Just went through some of my coppers.
What do you think these will grade at.

Not up with the Sheldon scale, but IMHO the 63 halfpenny looks cleaned, and the 59 Perth penny looks UNC. Just love the 58 Perth penny, lots of doubling going on, and CHU for me.
Yeah I'd say the 63 1/2p has been whizzed and the other 2 might go MS63
I will agree with ac and Stevo the 63 has been cleaned with some chemical that is causing the toning around the date. In terms of the 59 it is a lock MS62 with the attractive toning maybe pushing it up to a 62+ or a 63. In terms of the 58 I agree with ac that the doubling is nice however I see a few too many marks of a significant nature on the reverse for a MS63 so I will put it as a MS62. However the reverse is rather nicer and would be a MS63 any day. So overall I would put the coin at MS62.
I had a good look at the 1/2d under the usb Gizmo, I recon Brasso is the culprit .
I can see the minute hairlines under magnification.

Sucks, don't it?
Still, I'd give ya a penny for it.. double face value's not bad for a cleaned coin, right? :angel::angel::angel:
Nice pics Trout, is that a lump between K.G. and Roos' tail on the 58.?
agree Robster
there seems to be about 3 little blobs
still a FANTASTIC coin but alas I fear it will become a pcgs slabbed coin ...... spots should hold up ok
What are your thoughts on this one?
Not my coin, I will be sending this to PCGS for a good Friend .

Obverse looks MS62/63 to me but the reverse may be of questionable colour
A very good strike. A few rim contacts and maybe some minor contacts in the fields. Also noticed the high points of the Kings regalia, his mustache and brow just touched off. I'm thinking anywhere from gEF to au, or AU55 TO 58?
'nice
but I reckon they'd (PCGS) would slap an environmental damage order on the coin
Thanks for the opinions you Guys :yahoo:
I had a good look at the 1923 penny "In Hand" and am calling it an AU58.
The 1963 1/2 penny is now in the "Junk coppers box", Unless McDuck still wants it .
The 1958 penny will make MS64 red
The 1959 penny will make MS64RB
If I am wrong I will probably have to eat some Afghans undies :angel: :dash1:
I wont find out for at least another 6-8 weeks , But I will post the results on this thread :ok:
Yes that will be very interesting indeed :friends:
