They are still cashable at face value at any UK bank and I believe will remain so for quite a while yet. Shops are entitled to refuse them, but I...
I have found job lots of silver do better at local, non-expert auction houses where there are enough "amateur" dealers to bid things up in the...
Another shilling from me - 1695: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I think they should do a little better than melt. The Australian 1927 Florins are a one off for that year and so sought after by some collectors,...
On to 1696 - a Shilling with the C beneath the bust for Chester. For a short period at this time coins were minted with a variety of city marks...
Mine for 1697 is a Half Crown: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The scratches over the 9 in the date are known as "adjustment marks" - post minting coins were...

Seems I have more Moustaches than I thought! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Dig those...
Still my favourite for Moustaches - King Umberto of Italy in Eritrea: [ATTACH]
For 1700 I have a sixpence: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Picked up this today - interesting tale of a dog serving in British forces in the late 19th century. Hand written history came with it. [ATTACH]...
I knew Turtles were sought after somewhere! This little medallion was in a lot today - the reverse is blank and there are no marks to indicate it...
How about this early one - Philip & Mary Sixpence from 1554, the first time we had two monarchs on our coins in Britain. It was very unpopular as...
Of course she was! My addled my mind - apologies.
