Let's See Your Copper Coins, Tokens, Or Medals!

Not my best, but lovely and interesting all the same

[Paulus 1,942]

New arrival. All sorts going on with this, Halfpenney and Payble errors, A over V or inverted A in Halfpenney.  Plain edge.

 

 

Seller's pics, my own pending

Edge: "GOD SAVE THE KING AND CONSTITUTION X X"

I'll see if I can take clearer pics

Edit - better pics (hopefully)

And I got this one of one of my favourite towns. Lots of lustre and proof-like fields, hard to photograph ...

Edge: "PAYABLE AT DALLYS CHICHESTER X X X X "

Purchased this token about a month ago. Just got around to photographing it. It has a good amount of red remaining, and the detail work is just stunning. I really don't like red copper coins, but this one has mellowed enough for me to like it.

1795 Yorkshire, Halfpenny token (DH-63)

What an exceptionally beautiful copper token! I wouldn't have any compaints having it in my collection!

I agree. The detail is amazingly good.

The detail may be great but not the actual history - cliffords tower was actually made of wood circa 1100 not stone as on the token there are reports that it burned down circa 1190 and was rebuilt in stone , therefore the picture on the token is a pure fabrication of the real thing

Pattern halfpenny

[Paulus 1,942]

Unusually pink toned

Ordered this from Rob last night, looks to have some nice toning  (halfpenny)

 

[Rob 2,998]

Bored. Not strictly copper, but I'm not going to make a 'Let's see your bronze' thread. ex Clarke-Thornhill 835.

[Rob 2,998]

1844 Third farthing. Not the best picture, but an ok coin.

[Rob 2,998]

Edward VI base penny of York. And before anyone complains, it's about 75% copper

This landed on the doorstep today. P989. Unsurprisingly it becomes the representative example of a flawed die.

I recently made some Victorian bronze acquisitions to my collection:

Victorian pennies of 1867, 1882-H, and 1885.

[PWA 1967 1,840]

They are quality but probably better in one of the penny threads not copper.

Hat off and nice coins 

[Paulus 1,942]

Bath farthing token - weird sizing of the date numbers but normal for the issue perhaps!
