OK not the greatest coin in the world but this 1683 Charles II Shilling is the first time I have filled a gap in this series for several years....
Oh - I am intrigued - how did they achieve plating without electricity?
I have acquired this coin after it was brought to me at the market yesterday. It weighs about 5.25g and measures 18.8mm at the longest across. I...
Nothing outstanding but pleased to pick up these two in a job lot today. The 1859 Penny is the small date version. The 1822 Ireland Halfpenny is...
I go along with most of the above, though the capped bust dime looks like 1822 to me. I might do better with the Victoria Sixpence but the...
Ah! That reminded me I had this one in my non-British "tangent" collection: [ATTACH]
Not normally my thing, but this came in over the weekend - Uganda 5 Shilling 1968 with a "Cow and Calf". Are they actually Zebu does anyone know?...

Thanks for that - that helps enormously. Yes looking at the coin at an angle through a loupe the Delta is fairly clear.
Bump... This is the last of the 3 ancients I posted without a better Identification - anyone able to help me with this one? Thanks,
Bump... Thank you for the ID on C and D - anyone able to help me with A and B? I am sure I have seen A before but I can't read the writing......
Last one - from my friend's batch. This is small and the only reason I suggest Judaea is that there was a scrap of paper with that written on it....
Continuing on the quest of identifying this batch of coins for a friend, can anyone put me right on this one? It looks to be a Celtic Bronze,...
I am trying to help a friend identify a number of coins he bought as part of an "ancients" collection. I have succeeded with most of the Roman...
A friend bought a collection of mostly Roman coins, with which I have been helping him with identification. These were in there - I suspect Indian...
