Citizen H

hello Mr T, it was one i picked up and never seen one since... I get attached to some things and this happens to be one... glad I've been able to actually have time to sit down and learn more about such things, many thanks for the input... it all helps, Rgds "H"

Its fantastic history to know about, and was by chance I found it and hung onto believing its genuine.... errmmm well its genuine.....historical fake ! 👍

Wow, that's a lovely looking coin and from my finds impossible to imagine these found in such a great condition. thank you for sharing this so impressive to see, Thank you for pointing out the "C" Chester Mint, which is interesting to be able to discover more information from it being so worn out. Looking into this further the William III is 25mm across.... A Shilling I think is right.... once again many thanks for all of the input. Rgds "H"

Hello Paddy, I cant be of any help, it would be useful to see the obverse to others in the know, and some times the latin may be helpful, as I did with the scudo that I found in a tub of mixed coins, I will be watching with interest...... all the best

William III 1672–1702, Half Crown ? this is badly rubbed but the only William III I have managed to find. Looking into things I also read that there's a 1689 Halfcrown - William & Mary on the same coin, never seen one of these

Hello Jerry... I did wonder... I believe this was a fashion, its rubbed and de valued like drilled coins... it was my Mam who believed it to be most valuable when passing it onto me,....... Sorry Mam don't shoot the messenger! many thanks "H"

The Victorian Crown that was found today, not sure about the marks on one side ?

2 x Edward VII Florins 2 different grades,

I've delved back into my Grandads hoard and picked these out as i thought they were of interest, I was caught by the obverse of the 1723....until I had a look on the E(vil)Bay now.... to be honest the 1826 George IV Milled Silver Shilling is probably the nicest .... £20.....ish 1816 George III Silver Shilling is probably the most worn.... silver weight scrap.....not that I'm looking to do so.. 1723 George I Silver Shilling... again I seen others and record prices.....Yes £145 would been a nice example to own however... £20.....ish To close, many thanks for the comments and do keep them coming, I hope the listings of the show & tells are of entertainment for you, this really is an education so thank you one and all. 👍

this is all of the 1d... I also need confirmation if the 4d is a Maundy.. the 1 1/2 is 1839 colonial silver coin...... I've file this in with others. any views comments will be greatly welcome. cheers for now "H"

Hello Paddy and thank you, its all coming together with WH Smith folder pages, nice to be able to show and learn more as it happens. I have these watch chains 1 is with a silver six pence. and these took a little of working out..... they are miniature medals 1 x The Military Medal the other is The kings South Africa medal, worn as Pocket Watch Fobs. may have been a trend back in the day.....many thanks "H"

the are the last of my 1d's

today all of the 1d,,, I have been learning with cut & Paste of photos.. the same coins are in each photo ...it may just seem like one side is bigger that the other... not so.... just not been able to keep the size in each of the photos....

I was looking at Guineas.... Its possible that they are Mint marked..? I was only able to find this on the net so not sure what to look out for on mine.... "Guineas were also struck in 1745 with the LIMA mark under the king’s head. The mark relates to the area where the gold was originally mined in Peru, and there have been several theories..."

these two are from 1899, so much for getting things in order........

I do have another item to show, It is a watch chain fob, 1887 six pence..... I seem to remember there's others....

these 2 are Jack free, seem to be in a nice condition.......

Hello all, now this may be a short forum.....!?!?!?!? in date order I have just got things together... 1st lesson was missed.. always use a Jewellers eye prior to buying any coin.... the edge was chipped but I was ok as it was old.. and cheap enough....1708 Queen Anne ....silver 2 Pence Maundy ...14mm across & stamped JACK........Screech of brakes...! what? When did this happen? you cant see it with the naked eye,... its unseen by me over all these years.... I seem to manage buy all of the unusual ones out there..... Doh

Ive just noticed that one letter looks double stamp? could this be correct?

This is really interesting... I'm beginning to realise that a lot of mine have been rubbed to the point of why they may have been boot fair available in the 90's... I did buy some gold coins from a dealer so they hopefully will be a better place of buy back then........ I do also have What still may be Maundy money to show... All the very best "H"

This is the third one James I, Shilling Mint mark, Lis Or Trefoil ? 1604 - 05 ? Any help will be greatly appreciated

In this grade would you say £40-£50? many thanks "H"

This is the second James I, Shilling Mint mark, Thistle 1603 - 04. How does this check out, many thank "H"

interesting.... I was able to enlarge the photo, definitely shows a key with no crown... so the previous owner was incorrect.....but at least this one wasn't a copy.... all the best "H"
