      Hi all, I have two sets of gold sovereigns that I’m looking to sell and I’m after some expert opinions: the two sets: 1989 Proof Gold Sovereign 4 Coin Set 500th Anniversary Boxed   & 1987 Proof Gold Sovereign 3 Coin Set Boxed   - how much I should be looking for each set? - best place to sell? - should I keep hold of them with the price of gold at the bottom?   TIA

      1882 NO H Penny

      By BronzeVF · Posted

      Hi I have just joined the forum because I would like to ask a question concerning the 1882 No H penny. If a coin has all the details below and no Heaton mint mark is it certain to be a London minted coin? Obverse: - R & I don’t touch. - the tuft of hair which is not on the Heaton minted examples. - The hair ribbon which does not terminate in a point like the heaton coins. - Victoria has a hooked nose compared to the straighter bridge of the nose displayed on the Heaton coins. Reverse: - 186 border teeth with 13 teeth between 1 and 2. - thinner waist/ trident shaft. many thanks in advance.

      1820 Shilling H over Horizontal H question.

      By Ukstu · Posted

      Someone has took a genuine 1820 coin and altered it to 1817 then cast it i assume.  Anyway....I found the paper's that Gary Oddie wrote if anyone is interested. They are all on the link here...https://britnumsoc.blog/2021/10/09/counterfeit-shillings-of-george-iii-1816-1820-iv-a-contemporary-mould-revisited-gary-oddie/

      1820 Shilling H over Horizontal H question.

      By Ukstu · Posted

      I assume there must be a known genuine die of this overdate? Must be cast surely.   Then again that makes no sense. Why overdate it with an older date. Very odd. I wonder if the word got out that 1820 shillings where being counterfeited thus giving extra scrutiny to coins with that date so the forger altered the date to take some of the scrutiny away 🤔

      1820 Shilling H over Horizontal H question.

      By Ukstu · Posted

      Sad news about Gary. I never met him but heard lots of good things about him. He was born in the town i reside in. I just dug my shilling out as this post had sparked my interest. Never even noticed it before but it's got a clear overdate. 1817 over 1820. That's something i have never seen in a counterfeit coin before.
