The British Are Coming!!!Post British Empire Empire Coins.

Very nice ! I'm just in the process of putting my crown sized coins into quantum capsules and it's a coincidence that the only one I didn't have the size for was the Arabic 1 double florin I have

I've added a few more coins this week. Some haven't arrived.

Jubilee head crown:



Armoured bust bank token. Now short of only the armoured bust 3s

Tobago 2-1/4d black dogg upon cayenne colonie 2 sous, I now have this and a counterfeit upon a crowned C Stampee


Finally an upgrade. It should only be an interim one though as I want better

 

Great additions, Mark.

 

Thanks mate. I doubt next month will be as fruitful as this has been since we have the wedding/ honeymoon to pay for. I do hope for a few more buys though. My main target it to attain a 1933 wreath crown. I have the 1928 but want rid of it as '33 was my Granda's birth year

 

I have been out of commission but I am back at last. Here is my favourite British Commonwealth coin - the 1903 Straits Settlements trade dollar. Forgive me if I have posted it before - it has been a long time.

 

Nice silver, Paddy.

Nice, maybe in a month or two I plan on building a 1918 set of GB silvers, for my grandmothers birth year too. They seem cheap enough for mid grades.

 

It is a while since I picked up something new worth posting, but I think this is pretty nice. Australia One Crown (pre-decimilisation), 0.925 Silver, KM#34.

 

I've just bought this piece to upgrade my current Bahamas penny. I'm sort of concentrating on this area for the time being in making it a better collection but also making its contents better quality. I plan to upgrade my Bermuda penny next if possible

I'm not normally one to buy slabbed coins but if i can get the coin I want at a decent price I'll buy it raw or in the slab even. I would have liked it raw so i could quantum capsule it like the rest of my Windies coins of this time but I'm not going to break it out. It would be too much of a shame !

 

This turned up yesterday too ! Tobago 2 1/4 pence

 

Here are 2 sovereigns that were minted in Melbourne

 

The last day of the month brought 4 coins 2 new and 2 upgrades.

 

Just upgraded to this beauty too
You may notice that I've bought a lot recently but there's method in the madness as we're looking to start a family soon. I've seen how restrictive kids can be on collections so decided I best get some decent stuff for me to ogle for at least the next 18 years ha !

 

1701 Guinea William III....sorry about the quality of the photos.

 

I don't usually pick up tokens, but this one was such a beauty I couldn't say no....

 

Nice coins 1934 Wreath Crown & JJ!

 

Thanks @Mat

 

JJ
Get it graded if you can!

 

Was graded MS62 from ICCS, Angelo, personally I think it could be higher.

 

ICCS are very strict and don't use eye appeal to change grades so there's every chance it would grade higher from a US company although for Canadian tokens I would always prefer ICCS verification.

 

I got this yesterday. I'm awaiting one more in the post bringing my total to 3
