Victoria Double Florin 1887 George III Half Crown 1st portrait 1816 fine details, but shame that there's dings to Victoria face, .......... 😒

another 2 coins worth showing in a respectable condition.... George V Half Crown 1914 Victoria One Florin 1864 1st portrait (Gothic) any ideas of the Grade these would be ?

one florins Victoria 1887 2nd portrait , nice condition considering some of the finds I have. George V 1st Issue, 2 x 1912, 1 x 1916

after sifting through some more boxes I found this Half Crown....I didnt realise I had it..... looking further in to its details this one has a slightly different Shield, I believe this is 1st Bust, 1st Shield, A remarkable find amongst my hoard, it was a reminder of the one Paddy showed me. 👍

William IIII Four Pence Fault, So.... another attempt to find a mint fault coin amongst the hoard.... does this have the mint fault status ? I first spotted the lumps on the reverse and the obverse I noted the other areas..... the No 7 has bled into the edge....this may have been during circulation ? let me know what you think's happened......cheers "H"

Interesting....it seems odd enough for me to keep, the indent side has a shallow and thins to the edge, there seems more material on the lump side than would be needed to fill the shallow area, no vice area marked either sides, so .........still thinking its a manufacture mishap? many thanks for the input, I will be also adding a Four Pence coin that has lumps, I do appreciate the interest and input received 👍 Rgds "H"

It looks like a blob of silver solder on the reverse until you look at the obverse and the edge, in one of the photos you can see where the oak wreath has stamped into side of the fault Struck for colonial use in Ceylon....... was this down to a mint failure ? I cant see any other reason... a fascinating find for me, happy to own this sort of oddity's 🤔

aha... I think this is possibly the same coin that jacobvs has , the crown looks the same although the reverse is different. Irish???? I'm none the wiser but interesting to find a similar coin, all the best "H"

After a time of reading and trying to be as correct as possible... Is this James I, 2nd coinage, 1604-1619, Mint Mark...? in the top left of the photo, Is this a Key? any suggestions welcome..... many thanks 🙏

hello, I'm not qualified however I did read recently about grease being in the die forcing metal out, ..... in your picture, along side the deformed 9 there looks like a residue of metal.... worth a thought...🤔

hello Bruce. many thanks for the input... can you elaborate more in regards to with 2nd I in BRITANNIAR to gap. I'm not sure what this means, many thanks "H"

Amazing, I really tried with the letter but they just blurred as time past last night, Edward and London I can now see now...... sort of, it also helps as 11a would be 1310-1314, Its important that I keep all these details as I can see in the coming years the information will be forgotten, by the end of year I will show all in date order and Identified.. many many thanks for the input, 👍

Hammered coin Edward? Ive been looking up on these for awhile but Ive still lots to learn, Elizabeth six pence are easier to read, these early Pennies are a challenge,...... its the first one I've found (amongst my lot) that has the cross mark through from the other side the head is probably the least worn that I have found so far, still unable to translate the lettering. ok..so far I wrote off Richard II and Edward I... leaning towards 3rd Coinage Edward III 1327-1377 ?!?!?!?!??! 🤷‍♂️🤔 Many Many thanks "H"

it has been most educational, back before the computer days it was trawling around the Boot Fair days that I so do miss, fortunately I still have boxes and bags of coins in my possession yet to be processed, Guilders I didnt even know about such coins.....today again another learning day. many thanks "H"

Aha, I think I pencilled it in as 1959 but needed to be correct, my loop is strong enough to pick out the obvious dings and wear, the forums partly to blame and I'm now looking for errors that do occur... interesting to learn that this the "ghost" are due to a repair to a die..... for me an interesting find. 👍

errrrrrmmm well it was in a field early on a Sunday morning, half hung over at a boot fair, this was the early 90's and just buying coins what look old and silver...GIII .... and cheap.... was good enough for me and its a keep 👍

Victoria Six Pence -1st portrait; 1st type the date hasn't been dinged, it looks close up as its deformed, non committed to be a 5 or 6 ( which is a ball ache when trying to get things in date order !?!?😒) on the obverse there's a ghost to the side of the letters G:F opinions / views welcome.......

so another delve into the collection box of small mouldies that ive been avoiding, starting by fishing out all of them that I found to be continental and that been mainly nickel ........not of any great age or interest, 😒 others that I found are the silver British ones mainly Victorian so will be back to look in to these at a later date......... clearly I had never had any organisation way back them this all started. However......... I did at first dismiss this one coin at first as I didn't realise what it was as its details were covered in ....crud?!?!? warm soapy water has revealed a ½ Guilder - William IV.... it really made my day. any comments ? much appreciated, Rgds "H"

Awesome! enough said.....I can look these for quite sometime without losing interest, the photo is well executed, congratulations to you Sir. 🫡👍

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... 👍

the reverse look nice as well...a nice tone.....

1 Florin - Victoria 2nd portrait 1887 it was a vast improvement on a few that I already had they had been circulated and rubbed out I spotted this and both sides seemed in vgc the outer edge has a ding but other than this all seems well.......or does it???

1 Shilling 1758 George II Older bust Nice condition. again any Ideas of its grade?
