Coin aquisition of the week.......

[Coin aquisition of the week.......]

Just acquired my first George I crown (today's DNW auction)

[Charles I Halfcrown S. 2764 (?)]

Thanks both.

Here are my pics of it, I'll be leaving all the wax where it is

 

[Charles I Halfcrown S. 2764 (?)]

I've just acquired this (seller's pics) - I believe it to be S. 2764 1a2.

It has wax on the reverse, presumably for cataloguing purposes back in the day - can anyone identify it as an example that may have appeared in a book/catalogue?

Bit of a long shot perhaps, but thanks in advance!

This just in, never thought I'd justify the money for a decent one, but here it is!

The other interesting fact I know about it is that the reverse design tells you where to get it redeemed ! Eaton's publishing house was based at the Cock and Swine, 74 Newgate Street, sadly long demolished. If you're interested in more about Eaton, there's a lot of academic literature which discusses his activities as his friends and clients were basically a who's-who of the radical political scene of 1790s London.

Here's the front page of Eaton's edition of the Rights of Man, for reference, where he's "Citizen Daniel Isaac Eaton, Printer to the Supreme Majesty of the People". 

So the printer was Eaton but the portrait is Thomas Paine?

Thomas Paine's printer in London ! I'm rather amazed this hasn't got a US premium attached to it yet. Nice example. 

Thanks for that, I didn't know of the connection

Latest Viccy YH HC

How about this Banksy that greeted people to my (current) home town of Dover, until the owner of the building it was painted on had it removed?

And another new shilling, progressing my type collection

[1861 Shilling - Rarity?]

I've been concentrating on my YH Victoria shilling and sixpence types just recently, with a view to filling gaps and upgrading where necessary ...

Is the 1861 shilling really 'R' (rare) as indicated in Bull / ESC? Here's mine

Is it the age-old problem of trying to photograph through a slab?

It will lose some detail especially with a poor camera setup but the ear for example, no way is it MS63, just silly
