Great topic. I have some coins too add.
Mark Newby farthing featuring st.Patrick. Sorry about the condition of its flip. Mark Newby actually was born close to me in north east england before he fled to Ireland in fear of religious persecution before heading to NJ


Here is a selection of mu gun money collection I always try to get may 1690 as it's 300 years before I was born.

One of my favourite Irish coins/ Tokens the bank of Ireland 6 shillings just like the Bank of England dollar over struck on Spanish/American 8 reales coins.

Congrats! Very Nice Collection!!

 

Just got home from the pub.....

 

Nothing special about mine. Just pocket change from my wife's trip to Ireland with me from last year.

 

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

DARN! I thought the dude was normal sized and the gold was dinner plate sized.

 

King's County 13P token, Charleville, 1802

 

A September 1689 gun money shilling, ex Jonathan Kern.

My birthday falls on the turning point between March 1689 and March 1690. If I had nothing else to collect I guess I could get one of each “month” and say one was minted on my birthday. Or St. Patrick’s Day.
I also have a 1953 threepence in my collection somewhere, and all the decimal designs. Now I just need a sixpence. I like the threepence and sixpence’s designs the best out of all the designs for some odd reason.

 

The brisket is on at my place.
