A couple to offer for 1740 - GB Halfpenny and a Zeelandia Duit, the latter probably with @coin_nut now: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Good to see CT back at last! Well done for anyone involved in fixing the issue. Only one new acquisition for me during the absence - this 1686 GB...
What is the story with that Malta 4 Tari? The date looks to me like 1657 - did the counterstamp re-issue it at a new date? Interesting piece whatever.
GB 1741 Sixpence: [ATTACH]
Ah yes - I have his book - "Folkes Tables of English Coins" London 1763.
Excellent - thanks for that! I was going by the auction house description, so it seems they did not know what they were talking about.
Finally this is a Copper Star Denier of Bohemond III in Antioch 1163 to 1201 CE - a Crusader coin: [ATTACH]
These two are way outside my usual field, but they seemed cheap! First is labelled as a Silver Abbasi of al-Mansur dating 754 to 775 CE. Second is...

Difficult to see - is this the missing WW on truncation coin from the recent Noonan's sale?
Here is the GB shilling for 1745 - this one without the "bragging" LIMA below the bust and instead with roses in the angles on the reverse. This...
Seems to have gone quiet here so I will move us on to 1747 - a GB Shilling: [ATTACH]
Good to see this thread resurrected! A few more that I don't think I have posted before: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Lets go back a bit further. These two just arrived from Auction: Celtic Britain, Dubonni Silver Unit ca 20 to 43 AD: [ATTACH] Celtic Britain,...
Mid 18th century is a difficult period for me. I collect mainly British coins and not many were produced in that period. Here is quite a decent...
My best George I Crown is also from 1723 - the "South Sea Bubble" era: [ATTACH]
