hmm...i cant seem to...all i see is a red X in the top left corner...any ideas on what to do to see it?

is it just me or is my avatar not working?

i would say that the figure in the middle of the coin is in government (or something important), and the figures around him are sort of vice governments?

i dont see the point in drinking bottled water, its just tap water that gets filtered again...

your just old ...i never/hardly ever have my mobile on in school though

the size is just right for me, it just fits perfectly, in my school blazer pocket...

yes, but the: is definaty not german, it could be austria-hungarian (given the date), but they spoke german too...

i have got atleast 3 of each of the 2 coins, but i would say that theese are the best conditioned ones... could be, but i would find it very strange that my others are normal looking... i said sorry

could it have been cleaned

Nokia 82:10, had it for ages

I have just noticed that my 1943 halfcrown and my 1944 florin are whiter then the other's...why is this...i tryed to clean the half crown with silver polish (sorry ), and nothing seemed to shine apart from the letters...why?

yes, but people could go to their profile and change their birth date

hmm...in my collection all together, my oldest coin is the 1797 cartwheelpenny and my newest is a 2004 1 pence and 2 pence...but; out of my predecimal pennies: oldest = 1797 newest = 1970 proof i also do have a folder for storing todays money in: Oldest = 1968 10p (i like that one for some reason) Newest = 2004 1p/2p...

ok thanks for your help geoff

HPJ is an often suspect , i admit i also do it sometimes too

hmm...strange... oh yea, it comes in plastic case, like you sometimes see patern 1937 Edward VIII crowns in, but it has 1952 - 1977 on top...i do not know much about it, it came from my aunts who passed away last year, so i cant really ask her...

well, i have two silver jubilee crowns of Eliz II, one of them is the one that john described, and the other has the crown jewled in the middle of the rev. with the words; Celebrating The Silver Jubilee Of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II - around it. on the obverse it has the queens head with the words; Silver 1952 1977 Jubilee H.M. Queen Elizabeth II - around it...i am wondering why there are two types that both seem to be english...

what are the diferences?...i have a horse riding one and one with the crown jewels, why are they both from england (or atleast not with another country name)?

It's what Americans do to coins, in order to help them measure their personal wealth more accurately Basically it is the process of sealing a coin into a plastic holder (called a slab as a nickname). The holder is marked with the grading company's name, and the grade of the coin according to them. The coin cannot be broken out without damaging the slab. In my experience slabbed non US coins are often graded questionably, from the British slabbed coins I have seen. so like a capsule but a bit more protective...thanks

sorry, but what's 'slabbing'?

umm, i think there is a link at the bottom of the main forum page...

sounds like a commemorative type...but i am not and good with foreign coins... good condition...hmm...does it have lustre (shine)?...is it damaged (eg edge chippings)? you have to be a member to post pictures, its fast and free

well selling could be done through colin cooke, he has a range of foreign coins on sale...or even this site, but i do not know...eBay would probably be the easiest place to sell at, but your item may not reach its valued price...

dates would help!, if they are between 1860 and 1894 then giving an exact value might be hard, you would have to identify the types.

it usually matters on mintage, not how many were 'lost', the mintage is only 171,042 - whereas other 1919 sovereigns were in the million minted amount.
