I bought this penny off a dealer today - it came to me identified as Edward the Elder, but after much searching through North, I suspect it is...
I have had a few of these over the years, and they are indeed very lovely. (As are some of the Australian ones from around the same time.) As to...
Nice coin! I would grade at very good on international standards - might push it to almost Fine on a good day! ("Beau" on French grading.) My 2001...
By coincidence, I picked up this one last week among some odds and ends at a local auction. Just for your interest. [ATTACH]
Ah but you miss the point - for much of history the value of the coin has been the value of the metal in it, not what was printed on it. In modern...
If it is just Florins and shillings, the short answer is "no". One or two are over face value if they are EF or better (using European measures,...
Yes - it is Gold that has stayed the same and everything else that has changed! A Sovereign in 1912 was One Pound in the UK. The same sovereign...
No problem! I agree in some respects each coin is unique - particularly when you start noticing all the minor errors. Every individual coin also...
Can I be a pedant for a moment and object to the term "Most Unique"? Unique is an absolute term - it means there is just one of them, and as such...
These are about all I have left now - a few copper odds that I never really got round to identifying properly. If you know more, please let me...
I had a large collection of Indian coinage a few years back - sadly all that is left now are pictures, but here are some of them for your...
Thanks Christian - that helps a lot. Looks like I would need pretty deep pockets to expand into this area - I will just hope one drops into my lap.
Plain as a pikestaff! First picture is of Apollo's head, and the second of a horse. Joking aside - those are what these two designs are said to...
Hi Christian - do you have any more than this? Was it relating to a specific event? My German is not good, so I am not sure what message it was...
Surely these two should be in the list? [ATTACH][ATTACH] Victorian Gothic Crown 1847, William an Mary Crown 1692
Sounds dodgy to me. With all the other issues, I would have to conclude a fake. It may be that the fakers were producing a lot of blanks for...
... When you make sure you don't have a wife, so you don't run into this situation in the first place!
Very true, and it is wise to be careful with your opinions even when you are provably right. In my early days of collecting I found a small coin...
... When the only fantasy dreams left to you are where you find the impossibly rare coin in a junk box in a flea market. (I usually wake up in a...
Using International (as opposed to US) grading it would probably be vg or aF. Good points are the complete flan and legend, bad points are the...
Separate names with a comma.
