Since we seem to be onto French medals again, here are a couple I have posted before. Sorry my photographic skills are not great. (More to the...
I am glad you have it nailed down now. Not heard of pocket piecing before as a way of cleaning coins! For something as damaged and valueless as...
I don't have any books on the jetons so I have to rely online. The legend is pretty much unreadable, so that doesn't help. I did see a similar one...
The bust fits best with the 1806/1807 issues. It is fairly close to the 1799 issue, but that does not have a straight line under Britannia to...
You are right and I am wrong. I went by the appearance rather than checking the dimensions. It is in the range of a Halfpenny, but the weight is...
I believe it is a George II Farthing. The date I think is actually 1739 with the 3 over 5 (a recognised variant). The down stroke of the 9 often...
Forgive me if this has been posted somewhere here already, but I just found this link on a UK Coin forum. Interesting but depressing to see how...
Picked up this today - I assume it is a Jetton but I do not have the book so I don't know which one. [ATTACH]
That is very useful reading and it sounds as if we should be reporting the seller in the original posting to Ebay everytime he lists until he...
I'm not great on US grading but if that coin counts as MS66 I've got a bridge I can sell you! :happy:
A bit like this? This is one of my spares at the moment. [ATTACH]
Ha Ha! I guess we are just better at spotting your shysters so we send them back! :happy:
I hope this is acceptable - posting a link to another coin forum (though in the UK so hopefully not seen as a competitor!)....
An update. I have managed to find some info on most of these (Numbering left to right, top to bottom): 1. Refers to to Louis 16th of France...
I have been asked to come up with some more information on this group of medals and medallions. I can read and research the words but I would...
Welcome Helon! Glad to see another Brit on this forum. Yes, we do get to see some wonderful Victoriana here. Not all are regular coins - here is...
Great - thanks for the update. I see quite a few of these in the UK but have always lacked a reference for them - I will keep an eye out for that...
Thanks Bill in Burl for posting those! Very useful. They came through as pages 1 and 2 posted twice each - were there actually pages 3 and 4 as...
I can't really comment on the Spinks grading - I haven't seen many others! I would agree with you on VG. In the UK many would describe it as aF...
Ah but it does. For milled coins in my 2011 edition it is on pages 323 to 325. If that doesn't match yours, look in the middle of the Charles II...
