Old Coins

Chochese

Howdy folks!

Just wondering if anyone in the locality can help me out with a college project.
I have to take high resolution photographs of a set of old Irish coins and the only two I am missing are the old farthing coin with a woodcock on it and a half crown featuring a horse.

These bad boys:



Is there anyone who has any of these coins in Waterford who can loan them to me for an hour or two so I can get them photographed??

Cheers!

Thanks guys, I managed to get my hands on a half crown from that antiques place in the Applemarket!

I was told about Jacksons antiques shop down by the plaza too, forgot about that place. I'll pop down there today and see if they have a farthing to spare.

Robtri, the pictures are there but they don't have enough detail and they're not print quality. I'm looking to reproduce them in a booklet and on a series of posters for a design history project with close up shots.

Here's a sample of an old penny I took last night, and this image is still only 50% of the size I'm working with:



Cheers for your help guys!
