World Coins: Your Newest Acquisition!

The term "dump issue" is used for British Halfpennies dated 1717 to 1719 and Farthings in 1717. Nobody seems too sure why "dump" but the coins were smaller and thicker than previous and subsequent issues. It may be because they looked as if someone had "dumped" a pellet of molten copper on the die and then pressed in the other half - but that is only a guess.

Many other foreign coins are also termed "dump issues" - particularly in India and central Asia.

HB_modern, Very nice coppers and bronzes, I really like the Gibraltar token.

 

My first world coin purchase in many, many years. Always wanted a "Wildman"!

 

Great coins, H8. Love the vicky gold too.

Very nice, always wanted one too. Nice toning on it as well.

 

Very nice!. I have looked at getting one of these off and on for years. I never could find one as nice as yours at a price I was willing to pay.

 

Recent arrival for my type set. Nice surfaces and color. I am very pleased with this one.

 

Got these two at the flea market. Norway 50 Ore and Sweden 2 Ore

 

I've always liked that design of 1/2/5 Ore, but I've never actually picked any out when I've visited the LCS.
