    Interesting point.

    Maybe a myth, but the following sounds possible:

    Yes. There is also an as with the rudder on globe reverse from this same year with 38 expressed the same way. Titus issued coins in his ninth year with TRP numbers expressed both ways (VIIII and IX). I had not heard but rather like the idea of avoiding IV for religious reasons.

    Thank you for your response Ancient Doug.

    I did not mean to hijack this thread, so I will share some of my English / British friends:

    Love those copper farthings. Still reasonably priced, they are. So full of history. They are the coin that the average person from England, Wales, or Scotland would have used on a regular basis. (That's my rationalization, at least, for not collecting the more expensive gold sovereign from the same period).

    About the time I start collecting , a freshmen girl found a necklace she thought.
    Her mom took to a jewelry shop to do something. It was a very rare British gold coin.
    What she had was a 1650-6?$5.00. Her family sold it to Nyc.auctions house.. Upstate. New York were I grew up in the Hudson valley their was a lot British gold+European family.
    I think they sold for about 10,000. Tv New had to 1956 1957 that was news .

    Well, Not British, but Canadian

    1911 'Godless' Large Cent MS67 Brown PCGS

    I just love this coin! Have had it for a few weeks. The one-year "Godless" type, and the surfaces are as smooth as a baby's butt. Glints of red remaining in the peripheries and a superb strike. One of only two coins in this grade level at PCGS for the entire George V Large cent (1911-1920) type, the other being an MS67 Red 1912.

    Enjoy!

    Best Regards, :)

    George

    1901 Old Head Victoria Maundy Set PCGS MS66-MS67

    I bought this set because of the high condition and incredible eye appeal of each piece. I always enter all my inventory in the PCGS site because it helps me keep track of everything. This set instantly formed the #1 Finest Old Head 1901 Maundy set in the PCGS Registry, and the #2 Victoria Old Head (1893-1901) Type Set!

    Enjoy!

    Best Regards, :)

    Me too Jello. They do have four-part NGC holders, not sure about PCGS. And I think the cases were made separately/afterward, not coming with the coins. Any Brit friends know for sure?

    Best Regards, :)
