Excellent. These RRITANNIARs have always seemed a bit contrived as rarities for the reasons you've pointed out. I do confess to having an 1868 3d....
The earlier Britannias were "standard", or came as reverse proof coins. I too wonder about Britannia mintages as if you look hard enough, there...
I am def. in the AU camp, the OP pictures are "pie-plate" sized and in hand would not be so prominent. This is right up my alley as I used to do...
Last I heard end of the month
Nice post and beautiful coins there! What was the grade of the 5 sov. piece? Was it also a "66"? I got the 1937 Sov. in PCGS Proof 65 Cam from the...
Yikes, I need your bank account!
Lovely half sov there. Not IMO rare but scarce at 66CAM, and esp. if the price “civilized”. Prices on all proof earlier Brit gold have gone wild.
If the reverse is similar and there aren’t hairlines not obvious on photo, it likely would go 50, with chance at 53.
Please note that I did locate an Uncirculated (U) 1980 Ten Dollar coin - must be quite rare as I still have seen no others from 1977-1980 in...
The coin has extreme relief not even fully shown on the below. Also the reverse with ?nonsensical runic inscription around edge: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Eric BloodAxe (I got spellchecked) I love this design, a Niuean coin just received today:[ATTACH] No pansy he, my Swedish Grandmother would NOT...
Great Britain and a semi-reasonable price as well.
OK, I didn't even know this existed at the start of my search over 10 years ago. Even though listed in Krause, confirmation was a bear and finding...
Ah, yes. I see and should have read the Anguilla listing more carefully. BTW, some of these counter stamps or countermarks are very lightly...
Excellent! I like these little tidbits that are many times discovered and then lost.
1970 Anguilla Proof 4 Dollars with "1 AR" counterstamp (or what you'd like to label it). This seems to quite rare, and I have not seen another of...
The 1 AR on the 100 francs does look stamped in, but I could be wrong.

NP - excellent! That is as good as I have heard & think I'll print it off. And you too Spirityoda!!! Here is the promised closeup. Also, I put...
OK, I am at fault because of poor photo & will try to post a better one later today: the difference is to the left of CFA on obverse top coin...
