My latest addition to my growing BI collection.. Your opinions please..
i think there dipped or something else, but i don't see hairlines of cleaning.. I think i leave them in front of the window for a while..

Hard to say from a picture. Light is all important. I you have ever collected pre second world war Dutch coins, you will know what the natural colour of this grade of silver is. If they look more like copper-nickel, they were improperly cleaned. Some pollution never hurts.

The coins look like well preserved honest workhorses to me.

Beautiful coins, but they look cleaned to me.  Thanks for sharing!

all look polished which falls under the category of altered surfaces rather than cleaned.  so leaving them by the window sill will be an exercise in futility it almost always is.  better to carry it in your pocket the wear the coins will receive will take away the polishing but lower the grade considerably.  my opinion sell it and buy problem free coins

I like your 1904 rupee. All details are there. I don't have any problem with that coin.

@$and€r, when TO says "polished", he means schoongemaakt, not gepolijst.

Ever since a British member remarked on the strategic place of the crown, covering the private parts of the lion, I can only see te lion grinning, rather than roaring.

No, as in ich habe es gesaubert, not as in ich habe es poliert.

The part just below the cross looks suspiciously like the sheath I have seen some aborigional peoples wear
