Looks like a counterfeit struck on a foreign planchet - I recognize that edge, but for the life of me can't remember specifically where from....
Interesting they are using a proximate design to the 1960 Crown for the obverse.
I have this one - good detail and patina, but unfortunately pierced... Priced accordingly, and still a good type coin....
Hi All, especially @lordmarcovan - token arrived today - many thanks! Possibly just as appreciated (if not more) was included one of LordM's famed...
I believe it is genuine, but a VG details coin - heavily cleaned, possibly previously mounted.
It is a contemporary counterfeit - counterfeiting of all British coinage was rampant in the late 18th-early 19th centuries, partly due to a...
Looks normal to me.
@lordmarcovan I took the colour variance to be encrustations... if not, there is often a mottling to the alloy used. Also, seals (especially...
As the material appears to suit this suggestion - I think it is a lead bag seal of some sort. These were common across the globe, used to seal...
Hi All! Wow- very unexpected, but very pleasantly so :) Thank you very much @lordmarcovan for running these draws - you are most generous, and a...
Although the obverse of these is notoriously weak, this is still an EF-AU example (VF-EF in British grading), and should be details. The lustre is...

I actually collect pre-Euro, high-grade Belgian coins. As opposed to what many people think, it is a fascinating field of numismatics - 2 sets of...
Let me preface by saying that it is very difficult to assert anything with any certainty from photos in this case. This having been said, I see no...
Sorry @toned_morgan, but these do not sell for anywhere near $50, they actually have a 'negative' value assigned to them owing to their bulk in...
Thats a tough question, as up until a short while ago, we were in an artificially inflated market. I might give you a realistic answer in a years...
None are 'special,' (none are rare types / all are in average condition) but at $2 40 years ago, you are bound to beat inflation in our times.
There are many continental imitations of English Pennies from this period, some official, some clandestine - I would suggest that this might be...
@BIC - the coin market has crashed numerous times in the past, and will do so in the future... as with virtually all markets, people get excited...
If genuine (on which I do not wish to opine here), this coin has at least been previously mounted, and cleaned. It is at best a damaged coin in a...
