I posted this one a while back in its own post - a membership medallion for the Beggar's Benison Order, a group of Libertines based at Anstruther...
It is rare for fake coins to fail on the magnet test - but still worth a try. Most are made of cupro-nickel alloys - the same as most modern white...
I will leave the US coinage to others, although I have to say they look a long way off right to me. The British Trade Dollar certainly looks a...
The hunt is now on for Richard III's son. This article from the BBC has some interesting info on a forgotten character of medieval history....

Usual American bias here so I thought I would post some British ones. Then I couldn't pick just one, so here are 4 of my favourites: 1847...
I think the coin is lovely and would certainly find a place in my collection. (Although I would have it out of its prison first.) I am not happy...
The Portobello medallion reminded me of this one, which I have had for a few years now. Celebrates Wellington's Battles against Napoleon, and is...
Aha! The war of Jenkins ear! One of my favourites.
This is another from today's job lot at auction. Again it is outside my collection bounds and will have to go to market. I can see what Krause...
I picked up this amongst a lot of British coins today at auction. As it is not part of my core collection aim, I plan to take to market on Sunday...
To answer the questions: I don't know if many people collect Maundy in the US - I would hope so! They are attractive and interesting. Yes Maundy...
