Hello! I'm trying to identify this piece but not entirely sure where to start. My starting guess would be 19th/early 20th century Indian subcontinent, but any help much appreciated! Thanks, Clive.

Best example you'll ever find! Assuming the example is fake and damaged...

Cash on collection...

Bargain!

To be clear, I do not believe it to be genuine... PAS reports (although there's no record of this coin) are also awaiting validation, so many coins like these are submitted by local FLOs but then pending confirmation from numismatic specialists.

Coins Mounted in Dish - But How...?

Perhaps! I don't remember any similar lots and couldn't find any from a quick search though. -
Coins Mounted in Dish - But How...?
HistoricCoinage posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've come across this remarkable dish that looks like it has what would've been an impressive coun collection embedded in it (sadly polished smoothly...). Does anyone know how they were set in it and whether the coins could ever be removed? Thanks! -
This look suspiciously like a roughed up modern replica to anyone else? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204158103225?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2_uh5A_cSAi&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=G6uCbYI7QUO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I was just amused by the 'fake' spelling of Withers. 😉

The 'Whithers' is a giveaway, too!

Blank for a Brass Threepence?
HistoricCoinage replied to HistoricCoinage's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thanks for your replies, everyone! I'll do some more digging. I would assume the Royal Australian Mint, judging by John's alias. -

No proof, sadly. It's from a collection formed in the '40s and '50s I'm working my way through. -
Blank for a Brass Threepence?
HistoricCoinage posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've come across what I believe to be a blank for a nickel brass threepence. It weighs 6.84 grams which fits, but I've never come across one before as I imagine they'd have been hard to smuggle out of the Mint. (I also wasn't expecting it to be circular as I'd never thought about how the geometric shape would've later been made!). Has anyone else come across something similar? -
Me? Thank you! Been nearly two years but had a strong urge to check out my old haunts. Hope you're all doing well!
