This is another coin I got today found several coins down in a box a buddy of mine give me today all different types of coins in it.
The modern British coin designs are quite bizarre, given that each one's design is sort of a "puzzle piece"- only part of the bigger picture. You've got part of one of the lions there, obviously, and the corner of the Irish harp.
Hi there I have an English coin and I'm a first time coin collector wondered if anyone here may help if they would be so kind
It's apparently a fake Henry III Gold Penny from the 1250s, I'm really not sure what to make of it. If it's real it's one of only 10 or so examples known in the world and I've not the first idea what to do with it. Had it for three months and I'm terrified of it in case I damage it. Tried to get it valued with no luck from a few reputable Jewellers where I stay in Scotland. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Start your own topic about it. Go back out to the World Coins forum and click the blue "Start New Thread" button. You'll also almost certainly need to post pictures of it if you want anyone to be able to give any opinions about it. And nobody with any sense would ask a jeweler for an opinion on the value of a rare coin. He might be able to tell you the spot (bullion) value, or test the gold, but unless he's also a numismatic expert, you're asking the wrong person. (Unless the jewelers in Scotland are much different and better versed in numismatics than their American counterparts on this side of the pond.)
Let see what you got but the best thing to do is start your own post that way more people can see it but I don't care two look just giving you a tip.A hole lot of advice will go a long ways on this site there are some very smart and good people own here I would take what ever they give me and run with it I'm kinda New own here my self been own here for a little bit.
