I thought that the way they were listed was too good to be true :) My main problem is the additional costs (postage/ value added tax etcetera) in...
Pridmore part IV vol 1 is the numismatic bible for EIC coinages (1642-1835). Hard to find, and generally expensive when you do find it, but worth...
Probably the best introduction to the subject of collecting `ancients' is the book `Ancient Coin Collecting - Volume 1' by Wayne G. Sayles. This...
Silly question perhaps....but are these holders 79 cents each or 79 cents per box of 25? I'm impressed with the way you've set out your collection...
Aidan, what you actually said was: "Biju,that piece bearing the portrait of King William IV & the date 1839 is definitely a dud,as King William...

Just to add to that, in terms of silver coinage there was also the large silver franc (from 1576 onwards) example below: [img] ....the 1/2...
