    Just bought around 20 of these Roman punch marked coins but don't know anything about them! Does anyone know any good informational resources on these? A few examples just for fun.

    US collectors often pay incredible sums for toned coins, many of which had help getting that way. Yeah. But don't they just sit them on the TV to make them tone - I would've thought you could just buy a BU coins and do that yourself, save some money....

    Well I'd build the most comprehensive collection of Celts in the world! It's possible, given the fact there's still less than 1,000 seriously dedicated collectors worldwide and, oh the small issue of funds not being short ehehe...

    I'm not sure if it's legal to sell these coins for their metal content or at least to melt them down, unless they don't count because they were made before the 1971 Coinage Act. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/bargains-and-rip-offs/article.html?in_article_id=409079&in_page_id=5 The coins are about 75% copper, 25% nickel, with a trace amount of manganese.

    It just seemed appropriate to make this post as there was some interest in the history of these pieces and I myself knew nothing about it when I bought these coins, so I went and did a little research. It didn't take long to find this most useful website. http://rightclickhome.com/Numis/micc/01Jan2009/The%20%27Lion%20Money%27%20of%20Sierra%20Leone.htm Makes for a great read on the topic..

    If you're thinking of silver - those are actually Cupro-Nickel alloy coins, 1920-46 British coins are 0.5 silver, pre-1920 are sterling 92.5% silver). So there's no valuable metal content, however, you can still get a few quid for them, but it won't be a lot.

    Scarce is more common than rare. A rare coin has to be taken seriously, scarce merely implies they are hard to find now. So a scarce coin, may exist in a low number of thousands but is well sough after, or in the hundreds but less sought after. A rare coin, should only exist in the hundreds at most, and possibly only in the dozens. Rare coins ought to always command prices in the hundreds unless there isn't much interest in the area.

    I've seen that those around Fine seem to go for around 15-30 GBP depending on the weather. EKs are of importance as these are the heaviest coins produced for UK circulation - like Pyataks! - 56.7 grams on minting.

    Albert Victor was next in line to the throne, but apart from that I'd never heard of an actual British regent playing for the away side. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Albert_Victor,_Duke_of_Clarence_and_Avondale

    Does anyone know much about this coin weight of Queen Anne? i.e. is it genuine? It's weight is approx. 8 grammes and diameter = 19 mm.

    Did anyone notice every single seller of these overvalued 20 pence pieces had bidder identities protected?

    I know this is meant to be just British coins, but here is an intriguing halfpenny size token with St. Patrick on one side with the date he started converting the pagan Irish to Christianity, 432 A.D. I just thought maybe someone could show me a reference or tell me something about this coin.

    I just assumed it was because it had a great big SPECIMEN written on the front of it.
