Thanks for the confirmation!
Au contraire mon ami. FDC is perfect, but proof. These are not uncirculated....Uncs can be FDC but highly unusual. If these are not proof then...
Fleur de coin = FDC = usually proof. Of course the coins have not circulated so are "Unc" These coins appear obviously, at least to me, proof.
Ah yes, that would be the palladium (IMHO) version that may be more properly a type of half sov pattern
I could be wrong but side to side the matte florin of 1927 and the matte pattern reverse seem to show slightly larger lettering on the latter and...
Mmm, the nicer of the two currency but not the proof - which I wish I had gotten. I didn't purchase at Bole directly so got this through the...
To confuse matters further there is a year 2000 Bahamas dollar coin struck in copper nickel that is a commem for 2000 years of Christianity but...
Yikes, what city? Anyway, we all do have to not just give it lip service but actually to be careful with what people know and how and where we...
Well, it may be Wyon after all. In better photographs the Victoria bust appears similar to half sovereigns & am inclined to think it is after all...
Hmmm, possibly of the Royal Mint - they used that in place of obverse design on many patterns of the 1920s through ‘40s.
With all due respect the 1869 penny is rare in higher MS 64-65 grades but readily matched in rarity by the sixpence in similar grades as a quick...
Yikes I don't know but looks like one of those by Wiener or similar. Does not look like a Wyon or other better engraver.
That coin is being imaged now so should be up in the next week. Well, if my eyes have not totally failed then some of the fine differences may be...
Umm, I can get the first by Cert # on slab, the others I will try if possible to get the coin numbers of. First coin cert. # is 44094432
Mintmaster Graham struck a trial of sorts in, I think they called it Hydrogenium (sp?), that was a trial obverse with an awkward head of Vicky...
Would not paste, so here is an ordinary proof reverse: [IMG]
Matte proof of 1927 Florin (again Mackennal and not Kruger-Gray)[IMG]
And here is the pattern & closer to the actual florin released in 1927, also apparently of great rarity (please note the very rough planchet...
Hi all, here is a wonderful coin that as best as can be determined is unknown otherwise and NOT in Bull or ESC. This was struck on the engraving...
1869 was a stellar year for British coins with rarities in some series, and in particular the well-known Penny which deservedly brings interest...
