    3 Crowns.

    Charles II 1668

    Victoria 1845

    Victoria1892 

    This Is another challenge, I dont recall where I bought these, Its most likely a Boot Fair Circa 1980's 90's I really ought to have a valuation as nothing has been listed on insurance, Its quite possible that Ive had a charmed life of things looking back at some of the ones I've bought....Blindly!?!? I just believed that if I liked them and they felt good... it was good.... I keep putting off things as theres another zip bag of Hammered coins I found 4 weeks ago to go through......this could be a blessing...... or a curse!   😟

    The 1668 and 1845 crowns are scarce I would say, and worth a decent amount too.

    Thanks for the advice Paddy, appreciate the quick response.

     

    I’ve picked a few things up from local auctions and did a lot of bulk buys at the start when I needed/wanted the dates etc. Not sure there would be much I could get from going through the boxes now but you never know and will continue to look ☺️. What’s the next step? Have picked up a few from Michael Gouby’s site who was also incredibly gracious with his advice. Lot’s more sites with crazy prices!!!

     

    Example: I have 3 1860s that I can easily identify, and I’m sure I’ve overpaid for, but my 1865 (and many more) looks like I’ve made it myself 😂
     

    Any thoughts always appreciated.
     

     

    The Spink 'Coins of England' has colour pictures of lots of the Victorian bronze penny Obverses and Reverses, very useful. The latest one I have is 2022, but they have shown these pictures for many years.

    it was in one of those lovely plastic envelopes 

    can be bloody hard to open, I thought £7 was a good deal, so I coughed up and shoved it in my pocket...a done deal.....  

    until later on that day.... I took a look at the outer edge.....top & bottom holes drilled

    prized out of jewellery ? and you know even though you cant see them....I always know they are there. 

    please do show some of your horrors and let downs......its good to share...  👍

    £7 sounds ok to me, even with the holes.

    thank you 

    for helping him out The issue seemed to be that the Grading company had limited capacity to work out a tooth from a bead .  But once the gospel is set in plastic iti s hard to speak other than their  written word...  the worst one I had was a beautiful 1837 penny which was slabbed in fact a half penny.....  you just can't get the staff....

     

    Merry Christmas all  

    That is a shocker.
