<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aslanmia, post: 325150, member: 11753&quot;]Hi folks,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I recently bought these four coins and I&#039;m having trouble identifying the last two. They get older as we go down the list... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sorry for all the white lint over the holders. I had just put on a new pair of gloves!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The first coin is a 1937 British silver Crown... a big heavy coin, it wouldn&#039;t quite fit into a standard dollar Airtite holder.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1937CrownA.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1937CrownA.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1937CrownA.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1937CrownB.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1937CrownB.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1937CrownB.jpg</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The second is a 1820 British silver Sovereign... it&#039;s got some heavy wear, but still a real beauty. Another big heavy coin, but this one fit in the standard dollar holder. It looks a little different then the pictures of 1820 sovereigns I&#039;ve seen... could it be a proof maybe?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1820SovereignA.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1820SovereignA.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1820SovereignA.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1820SovereignB.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1820SovereignB.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1820SovereignB.jpg</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The third coin appears to be some sort of Spanish Escaudo gold coin, as to how many escudos, I don&#039;t know. I believe it&#039;s stamped 1776. Fit easily into a quarter holder. If anyone could positively identify this coin for me, I&#039;d very much appreciate it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1776EscudoA.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1776EscudoA.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1776EscudoA.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1776EscudoB.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1776EscudoB.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/1776EscudoB.jpg</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The fourth coin is a complete mystery to me. It&#039;s obviously an ancient and I believe it is silver. Fit into a standard nickel holder. If anyone could positively identify this coin for me, I&#039;d very much appreciate it too!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: #006699"><a href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/Ancient01A.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/Ancient01A.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/Ancient01A.jpg</a></span></p><p><span style="color: #006699"><a href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/Ancient01B.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/Ancient01B.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/donna.penney/coins/Ancient01B.jpg</a></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
