The most striking example of this occurs with the Tin Farthings and Halfpennies issued in Britain in the 1680s and 1690s. They soon discovered...
There have been Whitman albums for British coins, and you can still get them on Ebay, but there will be separate albums for each denomination, so...
Such as this one: [ATTACH]
Yes - the collection I had acquired included many variants in the Half and One Rupee section - inverted and raised mint letters, mint marks, a...
Nice coin - but am I reading the dates wrong all along? I would have said this one was 1892 not 1897?
I am glad you appreciate them! Sadly they have all moved on from me about 3 years ago now, and all I have left are the pictures. The one that...
OK! OK! Pictures to illustrate the point: [ATTACH][ATTACH] Top is a Falkland 50p Crown sized coin from 1987. Made by the Royal Mint, probably...

I wish! More like USD 6000 I think - still too much for me.
Well - looks like I was wrong - sold for £4k: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-23522065
I could get it home, but not afford it! I suspect it will go for a good deal more than that, and to a museum, which is probably where it ought to...
But my personal favourite is this Elizabeth I milled Sixpence from 1562. This was our first foray into machine made coins, and for various reasons...
