Citizen H

Hello, I thought this was the answer, just me mum just kept on with "one day these will be worth a fortune...!" I kept the silver ones that weren't to bad, the completely rubbed ones I sold for scrap.. it paid for one sovereign that quadrupled in price, I know mum would of had a fit but it would take a life time to explain some of the more practical points of collecting.

1806 GIII Penny.....a question about Verdigris... can this be treated other than destroying the patina

Today I found some copper coins that were the left over of the copper 1 Penny coins from my mum. The Victorian ones were all bashed rubbed and Verdigris and in life with so much to sort out I had these checked out. I kept these as were in a better condition than most. please pass on your views

George V 1929 Shilling 1st issue? 1923-29 South Africa Shilling.... ....that was an eye opener as i hadn't picked up the Africa on the coin until today.... learning also of the day......the Africa shilling silver content is greater than that of the 1929 shilling... Crickey what a day!?

Victorian....One Shilling = Two Florins 1900 1898 1893 1900 looks in better condition out of the three.

Victorian 1 Florins 1891 & 1887 the 1987 is quite a good condition, a few dings on the bust side will I guess lower the value but you should see some of the bangers I have bought over the years, All the best.

Aha... 2 x Gothic Florins....Roman numerals as date.... 1800 Ive manage to decipher, I just cant out the letters that looks like "r"s to me!??!?!

aha! Stuart identified mine, it was in my mind yesterday so I took more photos to compare but was dragged off to do other duties.. its the Henry VI Pinecone Mascle Half Penny of Calais 1431-32 Well, very happy about this find

Victorian Half Crown1886 1887

Victorian Shillings 1878 1892 interested on comments of the 1878 coin it looks like its in really good condition considering everything else that Ive posted. many thanks "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
