Thanks Krispy, useful to know...
Its not likely that he will be able to do this unless he happens upon a particularly daft or desperate seller and manages to snap it up before...
I'm trying my hand at conserving some coins. I don't have a chemistry degree or background (gave it up when I was 16), but I thought it might be...
Upon further research, it would seem that the Royal Mint prefers to do this via the banking system (probably to stop people demanding payment for...
Oops. Thread necromancy...
However, you might want to take a look at US tax law etc. Here in the UK, Sovereigns and Britannias are tax free, foreign coins are subject to...
The Royal Mint in Llantrisant will redeem old coins for their face value, much as the Bank of England does for old banknotes. The shop I work at...

The first one looks like a cast fake to me from the photo. Also, the plural for denarius is denarii...
By the way, I decided to include the 5p pieces in my collection, both old size and new, on account of the fact that they are the direct...
I'm in the process of doing the same thin, but my Liz I shilling is nowhere near as good as yours I might upgrade later, once I've finished...
That's a nice Ed VII 2and6 there. They're getting quite difficult to find in reasonable grade in any given year....
