Yes - that looks right. Spinks 1445A Class 3de. Valued at £40 in Fine, but this is a bit less, so it will depend on how badly a collector wants...
Well - I will share an alternative to all the above: Put a small wanted ad in your local paper. I do that in the UK, and although I get asked to...
Yes - just that - no records have been found to indicate where the DELCA Mint was located. There are a number of mints of that period that are...
There was a hoard found at Prestwich in 1972 - only 65 coins so didn't really add a great many to the pool. (My coin is supposed to come from that...
At the risk of infuriating the large American contingent on this forum, I would like to put forward the Eisenhower Dollar as a candidate for one...
A lot rests on reading that last letter as an S - which is difficult to be sure of from the photos. My North seems to indicate Newcastle with a...

The distinction is fairly simple. The Bank of England issued these tokens in Silver (even if occasionally lower grade silver than might be...
Hi Phil, Good to see you posting at last! I have often wondered the same thing on these - I have always assumed that they were silvered originally...
You should try a trip to the UK! I was at an Antiques and collectors fair yesterday - three coin dealers (one of which was me) with bucket loads...
Interesting! If I knew how to contact the experts, I would pass it on to them... Thanks for your insight. Paddy
Saw this on the BBC website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-20548502 Interesting item, and the significance of the...
OK - I will do my best. A couple of other recent bits of coin news: Queen Anne 1703 Five Guinea sells for £240000:...
