The 1st 2 are

Steve,which tribes are the Ancient British coins from? I think that you have spelt the name of Queen Boudicca's tribe wrongly.It is Iceni.

Aidan.

 

And the final one is again from France

Ilirgates Head & Horseman

Beautiful Coins

Aiden I sugest that you take it up with Chris Rudd as that is how it is spelt on his discrcription Sorry Ben no LOL and I am not sure your Mrs would like it LOL

De Orc :hug:

 

Steve,I am basing the spelling on what is described in the Spink catalogue of coins of England & the U.K.

Are you familiar with this book?

Aidan.

 

Those are really great mr. D.!!!!
I love celtic coins and have a few of the potins from various French tribes.
Mrs. De Orc is a shining example of womanhood if you ask me.

 

Very cool. I don't have any Celtic stuff yet, but have been keeping my eye out for a few.

 

Ilirgates Head & Horseman is outstanding...I dont have any celtic coins either...dont know much about them...thanks for showing these.

 

Brian,
Here are a couple of French Tribes ones.It's interesting to note that both coins have fleur-de-lis in the design so I guess they're encoded into the French DNA since it's still their national symbol after 2,100 years.
(The fleur-de-lis on the left coin is growing from the ground below the belly of the stylized boar,that thing that looks like a salamander)

 

MikJo once again I take my hat off to you (or would if I wore one LOL) they are superb :bow:
Could you please send me instuctions on how to make those wonderful holders that you use

Silly question perhaps....but are these holders 79 cents each or 79 cents per box of 25? I'm impressed with the way you've set out your collection and i've been looking for alternatives to the card 2x2's and unpolymerised flips i've been using.

 

Ian,
They're 79 cents each.I buy them from my local coin shop at $4.99 for six-pack.

 

I thought that the way they were listed was too good to be true My main problem is the additional costs (postage/ value added tax etcetera) in getting them over to my side of the pond.

I need to check to see if there is a supplier in the UK.

 

Yep same here, would need to buy in bulk then you get hit by import duty
