    First post showing some of my collection... starting off with likely the two most unique coins I have. The first is a 1902 Half Sovreign depicting King Edward VII. Very clearly the one I have has been in circulation, however upon doing research into this coin and discovering not only what it's made of, but it's potential worth, it's been separated from the rest of my collection and placed in an impromptu plastic casing. The second coin is a silver coronation medal from 1911 depicting King George V and his wife Queen Mary. I don't think it's been circulated per say, but it's definitely showing some of it's age. This one too has been separated from the rest of my collection upon doing some research. These are also two mystery coins, don't remember how they came to be in my collection. My best guess is they are from my step dad, his family came from the UK, and I've received antiques from him, so it would make sense.

    Oh, I love that one from India! That's such a beautiful design around the face of the piece. Don't have any coins from India yet, I'm going to have to keep a look out. Lovely Sovreign too, yours is in magnificent condition, you can actually make out the dragon!
