Yes, one of my favourite coins too. Only issued in the one year as they proved unpopular. They survive in decent condition quite frequently,...
For some reason I don't seem to have posted this one, which arrived a few weeks ago. 1691 GB Crown, William and Mary with my favourite reverse...
Instinctively I wanted to say less than 50% would be a fragment, but the relevant dictionary definition is "an isolated or incomplete part". I...
If we are sharing, here is my example. Not as good as the OP I would say, but the best that has come my way so far: [ATTACH]
Just in case you hadn't realised, your friend's groat is from Mary's reign before she married Philip of Spain. Your groat is from after that...
For many GB collectors of hammered coins the formal Grade is irrelevant. Much more important is the overall eye-appeal. That coin has it! With the...
Yes, the 1847 "Gothic" Crown is much sought after and deemed by many British coin collectors the most attractive Crown we ever produced. Subject...
Yes, the bull head coins were part of the Second Great Recoinage, which started in 1816 and basically set the size and style of British coinage...

Well, here is a real rarity for any GB coin collectors! William II (Rufus) Penny, S1259, believed to be Osbern of Salisbury, 1087 to 1100 AD: [ATTACH]
I can do 1653 with this GB Commonwealth Shilling: [ATTACH]
The only coin I have for 1658 is this GB Cromwell shilling, a cast copy! [ATTACH]
Struggling to get any GB coins I need at prices I can afford, so I stepped into the dark side and picked up these two non-British Crowns over the...
On UK grading I would give this one "Fine". I can't confirm on US grading - probably one or two grades higher. The 1758 is the commonest of the...
When I saw the title of this thread I was ready for the usual well worn examples that some chancer was expecting to make a fortune from. But those...
Here is the last of my GB date run, a 1662 Crown. After this my contributions will be sporadic through to the 1550s and non-existent thereafter!...
@Chris B has already done the GB 1663 Crown, so here are the shilling and the Half Crown: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
