MODELCOINCOLLECTOR Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Hello i have posted here before, but not for a while Looking for as much information on INA PATINA PATTERN CROWNS I do have many of these crowns, i purchase the test pieces first which had MODEL on the reverse from Peter Jackson through Glen Ward, and started to write a book on them, but took a break for a few years . So i started up again. PICTURES and any paperwork would be great Tony Quote
VickySilver Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 OK, I like the earliest versions & got some of the gold ones in the Spink sale & held on to them. Will email later in the week as they are "locked up". Quote
MODELCOINCOLLECTOR Posted March 19, 2020 Author Posted March 19, 2020 Thankyou VickySilver for your reply Look forward to see them . i have about 250 types , i did purchase the test pieces with the word model on the reverse and how Peter Jackson listed them from type 1 to 28,. I do have many Silver pieces , i find them so intriguing and beautiful . but now trying to write a book on they many different types, i find prices vary so much on the same piece, i guess dealers see them all differently, as for the Gold types they are just a dream, but still would like to know as much as i can about them. So any information will be greatly appreciated Regards Tony Quote
VickySilver Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Have not been able to get to the bank due to Corona . The Krause Unusual Coin book from 2011 has many listed. Quote
MODELCOINCOLLECTOR Posted March 22, 2020 Author Posted March 22, 2020 Thats fine i guess coivd 19 is causing problems for us all , i do have Krause Unusual coin book. There are so many different types and Metals and Piedfort , but i am having some success now and have over 120 different types . So it is a slow progress but with help form many collectors , it is slowly coming together. Tony Quote
VickySilver Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Your enthusiasm is impressive, sign me up if you are able to finish for a copy and hopefully you can at least get basic type photos. I was able to find these old pictures of one of the gold pieces NGC did not list the weight which I believe was the heavier (42.2 gm. ??). Quote
MODELCOINCOLLECTOR Posted March 23, 2020 Author Posted March 23, 2020 Absolutely Beautiful, thankyou for the pictures first one i have seen close up, awesome piece , i am still looking researching and cataloguing pieces , a massive job but if i only achieve cataloguing different pieces , i be happy once again thankyou.

copper123 Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Might be a pretty coin but edward Vii was dead in 1911 so its certainly a fantasy piece Quote
jelida Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Despite what the slab says, the date on the coin itself is MDCDX which translates as 1910. Jerry, Quote
Paddy Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Interesting - MDCDX, although it works is not a valid Roman numeral. Correct notation would be MCMX. See https://www.numere-romane.ro/convert-roman-numerals-to-arabic-numbers.php for an explanation. Put simply, it is invalid to have a "subtractive group", in this case CD, following a letter for an amount in the same range, in this case D. 1 Quote
VickySilver Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 They may have just been having a bit of fun. This coin is c. 2000 struck by INA and sold in the Spink Patina Sale 2001. Quote

VickySilver Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 Absolutely! PCGS would not slab this and I had it in a 2x2 before, so at least adequately protected. I still want the other two slabbed. I got the copper version of this for 18 USD, and it is beautiful (well, the reverse anyway). Quote
jelida Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Quite a lot of INA fantasy coins coming up in a Stacks Bowers auction in Hong Kong on 7th May. Jerry Quote
MODELCOINCOLLECTOR Posted May 1, 2020 Author Posted May 1, 2020 Thankyou Jelida I have look at the auction you quoted. and they are still commanding a high price in some auctions. I have found many at a reasonable prices , and manage to acquire over 50 crowns in .925 silver some with a silver stamp on edge some not I know the there were 20 Obverses and 27 Reverses . From the original sale on Wednesday 11th July 2001 I was giving a list from Peter Jackson of another 28 different types, there are also many more , The Outlines types link to many different Obverses also George III Quote
brg5658 Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 Sorry I am slow to this discussion. I have several of these - many from the original INA strikings that were sold in the Jul 2001 Spink sale, and other from more recent strikings in 2007 and 2008. Here are some that I have photographed. Many more than I have not imaged. 1 Quote
Sword Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I do like the engravings of the INA pieces. One of the things I regret is that the very nice coronet head of Queen Victoria was only used in foreign coins and not home currency. Quote
brg5658 Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Another example of an INA piece in my collection. Quote
