Good Evening all, I'm new to this forum and very new to coins - I inherited my grandfathers coin collection some 8 years ago and haven't done anything with them, I'm now getting married in 2029 and figured I can sell them and put them to the wedding funds. He has over 2200 coins varying from Mint grade to poor and some dated back to the 1800's which I've manged to scan and list on a spreadsheet that I'm currently going through and pricing up (tedious work but it will be easier in the long run). I'm using Google AI, eBay and a few other sites to try and gauge prices for when I do decide to sell them (not sure how yet - individually / split down into mini collections or the whole set etc) The issue I am having is I can't seem to find the following bigger set anywhere on the internet - I can find small 5 coin sets (1 with each mascot) but not the full 38 coin set covering every sport from the 2008 Olympics with the mascots. AI says its part of a bigger set but then doesn't give me anything else (I know not to trust AI etc but its been helpful in identifying some coins as well as other coin apps and books etc) There are 38 coins in total covering every sport at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. All coins feature the same number 38 so either this is a serial number (batch number) or it represents the total number of coins in the set. All coins have the Ag.999 1oz silver stamp and weigh the exact same. Across the 38 coins there are 5 different 'Fuwa' mascots carrying out the sports. Has anyone come across this set before or can you point me in the right direction. Happy to provide more pictures or answer any questions

Hi, I am working my way through some unidentified coins and am a bit unsure with this one. From my assessment it is an Edward II Farthing (S. 1474) based upon the crown and collar. Type 10 or 11 or 13. https://www.rodblunt.com/edwardian-farthings-classification A second opinion would be fantastic. Thanks for any help.

Hello All Please could anyone identify this coin, which I found whilst metal detecting? I've spent many hours searching the internet and my Spink "Coins of England", but haven't been able to find anything like it. The coin doesn't appear to have a monarch's head on either side, so it is difficult to know which the obverse. One side (A) appears include a shield containing 3 stars and the letters TDTV repeated multiple times around the edge, although because the lettering is continuous, I don't know which of the 4 letters is the first. The other side (B) shows a heraldry shield with what appears to be 3 stars in both the bottom left and top right quarters. I can't make out what is in the other two quarters, but the bottom right appears to have 3 irregular vertical lines. It is about 23mm in diameter and is very thin (less than 1mm). Any help in identifying this would be great appreciated. Best Wishes Croggy
