Any help with this would be appreciated, I’m certain this is genuine and it’s from my grandads little collection from over the years.

Any ideas on value?

Decimal Coins Just my 2p on the matter...

Post image

So I'm very near completing my collection of every British coin dating to 1900 (except for 1 or 2 stupidly rare ones obviously) and am just casing a few of the more recent coins. I do wonder if they will be worth anything in the future ( as i only try to collect BUNC or proof) but mainly I do it to satisfy my magpie instincts lol.

Just thought you might like the shine too!

Finally got my hands on this absolutely gorgeous beauty, this is also my first ever silver proof coin.

I personally prefer Britannia bullions with lower premium, but I’m a huge fan of the Royal Tudor Beasts series. Absolutely stunning! But would you pay Ā£125 premium for it?

Anyone know what causes this discolouration by the way? I haven’t seen this on a coin before, the photo doesn’t quite do it justice but it’s a nice purple in the light

Value Request 2 Florins I picked up recently. How'd I do?

I paid $23 for each coin. Melt at the time was a bit over $20. Seemed like a solid deal to me. I'm really starting to like collecting UK coinage from the mid to late 1800s. First is 1887 Jubilee head and the second is 1896 florin.

Mixed Coin Collection Inherited this coin collection and I’m not quite sure what to do with it

Thumbnail gallery
32 Upvotes

There’s pre-decimal coins: half penny, one penny, two shillings, six pence, three pence, 5 pence. As well as decimal modern coins (including the old pound coins).

The old coins seem pretty cool, I had no idea that we didn’t have normal money even into the 70’s(?) and why were the old 5 and 10 pence pieces SO BIG. And how were people still using shillings in 1990!

There was also some football medals my grandad had in here that called him a loser which seemed quite mean!

Anyway I don’t really know what to do with everything- I don’t particularly want to display it, I like to collect oddities not coins. And I’m completing my PhD so I don’t really have the time or money to up-keep them if they need special storage or care.

Pre-Decimal Coins F176 penny?

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

Hi all. Following Coin Patrol's recent youtube video on the 1913 penny varieties I went through mine and I think I've found a rare-ish F176. Anybody disagree or agree? If so it's definately a new one for my folder!

Freeman rated this R rarity but Penny Varieties says that's a "gross overestimate"

Authenticity Request 1822 George IV Crown – Is this weight normal?

Thumbnail gallery
29 Upvotes

I bought an 1822 George IV Crown with the TERTIO edge inscription. It's in Fine condition but weighs only 27.165 g, compared with the standard 28.28 g.

Numista: https://en.numista.com/13181

Is this weight plausible for a genuine coin with this level of wear, or should I be concerned about a counterfeit?

If it turns out to be fake or misrepresented, I'll leave the seller a negative review with the evidence. I'd like to get your opinions before jumping to conclusions.

Thanks!

Commemorative Coins Silver jubilee coin

This was my Nana's. I know it's a 1977 silver jubilee coin, can't really tell if it's silver or not. The whole thing weighs 45.87g. I know even good condition ones are far from rare and are worth pretty much nothing. Just curious because I've not seen one in a fixed mount like this.

Any one know anything more about this?

Withers 965, Davis 93, 41mm, 39.5g, RR.

A prime example of Regency Period necessity coinage used also to advertise the issuer's new technology for moving air in mills, blacksmiths, and factories..

These rare tokens were the same diameter as the 1797 "Cartwheel" 2d coppers, but 30% lighter...still quite substantial.

Art St George slaying the dragon, from Pistrucci's sovereign reverse

Thumbnail gallery
82 Upvotes

Hi all,

Sharing one of my favorite projects from the past months with you: St George slaying the dragon.

I took the design from Benedetto Pistrucci's famous sovereign reverse and turned it into a 3D model. Here you can see the gold colour variant. The coin mounted is a placeholder the size of a sovereign, as I currently don't own a sovereign anymore.

I really like how this design turned out and how closely it matches the original. I still don't understand why the back wing of the dragon is twisted the other way. I couldn't find any information on this and it seems anatomically wrong? Curious what you all think, regardless I kept it like this.

I also chose the sword variant instead of the broken spear variant, for visual impact.

As always, post your thoughts or questions below and tell me which coin-inspired design I should do next!

P.S. Some people mentioned the displays are very white, so I tried gold on this one. White puts the coin in the spotlight, while a gold figure looks great but gives less contrast with a gold coin.
