    Thankyou Jelida

    I have look at the auction you quoted. and they are still commanding a high price in some auctions.

    I have found many at a reasonable prices , and manage to acquire over 50 crowns in .925 silver some with a silver stamp on edge some not 

    I know the there were 20 Obverses and 27 Reverses . From the original sale on Wednesday 11th July 2001

    I was giving a list from Peter Jackson of another 28 different types, there are also many more , The Outlines types link to many different Obverses

    also George III

    Thats fine i guess coivd 19 is causing problems for us all , i do have Krause Unusual coin book.

    There are so many different types and Metals and Piedfort , but i am having some success now  and have over 120 different types .

    So it is a slow progress but with help form many collectors , it is slowly coming together.

    Thankyou VickySilver for your reply

    Look forward to see them . i have about 250 types , i did purchase the test pieces with the word model on the reverse and how Peter Jackson listed them from type 1 to 28,.

    I do have many Silver pieces , i find them so intriguing and beautiful . but now trying to write a book on they many different types, i find prices vary so much on the same piece, i guess dealers see them all differently, as for the Gold types they are just a dream, but still would like to know as much as i can about them.

    So any information will be greatly appreciated 

    Regards Tony

    I do have many of these crowns, i purchase the test pieces first which had MODEL on the reverse

    from Peter Jackson through Glen Ward, and started to write a book on them, but took a break for a few years .

    Yes these are the trials coins , I am the actual bidder on this item, but just cannot find any information or books on these Royal Mint trials, I have looked through many auction archives and have found many different types. but still looking for more information.

    Have you tried contacting the Royal Mint?

    I think that this is proably my only option, once again thankyou for your advice.

    Hello

    I am very interested in any Royal Mint Trial coins I have several of these but cannot find any information on any of thes coins , also, metals, mintages, edge types,and dates. I am a model coin collector and would like to add as many different types as possible. thankyou for any information and pictures in advance.

    Tony.

    Try a search on the major London coin auction sites (I think DNW in particular had a sale with a lot of trial strike pieces recently). Their archives usually have detailed descriptions and hammer prices together with pictures in most cases.

    Thankyou for your reply, i have used their site on many occasions and you are correct about their archives , I have printed all information on there sales on trial coins.

    I don't collect these, but many years ago I picked up a tiny copper with lustre - on the obverse was a baby's head and the legend ALBERT PoW (which as we all know stands for Prisoner of War :D ), while on the reverse is the legend arranged in horizontal rows TWELVE PENCE MAKE 1 SHILLING. Can't help you much further I'm afraid, but I'm sure there are one or two here who know more?

    Thankyou for your reply , Yes these were teaching coins by Onions , and there were many different types.

    Hello

    I am a Model Coins collector all UK types Pennies Crowns Fractions, i recently come across Donald R Golder Model coin, can anybody help me with this series. Regards Tony

    I believe he is a sculptor, most of his designs were used on commonwealth unofficial patterns, the only model I know he is attributed to is the jersey model 4 shillings.

    There are no references in Rodgers Toy coins.

    Hello Chingford, thankyou for your responce , i am a Toy Money Collector for 12 years and use Rogers book, i recently came across Model Coins from the patina collection and these are the trial pieces to test the striking of the different metals, and have the word MODEL on one side of the crown, but there are quite a few with DRG below the bust and were sold in a recent auction.

    Regards Tony

    Not TonyPlayMoney?? are you

    I'll dig around a little, I know of the 'Fantasy' pieces but thought only the Jersey coin had Model stamped on it, I should imagine that these are relatively new issues though.

    Regards

    John

    Hello Yes i am tonyplaymoney , i recently purchase 18 of the Patina Collection Model Test pieces, but it is the one,s with DRG below the bust , these seem to be the rarer type.
