Messed up my original reply. Anyway...THIS IS HUGE! I just added it to my chrome browser and it's perfect (and yet another reason to avoid Safari). Checked my old posts at PCGS and could see all my shots.

I'd been hoping PB would eventually rescind the retroactive nature of their idiocy (no such luck that I'm aware of), but this is a great help. Lots of people deleted their accounts, but for those that didn't, well this is super.

You should post this as an individual topic so more people see it! I'm going to do so at a couple other forums...especially my dog forum.

(edited to add: I am having happy people at my dog forum!!! I also posted this at CU, with credit )

 

I'm glad you found a work around

 

I can't say I know the full history of them, but I can say they are an exceedingly common French coin. Almost any job lot of unsorted coins here in Europe will include a few of these and they mostly end up in dealers' 10p or less boxes. Sorry to disappoint!

 

I guess I won't be quitting my day job.
Thanks

Thanks! I thought maybe Ohio, just curious.

 

Is this a copy of the small planchet variety?

I really like this copy, very authentic looking except for the Roman numeral. The legend font, and the tree are impeccable, The Roman numeral should be XII, I think. I don't know what it signifies though.

Do you know where I can get one?

 

Amazing quality. Did you draw up a design or did you give the metal worker artistic license. It is the most Amazing hobo Nickel I've ever seen!

 

Hi,I should have said it's a copy of a sixpence not Shilling. I think VII pence equals a Shilling if I'm not mistaken. I get a lot of the unattainable coin Copies for my Educational set. All are stamped Copy as Per the Hobby Protection Act. https://coinreplicas.com/shop/

 

Slightly muddled but yes: the VI on the illustrated copy is Roman Numerals for Six, hence a sixpence. A Shilling would have XII for Twelve - the number of pennies in a shilling.
This indication of the denomination of coins in Britain as a number of Pennies in Roman numerals was common through the reign of Elizabeth I to Charles I, and continued (noticeably on the Gun Money) into James II's reign.
You will see "XXX" on some of the Gun Money for Thirty - the number of pence in a Half Crown.

 

I used this image that I made for him to get an idea of how I wanted it to look.

 

This is cool but help me understand. Do others have to be running Chrome and add the tool to see my images that have broken links?

 

I'm using Chrome, and got the extension. It's completely seamless after that.

 

Might as well post a token or medal...

 

Just picked this one up. Engraved By Patey. Henri Auguste Jules Patey (9 September 1855, Paris – June 1930, Paris) was a French sculptor, medallist and coin engraver.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri-Auguste_Patey The Ministry of Commerce and Industry Law established on July 27 1822
