Coin New Member United Kingdom 12 Posts	Posted 03/19/2021 11:05 am Many thanks for the replies. Yes I did shine a light on the second one, trying to highlight the detail but I recognise it does affect the colour. Good tips for my photography moving forward, and I'm hoping it's less challenging with silver coins. Report this Post to the Staff
