I think you are being a tad on the generous side given the state of the coin, particularly the obverse. Ian
here's my favourite al coin :-)
I agree with Doug on this one. There are a couple of things i'm having difficulty with. The first coin shown has `DUX' in the legend. This is...
OK.....found the leaflet, which is quite informative concerning how coinage was made way back then. It unfortunately tells me nothing about the...
That one certainly isn't pewter. It might very well be silver or have a silver content. Definitely struck as opposed to cast. Pewter replicas...
To be honest I don't really know. It doesn't gel with me as being silver but I wouldn't swear that it wasn't. I couldn't remember what i did with...
Finally got round to digging out that `moneyer' piece I got hold of. It's supposed to be an Aethelred II (978-1016) long cross type spink 1151....
Hi Doug, Perspective. Three weeks ago, the value of gold on the metal markets was circa $490 per ounce. That's roughly $122.50 per sov. Today...
I just looked at the first two Eddie VII that sold today. I didn't think there was any need to look any further given that it was TODAY's gold...

Well, to put thoughts into perspective with `actual' I just had a quick look at final prices achieved for Eddie VII sovereigns on ebay today....

The first one is a Tallero of Massa di Lunigiana minted under Carlo I Cybo (1623-1662). Reference : A3973 `European Crowns 1600-1700' by John...
Your'e very welcome. Constance (Konstanz) is a city on Lake Constance (German - Swiss border). At the time of your coin it would have been part...
OK unless your coins are the 1902 proof coin, these items are generally considered to be `bullion' (ie worth their actual weight in gold) and as...
Took me a while to read the legends but they are pretty clear. I struggled with the last letter of CONSTA(N) . That's a VERY nice coin you have....
I missed out on one in good fine condition at $175 five years ago.
It's very hard to tell if it is real or not from the photo but you should be aware that there is indeed fakes of this coin type out there courtesy...
I'm hearing voices! (Mental note to start putting some water in that whisky) Sellers feedback shows only eight negs and a few neutrals out of...
