Hi Guys n Girls,

The 38 shilling looks like it is an NGC slab, What is the grade on the slab?

The copper's are not fakes, just harshly cleaned/polished.
The NGC of course is genuine and a very nice example.

You should set up a "Gallery" on here to upload pics
Will look much better. :angel:

And welcome to the "Board" :wavemulticolor:

Thank you very much Ford. I would take my words back (if possible) regarding calling the copper fake..

I tried setting up a Gallery, but photos are too big, I will work on them and upload later on..

The 1938 is not cleaned I should have previously said. Then again, if something is professionally graded it doesn't mean it is not cleaned (although pcgs/ngc are generally pretty good at this).

Check out the 1923 halfpenny in the following link.

The Shilling is a $2100 coin and I doubt a fake .
Look up the cert number on the NGC site and you should see the images of your coin.
