    1886 Queen Victoria shilling

    Yes bud it was in beside some detecting finds i bought. I just thought it would be silver all the way through. It looks like the silvering has come off in a thin layer.

    Gun money

    Hi again. I have this James II 1690 gun money coin which is not in great condition, but i am going to sell it and was wondering what sort of price ask for....if any!! Is there supposed to be a month on all of these coins? I can only barely make out what looks like an inverted Feb. As always any advice is appreciated.

    Another fake seller. This listing finished last night along with another three. He still has two listings to sell. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SILVER-DENARIUS-OF-JULIUS-CAESAR-ELEPHANT-3-65-g-VERY-RARE/123139771645?hash=item1cabb3ccfd:g:DpAAAOSw2VFa9sOJ

    It has certainly not got the sharpness to the lettering and the eye looks wrong too. All in all it looks rather flat compared to the coin on the left. I,ve bought from this guy in the past and never had any problems. But I would pass on this coin.

    Was there more than one variant of thec1913 George V shilling? The 3 on this one looks massive. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/semi-Key-date-1913-shilling-in-very-fine-condition-clear-legends-and-date/152990713103?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

  18. Hi. I have these two Thalers. One is different from the other. Would one of them be an early strike or is it because they were perhaps made in two different mints? Thanks in advance.
