Well that is uncanny - I had never seen one of these before but found one in an auction lot on Saturday. It went off to Oman this morning! I had...

A treat for myself this one - filling a long held gap in my sixpence collection. George II young head 1735 Roses and Plumes Sixpence. [ATTACH]...
I understand what you are saying @Bert Gedin but my collecting focus is British coinage. I don't really have the funds to do this but I have built...
This was another of coins I picked up at a local auction on Saturday. Nice to see a really clear picture of Charles X of France for a change:...

I usually hang out on the World Coins forum but I have been brought this by a farmer here in North Devon. Apparently found by his detectorist...
