No that'd be the florin you're thinking of. Up until 1849 the coinage was as follows; Sovereign (20 shillings, Or £1) Half Sovereign (10...
Just do Philadelphia! (I always miss off Denver and San Fransisco coins), i've never collected coins far enough back to encounter CC mint exmples,...
Subjectively i think Morgan Dollars look better! :D It's all a matter of preference in this hobby, basically you have to do what you think is...
Now that's a nice Saint! (You've just bagged yourself $150 to 'boot. That figure just comes back to haunt me... since i'm thinking of...
Why not do a 20th century date set? 1901-1935. That way you get the 1901-04 and 1921 Morgans, and you get the Peace Dollars as well. Then you...
Only the London Mint 1917 sovereigns, The Australian mints are common. I think the US field has been covered by another poster, but a few Brit...
But as far as i am aware we didn't have the gold confiscated. Couldn't the US Government have just axed any ties between gold and paper money and...
I was wondering the same why did the US Government demand that gold be handed over back in 1933/4?

20 coins? ah well in that case i'm not as far off as i thought. I have exactly 20 coins in my 'good' coin collection. That's the one that...
Antiques? As for collecting/accumulating well i can't comment off the top of my head on that one. I need to think.
The mint would either regurgitate the old designs... Or they just introduce more clipart stuff. And can you really imagine a low relief SLQ in...
In that case your idea seems pretty sensible and i like it. I'm not adverse to change every now and again, but i like it steady. :D
I haven't got any references to help, now if it had been an English coin of that period i would have answered you question ages ago! :D
Hmm five years is alright. It's when you get to say four designs per year that it gets stupid and if a humble date collector like me was say...
I must admit i myself particularly dislike these coin themes. I don't mean yours in particular. I just mean the whole idea of rotating designs in...
Can you post a picture? It usually makes identification quicker. I don't think i can be of much help in this particular instance but i'm sure...
I'd say rarer coins myself Speedy, coins with low mintages. It's best to pick something a date, a type, a year set collector is going to want....
Good luck with that. I know a dealer that sells BU 1966 Threepences for 20p a piece. You bought them at a good price but you'll never be...
I wonder if they'll ever bring out a 10th century Krause? I live in hope... :D ...expecting disappointment.
