This is actually from a London Coins auction from last year, and is listed by Southall in his tome on the Coins of Isle of Man. The City series...
Sorry don't have the 50c to post, but these have been graded PCGS specimen 66 and 65 for the Rupee, they say struck at London Mint - they look a...

Edges are just not crisp and sharp, even accounting for "cabinet wear". Also, these are available extremely proof like - similar to the other...
Well, that is an interesting and baseless response but I suppose not out of keeping. Hopefully you may one day let science and reason percolate...
Wow, that was a rather groundless and puerile immature reply! To which I will stoop to respond: I think you have a coin that has many suspicious...
Not quite sure what you mean? US Mint, I guess, not the Royal Mint. I think the US Mint has been quite forthright. I still buy Britannias from the...
You know, that last is a good point. Might be a bit embarrassing to let the actual figures out. On the other hand it makes for some rare and very...
LOL! Isn't that the truth! Not if you read their Facebook page where they supposedly entertain questions!!

I'm posting this mainly out of low level frustration: I started by collecting Franklin Mint issues of Jamaica as many sets of the early to mid-70s...
PS - BTW, if the experts at the auction house look at every item, then they may well not be experts. Not only that, even at leading NUMISMATIC...
I literally write the book. I have all coins in the series, the matte proof of 1927 and special issues of that date that were held by the Pretoria...
Interestingly, these don't seem to draw that much interest and as collectors apply more attention and magnification to details more overdates and...
I love statements like that - truly insightful and meaningful. What on Earth do you mean, perhaps you may enlighten us? And trot out your area of...
Yes indeed. I will try to start a separate OP on this tonite. I think some interesting things to share.
Oh yes, that is the Mauritius proof rupee of '71 - mintage 750 in copper nickel and struck by the Royal Mint. The Royal Mint has also had some...
