A couple of very nice GB examples for 1772 - a halfpenny and a fourpence: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Spink is a bit out of date when it says the 1763 counterfeits are low grade. Some recent ones are very high grade and difficult to spot. The...
The silver small coins from 1763 to 1800 are often mis-labelled as Maundy coins, but there is no doubt they were also for circulation. The level...
OMS = "Off Metal Strike" - when a coin is struck on a flan of the wrong metal type.
These two arrived in the last week. The 1709 shilling is fairly standard - I bought it because the incumbent for that date had been "doctored" to...
All I have are GB coppers again for 1774. First two are halfpennies - the first is genuine (Regal) I believe, the second a contemporary...
A couple of GB coppers to share - a contemporary counterfeit Halfpenny and a Regal (I believe) Farthing. For 1775 I have yet to get a decent...
I have a couple marked 1776 - a very interesting Drury Lane ticket or tally, and a more common GB Fourpence: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

These three picked up today, all upgrades. GB 1708 E Half Crown (Edinburgh) GB 1743 Halfpenny GB 1918 Penny [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
My latest pick up just arrived: England, Harold II (he who lost at the Battle of Hastings) penny, minted in London by Godric. Ex Braintree Hoard....
Definitely looks like a replica to me - not a fake as too far from genuine to fool anyone. Probably a souvenir coin from some museum or historical...
Just a couple - Netherlands Duit and a GB Threepence: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I can do that in a way - Spanish 8 reales dated 1781 and minted in Mexico, countermarked with the head of George III for circulation as a 5...
I have seen these before with Turkish coins inset. As far as Wikipedia knows, there are no volcanoes in Turkey currently or recently producing...
The only thing in my picture archive with the date 1783 on it is this old lead bag seal. I assume it is a date and not a batch number, but who...
