Coins are in Thailand, Nick. You're not seeing things. I would personally steer clear of these. The Coenwulf's lettering looks too chunky and there are 'lips' at some places on the edges.The Siefredus also has an unusual looking flan and looks 'soapy'. I think you'd be wise to pass.

In a former life, yes. In the meantime I'm going to do some research here: https://www.gov.uk/find-local-trading-standards-office

There was someone actively working on building a legal case but I never heard any more of it. Trading Standards is one avenue and I know there was an episode of 'Fake Britain' for BBC being produced which featured him, as a few of us were asked by the production company about Mr Stocks but I don't think it ever aired.

It's an Australian 10 cents coin.

There are various ways to measure the purchasing power but this website should give you a breakdown. £0.39 using the retail price index £0.40 using the GDP deflator £4.83 using the average earnings £6.71 using the per capita GDP £27.90 using the share of GDP Looking at various records online it seems like a penny could get you a quart of beer around then, though.

eBay's automatic translation doesn't always work. Smelling of menthol... http://www.ebay.fr/itm/EXTREMELY-RARE-1887-M-SHIELD-SOVEREIGN-MELBOURNE-MINT-BRITISH-GOLD-COIN-R3-/361328349737?hash=item5420d91229:g:XWcAAOSwPcVVitHq

Very nice find! Thanks for sharing. -
I don't speak with authority on these types but they are very much indicative of Roman issues.

Looks like a Venetian soldino, but 6mm too large...

It's of Henry VIII's First Coinage and so dates between 1509-26. A picture of the other side would help determine grade and, thus, value.

Jetton/Token? Metal Detecting Find Identify?
HistoricCoinage replied to Jgesquire's topic in Ancient Coins
It's definitely a coin. Looks to be something like a Portuguese sixty reis coin from the 18th century. What is its diameter? -
Beautiful pieces!

If you can post images someone here might be able to help.

We had copper alloy issues in the Northumbrian kingdom (not the most beautiful of coinages...), but otherwise Colin is right in that we don't see any real copper until James I.

I'd gladly put money on it being a modern replica.

I use the Lighthouse/Leuchtturm and find them perfect for my needs.
