Sadly yes, but not a specialist coin auction. Described loosely as "Unidentified Roman Coin" and with an estimate of £10 to £20. I guess if...
The tale that I heard that has always confirmed what a bad lot Edward VIII was, concerned his father's dogs. George V had a number of Clumber...
Sadly looks like others were taken in - hammer price was £300 + commission!
Thanks for that - I suspected as much but wanted to be sure I wasn't missing a potential bargain. It is in a non-coin general auction labelled...
I have spotted this one and have tracked it down to being similar to S12413, RIC 474 on Wildwinds, but the altar design is very different. Is it...
A couple of rather different ones arrived a few days ago: Essequebo & Demerary Stiver 1813: [ATTACH] Napoleonic Medal for the birth of his son,...
Thanks @Finn235 - yes I think I did, although it is a long time since then! I believe I sold it at market not long after - I know I don't have it...
Morocco 20 Franc AH1366 (~1947): [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Certainly similar, but the size and weight of mine are much higher. Looking on Wildwinds I can see several similar but none exactly the same. I...
That is great - thanks! I will look them up in more detail now.

Yes - British George II Shilling. Date at the top on the reverse is 1750 - slightly better date than the common 1758. I love these 18th century...
Thank you @cmezner - I feared it might be a copy because the verdigris looked very fresh (as in a coin that had been artificially aged) and the...
Egypt Half Millieme 1938: [ATTACH]
This one in today as an upgrade for me: [ATTACH]
Picked up another bunch of Roman coins from a retiring collector. I have identified most to my satisfaction, but would appreciate confirmation on...
I believe there are two areas covered by the term "jeweller's copy" at the moment: 1. The term was originally used to refer to the loose...
I think you are going to have to give us slightly bigger pictures! Even if I save your pictures and zoom in, I can read very little. 25 Kopek, but...
Very nice set, and one I would be proud to own. Just on a "point of order" for the OP though - you have included the varieties of the Victorian...
Separate names with a comma.
