I'd be delighted to find otherwise, but as with the others I suspect that you will never see any response from the original poster. ;)
Terry. Why don't you just post the images onto a webpage and let us know the address when you have done so. To be brutal, I wouldn't accept a...
I agree with you Doug. It is indeed a gorgeous coin...., but i'm puzzled as to why Mikjo seems to think that necessitates your having a cow, let...
Whatever it may or may not be, it's not listed in Gavin Scott's `British Countermarks on Copper and Bronze Coins'. If it were a Brit countermark,...
Nice one! So much `class' just oozes from that coin..... and yes, the fractional talers are generally much harder to come across than their big...

There are two type 3d's. The first has the king to the left obv. and a shield reverse. The second type is as per yours. The three `c's' in this...

Hi, The denomination in question dated 1949 for `Nouvelle Caledonie' (reverse legend) is indeed 50 Centimes, and not 50 Cent. For reference, it...
Out of interest, how much you are out of pocket by on that one? Ian
I've just checked that link you provided. If the name is any guide, it's the same poster involved.
When you spot something like you have it can be really frustrating trying to get to the bottom of it. The main reason is that the source...
I hate to be the harbinger of bad news, but your medal is a fairly modern `restrike/ reproduction'. The Paris mint (where this item was struck)...
