[ATTACH] [ATTACH] To get back to the original topic, here is a shilling of Charles I of England, executed at the end of the English Civil war:
Way too pricey! The only justification is that someone went to the expense of having it encapsulated. These are very common here in the UK and I...
Agreed - the lettering on British coin edges is roughly 50/50 which way up it will appear, and rotationally can start anywhere around the coin....
A couple more to keep you interested. Both these have sadly moved on now. The Fire one has the same obverse I think as others posted here....
I have no problem with that! Lots of interesting medals and plaques showing up. With the easing of the original topic I may be able to add a few...

The closest to a Carbon dating for anything metal is to test the content of various elements in the alloy, and in particular their radioactivity....
I suspect this is a US phenomenon - similar coins sell for very little in the UK, if at all. Were Iraqi coins banned on Ebay like Cuban coins at...
Even Victoria herself is reputed to have disliked the Jubilee head design. Apparently it was originally planned to produce the bronze coinage with...
Here are reasonably decent examples of the four different Victoria Crowns. The OP coin I think is a little over-priced at $47 - if I needed it to...
Ah yes - a pity!
If it is not a copy the "Liberty and Virtue" 1776 coin in the middle of the first picture has potential. Can you post pictures of both sides along...
Finally scored some success at auctions: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Not strictly a coin but a commemorative medallion - but Crown size and interesting: [ATTACH]
