i purchased last night.

 

Wow Outstanding coin!
Dam you got lucky finding one in this grade.

 

I'm addicted..
After looking for the wolfenbuttel Prince regent legend coins and the east Friesland 1 & 2 Stüber a while I eventually got the P.R 24 Mariengroschen and a 1 Stüber.

Today I found these 2 and had to have them, I'm thankful to have found them since the Stüber in any grade is hard to find and I rarely see the P.R legend too and when I do it's usually aF.

 

im so stoked i just got my pcgs grades back from a 6 jul submission economy. ill post pictures when they are added...

We allowed that the Straits were British above, yes? So this coin is on the Square.

 

i believe straits, borneo,east india, canada and others all were British at some point yes. i would think coins from those periods of "occupation" would be acceptable

 

Here one

 

British Empire, most assuredly.

 

There have been a lot of English pennies posted, but here is one a little closer to home. 1 Penny, Bank of Upper Canada, 1850
It's dated 1850, was struck in 1851, but didn't get to Canada until 1852. I dig St. George, and believe his dragon was was real, but was a lost salt croc. Benedetto Pistrucci's British design has wings, but you know artists. I like the size, 33.2 mm and 15.4 g, 3 mm thick. For British proof, check out the Union Jack at 2 o'clock on the rev. The Rev. is part of the "Upper Canadian Coat-of-Arms". Mintage: 750,000

 

1881 Newfoundland Fifty Cents, only short two for my year set

 

well i bought my first condor token. fell in love with the ship design...

United Kingdom Great Britain
Conder Token

29mm (10.30 grams) No Date
Circa 1780-1810

PROSPERITY TO OLD ENGLAND, Hope standing left.
HALF PENNY, Ship sailing right

 

You are SO right about that ship.

 

Here's one (1854 1/2D) i sniped for 20$ i think it should hit XF~AU.

 

pcgs finally posted the pictures

My new purchase.
One shilling 1887.
