still to be engraved...just need to find someone trustworthy. ....... 🤔😟

🤔 yeah I get it..I have a 1930's Nickle 5 Cents the native (Liberty) Indian, it was in a poor way, I polished down the other side until blank, I'm having "Non Mortuus Tamen" added. its going to be a zip pull tag inside my Bike Jacket.🤘🏻 👊🏻

for me...Begs the question....Why would you attempt this?

awwwwwww?????? you cant just leave it now, been thinking this over for awhile... need to know what is all about. 🤔

I dont think these have been show by me, undated... the lower one look like it may have a cracked die, albeit not currency and only, model / toy coins...

Not Mine, its a commonly heard yarn, on this occasion it was the wife's co-worker talking about the things they do ?!?!? I tend to let the conversation just go in one ear and out the other as its very Very rare that it will be of any remote interest..... " ah my aunties cousin brother uncles mate who has a dog with one eye had passed away and was asked to clear their crap and found a match box with old coin inside!" I was nudged "Old Coins!" huh??? oh now I see... 😮 are they worth anything???? the photos arrived hence the long winded intro.... I could tell them what the scrap price is as they have been circulated but it seem a bit harsh... if by chance anyone can take the time to advise as to the Grade and a better Idea what they may be worth would be of a great help. the Shillings I noted 1864 and 1874 have die No's which for me is a nice talk point.......Many thanks "H"

it could be a snuff box, just a thought...... very interesting. 👍

ah yes, you are correct, I put this down to the warm weather and lack of sleep 1641-3 Triangle circled. the condition is also to be my fault, it was mixed in with loads other coins for ages and just ended up being roughly handed......ooops 😕

Rummaging away today, and found this ...... Charles 1st Hammered Silver Shilling, under parliament ? 1639 - 1640 mm Triangle circled any comments / opinions greatly welcome many thanks "H"

the crock clip biting to the coin is of concern, I use tweezers that are plastic, rather than metal, .....just an observation, 👍

I do have a wash a coin disorder🤔 however I don't polish them, obvious circulated damaged ones get slotted in until like on this occasion they get rotated and then the lesser quality will finds its way onto ebay, its quite therapeutic and if I'm honest this should of taken place ages ago...I just didn't have the time back then....many thanks for the assistance I can mull these things over and on occasion ended up keeping duplicates....I sure I'm not the only one..👍

whilst sorting coins out I tend to find that there's already a dated coin in the "keep" folder, then its a case of weighing up what is the better grade of the two..... most I have (as you know 🤔) do come with circulation damage, but I always take a closer look at duplicates and see if there is a better option to keep... the (1816 Shilling) one on the right was in the folder, the one on the left is a contender to be an up grade..... it looks better to me, so I would appreciate a second opinion... before committing to swapping them around. 👍cheers

I can see this as a possibility, and I did test the water with the family....little interest on any front other than "What's it worth?" or..... I could consider a Viking Burial ? 🤔 in regards to the future of my coins... nothings been set in stone ,,,,or been put in a slab 😉👍

"It is still a classic example of being reminded to grab the best you can afford because that's better than none. " couldn't agree more with this statement...its kinda the way I've been through life, I was "Collecting / Hoarding ?!?!" in a day of uncertainty with recession ..... times moved on and over everything....once I was asked Why??? rubbed worn out scrap??? its what's around and what's I can afford, yeah! some good...some bad....but good to have a something to show for my efforts...the slab thing I don't get either is it just hype or what ultra purest collectors really want?? how many of mine can be considered to be slabbed?? However, I must admit I'm considering at one point in history I will auction all the silver coins off, and buy a single gold coin with the proceeds, this will be a heirloom and to remain within the family........

many thanks Nick, its great to be able to see a comparison, subtle differences but great to be able to see how they compare, many thanks for the input, greatly welcome. 👍

so I have a 1893 Shilling.... good condition 👍 I then read a reference to a 1893 small lettering but no images were provided.... following on I then found... Small obverse lettering with rare die pairing. Davies 1010A - dies 1C (the reverse type typically found on small rose 1895 and 1896 shillings with lines extending from the gaps between petals on the rose) by chance is anyone up on this reference??

I also recently discovered these 2 commonwealth coins amongst my box of Hammered Coins, rubbed but nice to have all the same, ......£737.48 😲 gosh!

wow, I spent ages with Spink, was right at the point of giving it a Group letter.. then discovered no inner circles, were as mine has.......! I couldn't find mm, however I did read pellets and was wondering..... Rob your examples are nice...in typical fashion mine leave a lot to be desired mucky detail an all .... 🤔 however! again pleased I've manged to slot another one in the page of Pennys. many many thanks Rob its been a great help 👍

as far as I can tell its....... Charles I 1 Penny possibly 1630 - 32 Oxford? Weight 0.46 Grms not totally sure what group it could be? 🤔 all and any clarification greatly welcome. 👍

translation, Russian to English, 👍 Hi everyone, I've recently acquired a Victoria Young Head Shield Back Half Sovereign from 1844 and protected it from macro photography access. While examining the reverse, I noticed what seems to be a very distinct Repunched Date (RPD). The doubling/repunching is particularly visible on the last two digits ("44"). On the last digit, there is a very clear structure inside the triangle of the number 4, as well as an extended alignment of the stems to the right and down. I've attached two high-resolution macro photos (files from standard 1000017922.jpg to 1000017923.jpg) showing the details. I would really appreciate any input, expert opinions, or catalog references regarding this type of feature. Is this a known variety of the 1844 Shield Half Sovereign, and how rare is it? Thanks in advance for your help!

its the same with me and the lack of fascination of the 1 Penny's, the Die No's seem to have grown as I work through what I've had for a long time waiting to be sorted out,...odd how these now become a bit of an obsession.... enjoyable all the same 👍I believe its possible they will become more of an interest...not necessarily in my life time....I just hope someone in years to come appreciate these being now in a Date / Die No order.... 🤔

Adding additional engraved coins found.... interesting I understand the meaning of KISMET..... but could it be it was owned by a member of the KISMET Foundation? 🤔

Finding good graded coins has been good of late, another box of coins processed and this 1915 Shilling George V although heavily tarnished its quite a good grade, the lions nose seems a bit rubbed, but the rest seems un touched, vast improvement on the one I already had.... 👍🙏

found some more Shilling Die numbered dates....👍
