Phil,
I am not a fan. Its a strange colour and the rear loops appear to be not the usual copper type? regards

yes or no.
looks fine to me. strange colour is just poor lighting. its a nice clean sharp stamping with good detail. The crown looks right and the HPC loops are ok.i`d keep it.

Yes I see what you mean on both counts, I have tried to give it a clean but seems in places backed on any tips other than brasso and graft PHILIP |

I like it, the jewels on the crown look good, the crown on whole looks good too.

There are more examples on the forum here, take a look. But I've been told to look at the jewels and crown for uniformity. Just two examples to look out for, and ask for opinions too.
