Picked up this one today as an upgrade for my James I Sixpence: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] So nice to get a decent portrait for a change!
... and then these 4 are because I am sure I can find someone who loves them! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Sorry - been shopping again. These first three are for me: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes there is an odd rough ring at the top. I had thought it was a lug from a possible suspender, but the jewel idea is also possible. Much as I...
I hadn't thought of it being shaved until @Numismat suggested it. I have just checked - weights 9.88gm, which is full whack for a halfpenny, so...
That is a possibility I considered. When I measured it it came out closer to the Halfpenny size than I expected - it feels a lot bigger. Still...
This came in with the most recent haul of random coins and medals. Clearly the Obverse is George II and the reverse is a crucifix and it would...
I have just listed some decent quality Silver coinage on Ebay at auction, including some scarcer dates and mintmarks. Please have a look:...

They do look good Mark, but I think something is doing excessive colour re-balancing on the coppers? I have found I have had to go over to a...
Received this one in the post today - fills another gap in my Halfcrowns date run - just need 1706 to complete the Queen Anne set. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have posted this in World coins already but I guess it should be of interest to the exonumia specialists too. I think it is the coolest token I...
I picked up this today at a local auction. I have to say it is the most beautiful (to me) piece of numismatica I have picked up for a very long...
Ah - if you want a Gothic portrait you need one of these: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This is the one portrait of Victoria on a coin that seems to come up least often - the Cyprus one. Here on a 9 Piastre dated 1901. Apologies for...
Of course if you want to see a better one, this will serve. As well as being rather lovely condition it is one a series of gradual die faults and...
