I posted this coin in Exonumia a few days ago - Indian Temple token loosely based on the Half Anna of the Bombay presidency 1834. I think it is...
A couple of lovely pick ups at the market today: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] On the left - Henry VIII Half Groat S2343, Second coinage (1526 to 1544),...
Well what do you make of this one? I assume it is a pastiche of an East India Company Half Anna - but does anyone know any more? Absolutely...
I am already afraid! Afraid that I am addicted to this hobby - I have been building my British collection now for 15 years and my enthusiasm to...
Yes - a very interesting period. Here is a Charles I halfcrown from that time - not as good or as scarce as the pound but still nice. [ATTACH]
Thanks! Not really my area but it looks like a tourist copy to me. I think they took some licence with the use of the "re-strike" term. "Replica"...
I think you are going to have to upload some better pictures - I can't even begin to work out what these are from that pic!
Hi LuLu11 - welcome to coin talk! It would be a good idea to go to the "Introductions" forum by clicking on "Forums" at the top of the page....
Wow - I had no idea they had got so pricey! I see some on Amazon at present for £180 for the two. I picked mine up at a coin club auction a few...
Yes I got the same answers out of Krause. I rather hope, with the Indian interest in their old coins, it is worth a little more now!
That's briliant! Thanks for that - I will look it up.
I bought this on the off chance that it was British, but as far as I can see it is not. Any ideas? It is very small and is white metal, presumably...
Yes - Spinks has occasionally carried out renumbering processes to allow for new information on coins. In the following year they then put old and...
Fair point - I was going on the dates of the first coinage, and as you say, the various Saxon tribes had been settling for some time before that.
I think most people would say that the Saxon period, certainly in the South of England, runs from around 600 AD to the defeat of Harold II at...
Yes indeed - a fascinating period of history - the gradual coming together of a (reasonably) united Saxon England from several smaller kingdoms...
My best pickup today: Edward VI Shilling, S2482 mintmark y, 1551 to 1553. This is actually a duplicate for me, but I could not refuse! I hope you...
Wow! You have some beauties there! I am very envious - particularly the Harthacnut and the Alfred Danish copy. Both would fill critical gaps in my...
Sadly not! It is made of the usual lightweight white metal of the time - I heard it called "Mudi-metal" at one time?
Picked up this today - not scarce but a nice portrait and detail. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
