Hello! I'm trying to identify this piece but not entirely sure where to start. My starting guess would be 19th/early 20th century Indian subcontinent, but any help much appreciated! Thanks, Clive.

Best example you'll ever find! Assuming the example is fake and damaged...

Cash on collection...

Coins Mounted in Dish - But How...?
HistoricCoinage posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've come across this remarkable dish that looks like it has what would've been an impressive coun collection embedded in it (sadly polished smoothly...). Does anyone know how they were set in it and whether the coins could ever be removed? Thanks! -
Bargain!

To be clear, I do not believe it to be genuine... PAS reports (although there's no record of this coin) are also awaiting validation, so many coins like these are submitted by local FLOs but then pending confirmation from numismatic specialists.

Perhaps! I don't remember any similar lots and couldn't find any from a quick search though. -
This look suspiciously like a roughed up modern replica to anyone else? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204158103225?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2_uh5A_cSAi&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=G6uCbYI7QUO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I was just amused by the 'fake' spelling of Withers. 😉

The 'Whithers' is a giveaway, too!

Blank for a Brass Threepence?
HistoricCoinage posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've come across what I believe to be a blank for a nickel brass threepence. It weighs 6.84 grams which fits, but I've never come across one before as I imagine they'd have been hard to smuggle out of the Mint. (I also wasn't expecting it to be circular as I'd never thought about how the geometric shape would've later been made!). Has anyone else come across something similar? -

HistoricCoinage replied to HistoricCoinage's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thanks for your replies, everyone! I'll do some more digging. I would assume the Royal Australian Mint, judging by John's alias. -

HistoricCoinage replied to HistoricCoinage's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
No proof, sadly. It's from a collection formed in the '40s and '50s I'm working my way through. -
Me? Thank you! Been nearly two years but had a strong urge to check out my old haunts. Hope you're all doing well!

I'm finding it cheaper to buy from well known dealers than eBay or auction houses. How times have changed... 🤯

Wonderful example.

Wonderful finds and context!

Edward III penny of York - cross in quatrefoil
HistoricCoinage replied to JLS's topic in British Hammered
An interesting example! My thought is it's a continuation from the engraving of the die and not a deliberate element of the design, the portrait is definitely Edward III. I've seen similar ones before, e.g. the below. -
I've just uploaded a new list to my website should it be of interest to anyone here. Plenty of silver hammered coins and a smattering of milled. http://historiccoinage.com/newadditions.php

This was originally £1,999 when I posted, so looks like the decimal point has been corrected now.

Quality collection. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Metal-Detecting-Rare-Old-Collection-DAMAGED-7x-coins/113802988607?hash=item1a7f2fcc3f:g:RJcAAOSwED1dEofe

Enjoy the description on this beauty. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Anglo-Saxon-Silver-Coin/223492329770?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D57478%26meid%3Dffbbf304db1e444980f83cbdef708e53%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D163663592092%26itm%3D223492329770&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

True. Maybe it's the light and metal that makes it look porous then.

Looking for coins and...? 😥 One way to clean them.
