Another fresh challenge.... it weighs 0.23g Civi Tas Lon Don...... can be read,...managed to get clear photos today..... any thoughts?

I'm not a modern coin collector...I use to keep an eye out for the undated 20p's and during the Olympics 50p's were circulating I sold them as I found them and made a good return on them.....and saw them reduce in price as time moved on....However today The 2025 King Charles III Bees £1 coin was in my small change....now its claimed to be currently the rarest circulating uk £1 coin, with only 170,000 entering circulation.......Is this true or just hype ? I see them on ebay for silly money but not wanting to get caught up with this game....

errmmm ok. this is as good as they get.....believe me its truly rubbed 🤷

a small test area on the outer edge may be an option before hitting of either of sides .... may be ethanol just a thought please see below 👍 Ethanol can clean silver, but it is important to use it cautiously. Isopropyl alcohol can help remove light tarnish and grease, but it may damage certain finishes. Pure ethanol is generally considered safe for silver, but avoid using denatured alcohol or those with additives. Prolonged exposure to alcohol can lead to subtle changes in silver's surface properties, so it's best to use it sparingly. For optimal cleaning, consider using 70% rubbing alcohol or an alcohol-based cleaner, ensuring no harmful additives are present. Always test on a small area first to prevent any potential damage.

.....its actually as the coin is.... if you take a look at the ruler the measurement is clear... a blurry coin with little to go on....its truly rubbed, washed and being only about 10mm in size..I was well impressed that www.HistoricCoinage.com was able help out. 👍🙏

well......these are ones that have been picked up years ago....I'm still working through boxes, what's to keep, what's to rehome... etc, I don't have this date and so.... I end up moving the coins on the page so they remain in date order.... its a real challenge wondering how many spaces to leave between coins just in case another one turns up....... 😟 Why? do I put my self through this????

1 Shilling - George II Young bust..... I do recall reading that during a reign coins often became worn due to their frequent use and circulation. was this the case with with George II that the coin become so bad such as this one ? Admittedly the reverse isn't so bad so ..... this has the next question.... how would this be graded?

Awesome...I really thought it was truly rubbed to oblivion .......thank you very much for the input its really helpful. 🙏

Hello Peckris. it is a William III 1696 Six Pence. measured in mm, apologise for missing out details, fatigue gets the better some days although I continue on..... all the best "H" 👍

aha... Another interesting find amongst the Hammered coins, a 1 Groschen (1 Grosz) 1624 its Polish–Lithuanian King Sigismund III Vasa silver , 👍

That's as far as I go I can tell that its long cross, hammered and possibly a Edward. It weighs 0.194 and in the pictures its measured in mm. could it be a farthing? to rubbed to identify? any input welcome 🙏

Many thanks, I've spotted a typo, its meant to read 1996 not "the 1692 looks .......wonky ?" its been a long day......🥱💤

to me its looks mis shaped, most of my milled coins are more circular, with this one I would appreciate any opinions the 1692 looks .......wonky ? would this have been turned out this way or happened through circulation?

??? its odd how these have found there way to me, The hammered ones that I picked up over the years and not realizing that they were from all over the world..... this is a Hungary Denier - Ferdinand II I think its 1622...but not being an expert so stand to be corrected if wrong 👍
