Thanks for that Bruce. Most of that was as I thought, but the value was a surprise. As for being a "keeper" I will probably actually move it on as...
I have picked up this today. Appears to be a good luck medallion from the early 18th century. Measures just 15mm across and looks to be silver....
Danish West Indies 1860 1 cent: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
A couple of upgrades for me today: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] 1897 Victoria Florin in great condition. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] 1749 George II Halfpenny in much...
This is also Greenland - amongst the first coins ever issued for that Island. (Sadly I have sold this one now, but still interesting.) [ATTACH]...
The mintmark "aLN" would be London. where the "a" can be a number of different letters. If it was "aLG" it would be Lugdunum/Lyons. My reference...
... As it happens I have a very similar coin on my desk at the moment, this one from Antioch mint: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Roman - I think Maximianus. Probably get more answers in the Ancients section? PS: With the L in the mint letters at the bottom could be London...

I picked up these 4 at a local auction because they were cheap and intriguing! Anyone able to exercise their grey cells for a bit and tell me what...
I go with the rest - not proof-like in my opinion. Leaving aside the damage, the teeth around the edge are far too rounded and irregular. Bear in...
Looks like we had a bit of a jump there! 1535, then 1531, back track to 1534 and 1533, then on to 1531 again. Somehow we missed 1532, so here is...
I am coming towards the end of the ones I have - I think 1532 is the last for me, unless anything else turns up! I have the Hungarian Dinar 1535:...
I have this one from 1536 - again I have it down as a Livonia Shilling but I suspect I will be corrected! :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Bother! I realise I also missed out on my 1541 Livonia Shilling: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Now carry on at 1538 or earlier! Apologies for the back track...
