I have the GB halfpenny and farthing too, but they are not great shakes. In recent times I have focussed on GB Milled Copper and silver of the...
A few to keep things ticking over. GB Sixpence and Shilling, then a Bavarian 3 Kreuzer: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Seems to have gone quiet again, so here are a couple for 1737: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
A couple of Handsome Highland Society Medals picked up today, both for Alexander Birss in the village of Birse. The 1865 medal for best kept...
I have checked through this thread and I don't think we have had these two: Edward the Black Prince, son of Edward III of England. He never got...
A couple to offer for 1740 - GB Halfpenny and a Zeelandia Duit, the latter probably with @coin_nut now: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Good to see CT back at last! Well done for anyone involved in fixing the issue. Only one new acquisition for me during the absence - this 1686 GB...

GB 1741 Sixpence: [ATTACH]
Ah yes - I have his book - "Folkes Tables of English Coins" London 1763.

Finally this is a Copper Star Denier of Bohemond III in Antioch 1163 to 1201 CE - a Crusader coin: [ATTACH]
These two are way outside my usual field, but they seemed cheap! First is labelled as a Silver Abbasi of al-Mansur dating 754 to 775 CE. Second is...
OK - I have done some shopping! These two are Indian. The first, the 1893 Rupee is straightforward. The second came marked as a Fanam of the...
GB Half Crown and Threepence for 1743: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The Half Crown has sadly been in a brooch at some stage, but otherwise has good detail.
I am not good at grading - certainly not on the US scale, so I will simply give preference: I would go for the second one. The slightly yellowish...
My pickups from the recent Noonan's auction in London, all GB shillings: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Difficult to see - is this the missing WW on truncation coin from the recent Noonan's sale?
Here is the GB shilling for 1745 - this one without the "bragging" LIMA below the bust and instead with roses in the angles on the reverse. This...
Seems to have gone quiet here so I will move us on to 1747 - a GB Shilling: [ATTACH]
