Hussulo

Sorry to hear about your family problems. Hope all is well soon.

A good selection of free eBooks for numismatic research or might be of some interest. Link to website

Hmmm it seems like they will make coin sets of anything nowadays.

It could be if so it looks like a good copy. I haven't got recived it yet so I can't tell if its a cast or not.

Hi I recently bought this medal from a seller in the US. Described by seller as "medal in silver or white metal, approx 37mm diameter" appart from that not much known. I liked it and bought it. Didn't know much about it, however apon reaserch found these: British Museum link Coin Archives link What are your views of it? Can anyone tell me anymore about it? Regards, Hus

I don't see what the problem is Peter? he says discounts are available. Pm him and he might knock £50 off. Lol

The worlds first "orbital" coin

There you go. In the reply section click on the picture of the tree and insert the link of the said picture, then post.

" the oldest is blank on the other side any idea what it could be?" Not sure but it could be a seal.

Good stuff Oli, Congrats!

"I'm gathering of the 3d and 6d from each country in the world" Wow that will be a hard task Art.

All that he is selling are links to coin websites??? I know loads of good sites including predecimal+forum maybe I should sell links?

"I know this is not the sales part of this and so am not selling anything but would add the following PS - Hussolo PM in the next week or so as I may have a GEF (AU) 1905 shilling possibly up for trade." Will do, thanks! Neat 6d holder Geordie!

Hi Hussulo, MichaelGoulby appears to have found another obverse type for the 1903 shilling which he rates a very scarse. The reason I say appears to have found is that I have this one already and searching ebay have found others so I'm wondering if there are really 3 types. Have you come across this. Hi Gary, In actual fact I haven't got any 1903's. What is the difference in the obverse for this said variety? The only Edward VII Shillings I have got at the moment are, 1902, 1907 and 1902 proof. It is a side line collecting interest at the moment, which i hope to add to. I know some dates will be tough to find in higher grades.

Nice coin Irishraider. I collect Edward VII Shillings which is a similar design.

"As a new(ish) member I am always mindful not to abuse this forum with constant questions such as 'whats this coin?' etc." Never be scared to ask! There are a lot of members that are only to keen to help. Could it be a French jeton/coin perhapse?

Thanks Dave. Many alarm bells ringing on that one!

According to my books there is no known proof Crown for 1897. It only comes in business strike with LX or LXI on the edge. Maybe someone with more expertise on proofs like Rob can help?

Great coins guys. Definitely candidates for if coins could talk imagine the history these coins could talk about. I can see the weight but how big are the silver bars scottishmoney?

Yeh the lemon squeezer might give it a couple more scratches thus more character, then it might be worth $3000 but maybe if u wud like this i wll let u for $2750

Yes but its a great tool, with a lot of out of print old reference books. How about this one since you collect ancient: LINK Or [Mediaeval and Modern Coins in the Athenian Agora By Fred S. Kleiner Or not ancient but looks interesting: Medals, Coins, Great Seals, and Other Works of Thomas Simon By George Vertue, Thomas Simon

Hey Chris, Do you think this lady could be the guys sister? She says "I know from researching that this coin, in most cases ,it sells for about $2,000.00" LINK

Wow I'd like to see it! I to have read about it but haven't seen pictures of one before. As for that guy what a joke. I know a lot of beginners automatically assume that their coin is the most expensive variety in the book but what an absolute ars*. Did make me laugh though!

Welcome aboard Clive. If unsure I find the best way and most honest way to list my coins is to post detailed pictures of the coin and let the buyer decide. I also mention any scuffs, marks, or damage to a coin. Just a pointer to others new members, collectors reading not to join the rat race on eBay and list everything as Unc. However it is good to have another hammered fan (I'm also a fan of milled and errors ) on the forum. Regards, Hus

Probably a commerative token. Did a quick search on the net but can't find anything about it.
