The 8 reale was commonly used in the orient because it had a trusted silver to weight ratio. Much like the Maria Theresa in Aden. The colonial...
Colin Gullberg (sp) he's the man who did chop mark coin news and has published a book. My display pic is my chopped British trade dollar. I've...
You're unlikely to find out more than it circulated in the orient. They were used as a tradesmans mark to accept them back at par this...
In that pic it looks like it's been cleaned :S I would just keep them both !
Yeah they were steam struck over 8reale coins. Ive seen a lot of fairly high grades.. I find it more desirable when the 8r details show through..
Yeah i love the shield. Recently acquiring crowns has been a theme for me too. The furthest back I'm at right now is only George V. It's an...
Perhaps the only one of this month I'll be buying is this one I've agreed to buy.. 24 mariengroschen 1821 MS63, this completes the types for me...
Well.. It certainly has the look of it. I work in a press shop (albeit making car panels) and usually you're talking a double blank or scrap build...
I always take one of each new coin out of circulation, however it's usually half hearted. This time I've been anticipating them coming since it's...
My last two weeks of change checking for the 2015 issues have gone very well. This year is a little more interesting though because they're...

Has anyone ever seen this on a coun I've been looking at ? There seems to be a raised spot it almost looks stylised but I can't find another like...
It seemed ok to me but the dot on the 7 in the date seems odd :S I've not seen another like it.
I'm thinking about buying this but I'm not totally clued up on the 8 reale coins. Can anyone help me decide if it's genuine or not ? It's 27.02...
I have a 3 shilling bank token forgery it's a contemporary too so I'm quite pleased with it ha !
I think if I remember right these coins were overstruck from Spanish silver, I know fact the dollar was but I think these smaller ones were too...
I'm addicted.. After looking for the wolfenbuttel Prince regent legend coins and the east Friesland 1 & 2 Stüber a while I eventually got the P.R...
Ok so I've spent a lot this month but I've also sold a lot to accommodate this. Typically after that stüber came up that I've been chasing a long...
Thanks it's a strange part of my collection since it both fits and doesn't ! It was never considered part of the empire but obviously had the...
