A big old hunk of bullion, ex mount, rim dings.. Cost £350 when bought, years back. Crazy prices nowadays.. UK £5 piece. [ATTACH]
What a curious item, about the only thing that fits is a plated denarius. Leaving the SC in is a complete fail though.. Perhaps it was made in...
They're pretty notes no question, the lower denominations less so. Probably a anti-counterfeiting measure, it was a lot of money in the 50's....
I've always liked the look of these, they are unfortunately quite popular - hence expensive. Oh well, Christmas coming up and fair price - had to...
Hardly anyone here posts about these - I have a few coins of James VI. Possibly the most attractive designs, and really varied - due to economic...
That really is a beauty! These are the earliest affordable pieces. My example is mm Lis, and the English version - poorly struck. [ATTACH]...
Well, I have something from SLC - the fifty cent, which passed for 25 SLC pennies. Won't get any points for grade, heavily circulated - but...

For the naturally curious, here is the 1888 volume - courtesy of the Internet archive.. Spink with an ad on page 240-1 no less. A guide to the...
You have a real rarity there, though its not pretty. Normal Labienus denarii are easier - but viciously expensive! Congratulations. I've often...

The real 2025 Pitcairn proofs are 999 Gold & denominated in dollars, not pounds. The legend on your coin is also arranged differently, possibly...
Well, I've got a ballpark figure. My 1991 Krause has a value of $140 - adjusted for inflation is $385. It does seem fairly valuable.
The page from zeno.ru with some details for it. #234818 - Tibet, 1 sho, KM Y#21.1a, BE 15-59 (1925)
Let's hear it for the elephant! On a similar vein - an early coin from Sierra Leone. Well worn and pretty scarce, found on eBay no less. [ATTACH]
Pennies are undated except by mm. It looks like yours is Spink 2580 6th Issue Penny mm '0'. Dating to 1600-1. Of course, welcome back to CT.
