2x groat.....four pence coin....with faults ? 1840 the No, 4 seem to be lager the the rest of the date 1854, the No. 5 has mis shape at the top, the trident has a line across near the hand....

so now side by side its begins to become clearer 👍

recently I was shown a coin that was Spanish. it had a ghost out line of Victoria..... the explanation was that was over stamped, one further question,, how did it get the curved pattern next to the shield from? 😕 many thanks one and all, its really interesting to learn more about the coins I have lurking to be found. flaws an all.....!

the reverse looks like is over stamped ..... a lot going on with this coin ...... 🤔

following on ..... and on closer inspection ......is this a fault with the die..... 🤔

the reverse ....

1 Shilling 1917 - George III (New coinage) unusual for my hoard to find a relatively very good condition coin, !?!?!? a few dings to the face area but no real signs of wear..... would this be a VF ? 🤔

1 silver Penny - George I (Maundy) 1 silver Penny - George III (Maundy) 1 Penny - Victoria 1st portrait (Maundy) more sifting through the hoard and found these...... they seem worthy of a show as they seem to be in quite good condition with minimal signs of wear....👍

.833 Silver

Whilst sorting other Victorian Crowns out that I have I found this amongst them.. its a 1 Thaler, 1757 1st Bust .L. made out of .833

Still putting things in order......and thought this worthy of a show and tell.... Ive had a match box with really small coins,...Boot Fairs mainly and were dismissed as being foreign and found without any interest by others.... I recall someone said they are silver... so I was picking them up for pennies and stashed to sort out another day.... the years fly by and this Standard circulation coin of Canada .... noted today there's date number 8 below is another 8......Is this a true Rarity??? have I found a scares coin? interestingly its been in circulation and never been kept, imagine it is its early days.... wow all the same its unusual to me. ☺️Enjoy "H"

??? Ive no Idea ??? where the heck this came from or how long Ive had it.... interesting all the same. King Christian IV Obverse Crowned half-length figure of King Christian IV facing right, wearing armour, sash, lace ruff, and holding right arm on the hip. Partial beaded circle around. Script: Latin Lettering: CHRISTIANUS · IIII · D : G · DANI 1613 Unabridged legend: Cristianus IIII, Dei gratia, Daniae. Translation: Christian IV, by the grace of God, of Denmark. Reverse Inscription in three lines. Coat of arms of Denmark with or without cross below. Partial beaded circle around. Script: Latin Lettering: NORV : VAN DA · GO TO : Q REX 🞴 I 🞴 MARCK DANSKE Unabridged legend: Norvegiae, Vandalorumque, Gothoruque rex. Translation: King of Norway, the Wends, and the Goths. 👍

ooooooooooooooowwwww......ok so I just checked and it weighs in correct so hooray...its fascinating to learn these are still made and still used many thanks "H"

many thanks Paddy, phew..... its been with me for a lot of years but will continue until I'm fully happy that its 100% genuine 👍once again many many thanks im indebted to you for all your input.

wow, ive had it some years.. any suggestions how I go about having it checked out?? many thanks for the heads up as well, cheers "H"

so just found amongst some Victorian crowns in the hoard... 8 Reales 1852, MEXICO there has been a recent chat about Counter stamps and chop marks.....I didn't realise I had one!?!??! 😕 (These coins, made of 90.3% silver, not only consolidated the post-independence Mexican economy but also circulated in markets as far away as China and the Philippines.) 8 Reales 1799 - Charles IV, Spanish, for me? a Awesome find...! 👍🙏

Hey Paddy, many thanks for looking into this...yes its exactly the same both sides, its a real head scratcher the circle an the star are inter linked, Ive enlarged the image but still none the wiser...once again many thanks for looking into this. 👍"H"

got to wondering.................PB = Paddle Boat, ? hence crossed oars?? Any Ideas ???

Aha, found amongst the hoard.. un sure what the PB is for or what looks like either oars...or a Maori fighting staff ???? surounded within a 4 Pointed Star. any Ideas?? Regards "H"

I think I can see a faint 4 could the die be damaged and silver moved into the crack, .......? please show the obverse.... really like these finds👍

Hey Paddy, wow...another contemporary forgery....I did wonder as yes it looked the wrong colour....it was one of Grandads hoard so not sure he was caught out by this or just chucked the collection, if nothing else it will be a talking point...many thanks Paddy for all the input.....Rgds "H"

taken some time to revisit Grandads hoard, these I felt were worth listing although rubbed. George III 1816 1 Shilling new coinage. George I 1723 1 SS,C Shilling 1st Bust

Many thanks, its reassuring to have other opinions especially when there's doubt is going around in my mind..... admittedly I do sympathetically wash the grubby ones over removing the hand grime and god only knows what else they have been covered in...however this one I left well alone.....other than the colour its in a more than air condition so its a keep, 👍many thanks fellas, Cheers "H"
