Victoria or maple leaves next. [IMG]
(Oopsie. Disregard. I moved this coin to Post #1078 above.)
Wow! Seven lions! I'll see your seven lions and raise you seven lions plus a really tiny Saint George slaying the dragon. (A detail which, I am...
Perfect CircCam, there! Continuing the Victoria or "multi-lion" theme ... [ATTACH]
Aye, don't feel bad, mate, 'cause it happened to me several times too. I was all happy when I found some 1812s in my archives, only to find that...
Yeah, me too. I wonder how long it took for someone to learn.
"An American in Paris", perhaps? The name "Frank H Green" sounds American, anyway. My hunch is that this a Victorian travel souvenir. It was...

It's an interesting story, and an interesting place I'd love to visit. Wikipedia has the story of the coins and shows one in their History...
For five bucks, pretty good, I say. Major score? No, but not bad at all for the money. I don't see any slab candidates here, but it's fun stuff.
Stalled, eh? Sorry. "Medieval hammered gold" is a tough theme to follow. Don't forget the "24-hour clause" from Post #1, which states, So now...
I have never certified any of my detector finds. Most aren't worth the expense of stabbing (slabbing- ha! I caught you that time, Autocorrect!)....
I guess it's because I wanted one of those back in the early 1990s during my mostly British coin phase, but never got one. Then I won your...
