Thnks for that.

this is a threepence that I have posted a pic of in another thread and I can't find the thread
anyways, a friend of mine & a fellow collector has been working really hard on being able to take coin photos as good as Markn

my friend took this photos yesterday through a PCGS and I reckon they are fantastic photos
before he took the pics, I was going to sell it
now I am back in love!
the printed photo looks even more beautiful as they are a lot more crisp

What grade is it Robbie?

PCGS had MS63 on it
my coin dealer reckoned to day after looking at the coin and the photos that by Australian standards it is Choice

I reckon that is one of the coolest dragons that I have ever seen on coinage

Lovely lovely threepence Robbie the blues are gorgeous. I'd easily be in love with that one too.

much appreciated Steve
all lovely coins

the tip of the star on the 65 is much more pointed isn't it?
