Picked up a pile of old copper for a stiff price. I'll start with this HK cent. This is a scan.

From what I can see darkened Fine (British grading). Most of crown band visible, Victoria's dress partially detailed, significant wear on the hair and her head.

The other side shows much heavier wear on the top half of the coin. The lettering and Chinese lettering is almost flat there but quite sharp and clear in bottom half. This suggestes people may have been pressing their thumbs on the top/central part of this coin. This side is likely concave whilst the Queen side is convex, hence the heavier wear

Overall not a bad piece.
