Thank you Scott Stevenson!
How would a neophyte, or maybe a more intermediate type, look at the coins with 8x power magnification and determine the condition?... What web links have that kind of information?... I would be interested in bartering, a swop of some kind for either or both coins! |

For the 1956 English Shilling, here's a similar image of the reverse

Don, Most of the time, you probably don't need magnification for grading coins. Magnification is usually only helpful if a coin is right on the edge between a couple of grades, and you need to look at it more closely, or if you think a coin might be a "variety". For example: Say that I've got a coin that I think is Uncirculated, but it might have the tiniest trace of wear on the high points of the design. If it has wear, it's not Uncirculated, so I might use a magnifier to look more closely at the high points of the coin. US coins used to have the mintmarks punched in by hand, and sometimes the punches wouldn't exactly line up, so there would be a double image of the mintmark on the coin. You might have to look at the mintmark with magnification to see that. The basic order of grades, from best to worst, is: Uncirculated Extremely Fine (EF) Very Fine (VF) Fine (F) Very Good (VG) Good (G) Fair Poor In the US, we have an additional grade of "About Uncirculated", which fits between Uncirculated and Extremely Fine, and "About Good", which fits between Good and Fair The subject of grading gets very complicated, very quickly :-) The US grading system is a little different from what is used in most of the world. In addition to the common "word descriptions", most US collectors and dealers use a 70 point scale, with "70" being an absolutely perfect coin with no wear, and no nicks or marks on it, and "1" being basically a slick metal disc that you can identify. Most of the rest of the world uses just the "word descriptions", although they might also use a modifier. For example, a coin that is in much better shape than the typical "Very Fine" coin, but one that isn't good enough to be graded "Extremely Fine" might be graded in the UK as a "good Very Fine", while in the US it might be called "VF-35". It's also tougher because each design of coin wears differently, so unless you're talking about a specific coin, descriptions of what makes a certain grade have to be pretty general. I've always thought that a good way to start is with your pocket change. Take the coins of one denomination, and put them in order of wear from the least worn to the most worn. Then take one of the grading guides (I'd probably use Tony's) and try to match them up with the descriptions What web links have that kind of information?... Tony's got a description of grades at http://www.tclayton.demon.co.uk/coins.html#grade For US coins (this will also help you see how coins are graded differently in different countries), PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) has grading descriptions at http://www.pcgs.com/prices/howtouse.chtml You can also go to http://www.predecimal.com/coingrading.htm, which has some pictures of coins in the various grades. I would be interested in bartering, a swop of some kind for either or both coins! Actually, I can use both of those, if you'd like to trade. Send me an e-mail (take out all the captial letters in the address), and let me know what you're looking for. take care, Scott |

One Shilling 1956 coin. Two Shillings 1961 coin.
As far as I recall, a shilling was substituted by
the 5 pence coin. That would make it 1/20 of a pound in that case. As far as Elizabeth II. DEI. GRATIA. REGINA. DEI=GOD, GRATIA=GRACE, REGINA=QUEEN. Queen Elizabeth by the grace of God. I have collected many shillings myself. I probably have 100-200 of them. I have a large collection of 2 shillings and one shillings including three albums of one shillings in chronological order. I also happen to like half Crowns and have a couple of dozen of those. Those are more expensive than shillings. There is a book about shillings. I do know that Austria is the only other European country to use shillings until it adopted the EURO. |
