It must just about be Saturday somewhere in the world, so here is my latest addition. A Booker T. Washington half dollar from the U.S.
Many thanks to Goose for this coin.

It is extremely hard to image the pastel colours in these coins.
Lovely coin RG :drooling:

but it is a little stunner in the hand

Now you know why I have a thing for the Maundy coins :angel:

is that a obverse die clash that I am seeing?

I agree with trout, wish a photo could really capture the colours of silver when it is beautifully toned... Here is my contribution for Silver Saturday:

A bit of mucking about with lighting and angles and sometimes you have success

JeffH · August 15, 2015, 02:39:54 PM

What a stunner!
Be careful publishing pictures of such pretty coins trout.
Don't want the RAM getting ideas and trying to duplicate them with a pad printed effort. [They will stop at nothing, you know, if they think it will turn a buck.]

Friday night is almost Saturday, right?

Wow you got the colours working on that florin trout.

I just got my first crown, something Ive waited a long time for. What do you think? Still has a bit of cartwheel lustre, and all detail is sharp. Unfortunately (though I dont mind) the king has extra eyebrows. They are not three little scratches, they are rim marks ---|__|--|__|--|__|---, I guess probably from another crown at the time of minting as the big heavy coins fell together. In any case they match my well-developed mono-brow :-)

Think EF?
