Very nice indeed. Your one is dated 1887, Vicky's silver jubilee year and the start of the double florin series. There are two varieties and...
Nah...just stuck. :smile Ian
The site is indeed a treasure trove. The navigation of it takes a bit of acclimatisation though. Mind you, the subject matter is vast and...
French mediaeval coinage is difficult enough. It is nigh on impossible to follow these German lineages without making it a lifes work. :-) I knew...
That your medallion has these edge marks suggests that it is a re-strike. The 973 however is more likely to be the serial number of the piece as...
It basically says what I said concerning who / what is on the coin. The only additional information diven is `normal style but well struck for a...
mini slabs? Being here in the Yewkay, I haven't come across any anacs `mini slabs', in fact this is the first of me hearing of them. Could someone...

Well, i'm no particular expert on German coins per se, so I will stop at the edge of my knowledge and understanding. I'll also check out my own...

I'm right there with you on that Roy.
OK, the canuk one you know about. The copper Brit is indeed a penny (the cartwheel 2d was 41mm diam). Your one isn't in all that brilliant for a...
It's past midnight here in Jockland, so i'm about to fall off my perch. If no one has responded to you before, i'll do so after I get some shut...
I've got a nice crown sized x 10 magnifying glass that is far better than any loupe i've come across. Enables you to see a much larger area of...
You are most welcome. The coin is most definitely (at least to my mind) the sede vacante issue and as such it has a definite minting date of...
