    Hello Sophie and welcome. Further up in the thread there was a mention of an aluminium coin case. I have a brand new one you can have for just the postage cost if you decided to go down that route. It was a gift to me which I have never used as I chose to store my coins in quadrum capsules. Just PM me and let me know

    It does look like there should be something at the top - perhaps a storage drawer as you suggest. It looks like a nice cabinet though - would it be worth taking it anyway and having something made to fill the gap? You could then customise it to suit. Even if there is a couple of drawers missing it's still a really nice example and as Mr B says you can always get a couple of drawers made to your requirements

    It's the angle of the photo zoo, have a look at the original further up the thread and you see what I mean

    There appears to be a couple of higher grade ones but all look cleaned, the coronation medal is particularly nice. Without a close up photo it's difficult to tell about the 1877 florin.

    Only just noticed this post zoo, they're all nice but really like the second from the left

    My latest addition, as I don't have the coin yet these are the dealers pictures. This is my first Anne error

    Yes your right Dec, the die numbers started in 1864 through to 1879. The coin in question does look like an 1874

    Just a random thought on the colour of the boxes, was the different colours from different outlets? a bit like the modern crowns which came in the plastic wallets with 'Midland bank' 'Barclays' 'Lloyds' etc

    British Silver coins by Peter J Davies Since 1816. I bought a copy a month or so back to read up on Victoria shillings and its proving very useful

    I personaly don't collect pennies but i have sold a couple in this condition, nothing rare but they still made £10 and £12 each which I considered quite respectable
  12. will1976
    There's just so many of them, reported too

    Hopfully I'll make it too the next one
  14. will1976
    I couldn't get the sticky label off it otherwise I'd have done it with the foil. Oh and it's now a quarter penny!!!

    I saw it and couldn't resist! How was the fair today? I wanted to come but couldn't make it
  16. will1976
    Its actually chocolate Rob, my attempt at being funny!

    I couldn't make it to the midland coin fair today but I did find this little beauty in my local shop, it's a bit of a weak strike and it does have a nasty die crack running through the obverse but it has lovely chocolate tones too it...........

    The more you look at it the more It's 'wrong' look at the nose and mouth

    And some of the category's his listing them in ?!?!?!
  20. will1976
    I have no idea how it's happened but I like it!

    I did see the 1863 shilling zoo but never noticed the markings. I passed it by for another which I shall post up when it arrives as id like opinions on it, hopefully that will be tomorrow

    Adds to the fun as long as you keep your expectations low! lol

    I too have had a few bargains off the bay with regard to unofficial farthings, all comes down to the description and if your prepared to trawl through the crap. A favourite description seems to be 'Victoria token' which can mean any number of things!

    Unless I'm missing something you can't even tell the time with it!

    Thank you that puts my mind at rest somewhat, I know there are forgeries of some dates but as this is quite a common date I'm sure it's fine. At the moment I don't have a camera so can't upload any pictures
