A beautiful proof commemorative. Steve

 

1980 Proofs. Steve

 

1797 dated "Cartwheel" Penny. I understand that these were minted for many years with the 1797 date. It is large and very heavy (don't have the weight handy).



There is some circular damage on George, which looks intentional. Possibly a bank or merchant countermark?

Very cool coin.

 

Has this one an engraved rim?

 

Here's a few nice big British copper pennys.

 

Wow nice set of penny's

 

British Trade Dollar, 1901.

 

Nice Trade dollar!
You may want to look at the date some 1901 are over dates

 

Outstanding coins.

 

Cool! I'll check it out, I know it's in one of my binders, just gotta find it. My gold I can find easily, my world coins are a little harder to keep track of tho'.

 

the cartwheel coins were minted in the soho mint birmingham by matthew boulton on the stream press,the minting was slow so it did take a few years to complete the contract.the penny is one ounce ,the twopence two ounces,the idea was that shop keepers would use them as weights as well as money.not a good idea and not repeated.

 

Here's a nice mixture of silver coins. Steve

two type of sixpences for 1887 jubilee head--the first had a shield on the reverse-same design and size as the half sovereign,so they were guilded and passed as half sovereigns.this is the design to put a stop to that--nice coin
