This photo is from their website, resident coin specialist Ken Payne, perhaps grading a coin?

The Cromwell Crown piece sold at Heritage on Jan 12, 2004 for: $13,800.00 (£11,000 in real money at the time).
When taking the obverse dings into account it may seem steep, for some, at today's prices.
After taking another look, I think that the reverse saves it, beautiful!

Grab yourself a bit of the Edward VIII penny.
🤔why not model it in 3D, divide it up and number each piece and allocate a specific numbered piece of the coin to each buyer?. Then the concept of fractional ownership might have some meaning to a collector, i dont know.
I also wonder about the second hand market. It might be worth a punt in the short term. Shares will be on ebay for double the price or more before you know it.
Not really my cuppa tho’

On a more serious numismatic note:
Could this Aethelstan penny be proof, that Humpty Dumpty did, in fact wear a syrup?
Moneyer; unidentified (but the case is still open).

The first looks very much like V over A .. except that the bar looks much too thick? Given the thin-ness of the bar on an A it's also possible that it's simply worn right away on the die rather than being an unbarred A?
Yes Peck, certainly a possibility.

Doesn't do it for me. I think the design has somewhat fallen between too stools, and is not particularly inspiring. It doesn't look traditional or modern.
must it be traditional or modern? can it not be judged without categorisation?
Personally speaking, I think it looks mass produced and lacking any character so it leaves me stone cold, …. its bullion and i’d only pay spot for it.

Didn't Dave also get robbed several years ago on his way back from a Midland Coin Fair?

Heres a contemporary cast copy for 300-500 which tbh is an extortionate estimate imo. Nevertheless, its a good copy.
