I recently obtained an almost complete set of the Education Union series - just the Shilling outstanding, where I know of only 1 example. Photos to come in following posts.

There aren’t too many that I’m aware of, but a handful - perhaps 10. A big thank you to Larry and others who have kept this thread updated regularly with fresh material.

Here is something that isn’t seen too often. This is part of a set that would have had 2 loops on the back and would’ve slid along wires (similarly to an abacus I guess). There are not many around, and even less with the loops still attached. Hoping to get my hands on some more in a few weeks, will update the thread when they come in.

Perfect, thank you! I really appreciate it
-
That is really nice, and completely new to me too. Would it be okay for me to save this entry for use in the book please? Images credited to you of course.

And the same to you for all of your posts so far, this thread is becoming a really good read for any toy/model collector. I have plenty more unlisted bits and bobs but I don’t want to give the entire book away before it’s written

This was a surprise find in a lot picked up in auction last week - same obverse die mentioned in last post but with model half dollar reverse. Rogers 2467.

I’m not sure on the halfpenny. I don’t think the die could have been used ‘accidentally’ on the half penny, as the die was penny/quarter farthing size. I’ll have to check my books once I’m home to see if one is recorded, but from memory, I don’t think it exists.

That’s mad to think that even though the locals would know it was clearly marked, it still circulated!

I completely agree. He was very talented, and created lovely coins. It's a shame he was never involved in the regal coinage. I wonder if it was perhaps because his bi-metallic pennies and halfpennies were so popular that the mint had to make a statement saying they were not official. Perhaps it annoyed the mint enough to not consider Moore?

Those model pennies with the muled obverse are always a nice find. There is also a Moore Quarter Farthing with that obverse. I have attached images of my example.

I hope this is allowed here - The New Model Crown by Allen and Moore. This one in almost pure silver (XRF tested at 98% silver).

Hi Larry, it’s nice to meet you too, I’m based in London/ Essex, how about yourself? I’ve just been back through the 15 pages and there’s lots of information which would be a great help and plenty of additions to the book. I’m about half way through a die study of the balmberger Victoria coins, and have so far found 21 obverses and at least as many reverses within my own collection. The Edward ones are next on my list to do. The postcard is fascinating, as I agree, it’s difficult to relate much to Lauer as the factory and all of their records etc was destroyed during WWII. The last coin I have from Lauer I believe was dated around WWII (there is one listed in Rogers book, and I have another denomination from the same series, so I believe that a full set likely exists, albeit rare).

I’m late to the party having only just seen this so apologies, but I’m a fellow collector of toy and model money, and I’m currently writing an update to Rogers (about 30 pages in).

My Local Club! It's lovely to see these getting around further than the members own collections!
-
Oh God NO! Another Churchill Crown!!!
-
Thanks for your replies. The coin is still an attractive coin even if it is gilded. I think I will get it. Once again, thank you for the advice!
-
Sort of along the same lines, is there a safe way of removing gold gilding from a coin as I have my eye on a high grade copper coin but it is gold gilded. I understand that gold is very unreactive so I'm not holding my breath for a solution. Thanks Kai

If you're still in need of this coin then there are two offered in R.Ingram's latest list. Both threepences, on has a widow head Victoria on the Obverse and the other is an Edward VII.
