Here's some close ups because I could barely see the details on my phone in those shots (Internet not installed at our new place yet so its all via iphone)












If anyone has any of these to sell or trade I would be very happy to hear from you via message preferably

I don't have any British coins to post but the thread title reminds me of this company. From my former stomping grounds, Austin TX. Always laughed when I saw their vans.

 

That's cool ! I would definitely work for them !

Picked up a beauty, I think, 1911 Newfoundland 50 Cent

 

1940 British Guiana 4d its just an upgrade even though the details are of the same grade as my previous... It's not got solder on it where it was on a bracelet.

 

One has to appreciate the beauty of this engraving and craftsmanship;

South Africa 1949 5 Shillings proof cameo (PF 65 with 800 mintage).

 

Well these guys are not Empire, they are modern Bi-Metallic spendable.
I have all of them in circulated, BU, Proof and a few in Silver proof.
I don`t normally collect modern coins but Royal Mint excelled with this series, IMHO.

Here are just a few of the more interesting £2 Bi-Metallics

 

That's the £2 coin of the guinea I'm waiting for ! I considered buying it for £10 but thought it'll be out soon. Maybe next year by the looks of it haha !

I don't have any yet, but looking at all these I may just start soon lol

 

Wow Derick => your South Africa 1949 5 Shillings is absolutely "gorgeous"!!!

=> and only a mere 800 minted!! (*sweet*) => that's a keeper!! (congrats)


stevex6's self-edit => ooops, I looked it up and determined 800 "proof" were minted:

=> still a super-cool coin (beautifil cameo appearance, plus I love the reverse!!)

Cheers
