I suspect this is a US phenomenon - similar coins sell for very little in the UK, if at all. Were Iraqi coins banned on Ebay like Cuban coins at...
Even Victoria herself is reputed to have disliked the Jubilee head design. Apparently it was originally planned to produce the bronze coinage with...
Here are reasonably decent examples of the four different Victoria Crowns. The OP coin I think is a little over-priced at $47 - if I needed it to...
Ah yes - a pity!
If it is not a copy the "Liberty and Virtue" 1776 coin in the middle of the first picture has potential. Can you post pictures of both sides along...

Not strictly a coin but a commemorative medallion - but Crown size and interesting: [ATTACH]
No denomination on it. You could say it was British arrogance at the time - "Everyone knows our money - let the rest of the world put their values...
Sadly yes, but not a specialist coin auction. Described loosely as "Unidentified Roman Coin" and with an estimate of £10 to £20. I guess if...
The tale that I heard that has always confirmed what a bad lot Edward VIII was, concerned his father's dogs. George V had a number of Clumber...
Sadly looks like others were taken in - hammer price was £300 + commission!
Thanks for that - I suspected as much but wanted to be sure I wasn't missing a potential bargain. It is in a non-coin general auction labelled...
I have spotted this one and have tracked it down to being similar to S12413, RIC 474 on Wildwinds, but the altar design is very different. Is it...
A couple of rather different ones arrived a few days ago: Essequebo & Demerary Stiver 1813: [ATTACH] Napoleonic Medal for the birth of his son,...
Thanks @Finn235 - yes I think I did, although it is a long time since then! I believe I sold it at market not long after - I know I don't have it...
Morocco 20 Franc AH1366 (~1947): [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Certainly similar, but the size and weight of mine are much higher. Looking on Wildwinds I can see several similar but none exactly the same. I...
That is great - thanks! I will look them up in more detail now.
Last few of the latest batch from my retiring collector. I suspect these are all Greek, but with little or no decipherable writing, I don't know...
That is great - thank you @cmezner - I will mark it up as genuine. I am buying it, along with the others listed in this thread and about 20...
