As you say, so many fakes of these around that the usual starting point is to assume it is one. To my eye, yours does not look obviously wrong,...
Yes - appears to be Second Issue Shilling with Martlet mint mark. Number 2555 in the Spink catalague with Bust type 3C. Dating around 1560/1. Not...
This is a commemorative medallion form the UK - celebrates the marriage on March 10th 1863 of The Prince of Wales (then known as Albert, but...
Thanks for that - I am glad you like it. As with many I have it is much better in hand than the scan would suggest. One day I must get sorted out...
Yours is better than mine! [ATTACH]
... Whenever somebody puts a coin on the table at the Bridge Club you check it out for date and type, ... When all your friends save any new...
Not much to add to what has already been said. I buy and sell world coins all the time, and researching each one is part of the fun, and often...

Hi Paddy, You are right! And thanks for the buddy invite just accepted. I noticed your handle a few days ago and wondered if we could have much...
Thanks a million for that Windchild - that is definitely what I have. As Doug points out, down to rather too many details to be comfortable with...
