    IM the address Colin.

    Interesting. Thanks Colin. I've put the bulk of the culls on Ebay rather than send them to the U.S. but I'll hold this one back to see if more develops.

    I'm just putting together some cull/roadkill farthings (1672-1799) for a US dealer , and I'm not sure about this 1754. the four looks odd, but not odd enough to be 4/0. Any opinions?

    I'm using tinypic now because I'm having issues with Photobucket . Tinypic is fast to upload, but unless I'm doing something wrong, there's no bulk uploader. Each shot has to be done individually.

    Thanks gents. It will eventually be traded for summat.

    Thanks Rob, a simple and elegant solution. A 10p of the same vintage fits neatly into both depressions.

    I think this could be PMD:

    Terms and conditions of carriage for courier companies usually disallow coins, specie, and jewels. I think it's part of the Warsaw Convention of Carriage of Goods by Air.

    Was it you creeping about under my window then Paddy?

    There are a number of varieties of Leith Halfpenny, in this case pictures are important.

    Anyone interested in engraved coins *cough Debbie cough* may wish to look here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/bagerap/m.html?item=162194842975&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 It's possible that a small discount would be available for Predecimalites.

    Xetra-Gold is a Deutsche Bank sponsored plan whereby shares are backed by physical gold, and those shares can be exchanged for physical gold. Well, that's the theory anyway. I've been banging on about the fragility of Deutsche for over a year and now something is starting to happen. http://www.marketslant.com/articles/update-deutsche-boerse-responds-xetra-gold-delivery-allegations

    If you look at photograph 7, you'll see a very convincing Pistrucci die.

    Even though it's an uncommon reverse and it is in lovely nick, I would think around £25. More obviously, if you are lucky enough to get a bidding war.

    I think it was John Stephenson who said on the forum: "I buy junk and sell collectable coins" or summat like that.
  18. bagerap
    I have seen a few like this, but not in silver. I'd really like a good shot of the reverse to check the hallmark.
  19. bagerap
    These were issued in the hundreds of thousands, and are usually only collected if they were issued by a local authority or commercial company. That said, yours is a reverse design I don't come across very often, and I sell hundreds of this type of medal every year. Give me some better images to work with.

    For anyone interested in Irish coins and tokens I have to say that James runs the finest site I've come across to date.
  21. bagerap
    I don't have the Barter, but it sounds interesting. Krause only lists around 10 or 11 varieties. Yours looks to be X 9a or X 9c depending on whether it is solid copper or copper plated WM. I'm going for X9a, and it looks to be one of the best I've seen.

    Lauer wasn't the only game in town. Nuremberg had many small button and die stampers, just like Birmingham.
  23. bagerap
    It's not easy to tell without a much better close up but, are these marks actual circles or a concentric spiral? If it's a spiral, the marks could be the product of a "reducing machine", an early piece of high tech that was used to make smaller copies of medals and coins for the "commemorative" market. Sometimes also called a Reducing Pantograph.
  24. bagerap
    Not a coin, but a counter used for games; card games in particular. Likely made in Nuremberg and imitating an Austrian coin. Probably late nineteenth century.
  25. bagerap
    So, is this just a two coin set? 5p & 10p were the only decimals carrying a 1968 date as far as I can recall.
