British West Africa one penny 1946

 

Incoming NGC MS-63. One of four 1936 coins to bear Edward VIII's mark (the others being East Africa, Fiji and New Guinea, if memory serves).

 

Coins of Kutch State in India also had Edward VIII. Here is a New Guinea Penny.

 

Here are a couple of 5 kori coins from Kutch. First one is 1936 Edward VIII (note the Arabic number 8, like an upside down V, on the right hand image). 2nd one is also 1936 and has a small upside down heart for the numeral 5, George V. These can be considered British Empire or commonwealth type coins.

 

New Guinea shilling, PCGS MS-65 ...



New Brunswick, NGC XF-40 ...

 

1853 OT type, much scarcer and really nice lustre. I believe this a proof as the 1853 proof pennies often come this way with the reverse darker from being in the original holder:

 

It's the same reverse die as Richard Sessions' proof, that's for sure.

 

Note that NGC rejected this as a proof. LOL. I do not understand what criteria they use for designation or grading for that matter....

 

AV Half Guinea 1759
George II 1727-60

 

Strange - do you get any feedback on why they decided it wasn't a proof? The reverse die at least appears to match that of one they slabbed as proof:

Absolutely none. Wonder who is there grading?

 

Essequibo & Demerary (the future British Guiana) 1/2 Stiver, 1813
PCGS AU-50

 

and the stiver.

 

Wow, that's a beautiful coin. Almost looks like it could be a proof. Is it?

 

Does this count? 1956 Egypt 50 Piasters
Commemorates freedom from Britain (in a way). I believe it a specimen but since no specimens known was graded 67 by PCGS:

 

Yes!

 

1745 George II Lima shilling

 

B.E.I.C., Bengal Presidency, Calcutta, 'Farrukhabad' Rupee, Ry.45 (1833-1835), type without tiny crescent added on reverse.
