Hello again got some more coins today.Got these today in a collection of coins i bought at a market. The Hammered ?? coins look like reproduction coins.1 of the other coins looks like play money counter.I paid very little for theses coins.I would like to know if the US coin had no hole would it have any value.Thanks Jordan (8)
I agree, the supposed ancients are copies of some sort. The WRL probably has something to do with who issued them. And even without the hole, the nickel is so badly worn it would have little value. The large copper coin is just what it says it is - an 8 doubles, issued by Guernesey, a British dependency off the coast of Normandy in the English Channel. The coin has verdigris though, be careful and do not store it with your other coins as it will spread to them. The item with COUNTER on it is just that - a game piece likely. The other copper coin I cannot help. But someone else will probably recognize it.
Hello The WRL logo on those "Roman coins" is the label of a firm making them : Winter Reproductions Limited 49 Frederick Street, Birmingham, B1 3HN You can find those reproductions in museum shops for a low price. And they are sold as reproductions. But some people find clever to sell them as genuine, sometimes they even try to remove the WRL thing. Cucumbor
The Red Book value of the Liberty Head nickle (1883-1913) without the hole would be in the range of $15-625 in that condition.
Aacoins,the 8 Doubles from Guernsey is the very interesting coin. There were 8 Doubles (pronounced 'doobles') in a Penny (1d.). Aidan.
