Citizen H Posted May 29 Author Posted May 29 (edited) Today I've been mainly looking at Six Pence's. George II, interestingly the1745 has the "Lima" stamp, I only just seen today ...... The 1745 sixpence coin from the reign of King George II is a silver coin notable for its historical significance and value, made from captured Spanish silver. Lima, Peru👍 Edited May 29 by Citizen H 1 Quote

I think you are reading the figure for proof issues of this date, which is 1312. Regular business strike, of which this is an example, the figure is 7,010,000 ! 1 1 Quote

Actually, it’s the Jubilee Head issue for 1893 that's very rare - the Old Head which you have is the normal (not rare) issue. But the 1821 is a very nice example. 1 Quote
Citizen H Posted May 31 Author Posted May 31 (edited) 3 Crowns. Charles II 1668 Victoria 1845 Victoria1892 This Is another challenge, I dont recall where I bought these, Its most likely a Boot Fair Circa 1980's 90's I really ought to have a valuation as nothing has been listed on insurance, Its quite possible that Ive had a charmed life of things looking back at some of the ones I've bought....Blindly!?!? I just believed that if I liked them and they felt good... it was good.... I keep putting off things as theres another zip bag of Hammered coins I found 4 weeks ago to go through......this could be a blessing...... or a curse! 😟 Edited May 31 by Citizen H 2 Quote

Citizen H Posted June 3 Author Posted June 3 George V Florins.. 1911 rubbed 1914 & 1919 very nice condition..... Quote
Citizen H Posted July 14 Author Posted July 14 George II 1758, Six Pence, Older bust worth a show as I really like the early milled coins that I've been finding amongst others, I don't a have a clue as how to grade this... any suggestions? greatly appreciated "H" Quote
Martinminerva Posted July 14 Posted July 14 Solid very fine for me. By the way, it is an example of the 1758 over 7 overdate. Both the plain date and the overdate are very common, but might add a bit of interest for you... 1 1 Quote

Hello and thank you....its very interesting as no I wasn't aware of the overdate, once again many thanks for assisting with the grade, Rgds "H" Quote
Coinery Posted July 15 Posted July 15 I’d say the reverse is VF but the obverse NVF. So overall hovering a whisker below VF for me. In reality we’d only be talking small £s between the two grades anyway. 1 Quote

Its been an interesting journey... the grade of the condition and the value...of late I have found comparisons of same coin same date but wow.. how different they look side by side... unless told otherwise the more worn example I will place in the box of selling on in the future.... but isn't it amazing to see how circulated silver ends up. many thanks "H" 1 Quote
Citizen H Posted July 30 Author Posted July 30 taken some time to revisit Grandads hoard, these I felt were worth listing although rubbed. George III 1816 1 Shilling new coinage. George I 1723 1 SS,C Shilling 1st Bust Quote
Paddy Posted July 30 Posted July 30 I would suggest the 1816 is a contemporary forgery in pewter. The colour looks all wrong for Silver, and the wear is excessive. (They were often made ready worn to disguise any imperfections.) 1 1 Quote

Hey Paddy, wow...another contemporary forgery....I did wonder as yes it looked the wrong colour....it was one of Grandads hoard so not sure he was caught out by this or just chucked the collection, if nothing else it will be a talking point...many thanks Paddy for all the input.....Rgds "H" 1 Quote
Citizen H Posted September 9 Author Posted September 9 1 silver Penny - George I (Maundy) 1 silver Penny - George III (Maundy) 1 Penny - Victoria 1st portrait (Maundy) more sifting through the hoard and found these...... they seem worthy of a show as they seem to be in quite good condition with minimal signs of wear....👍 2 Quote
Citizen H Posted September 11 Author Posted September 11 1 Shilling 1917 - George III (New coinage) unusual for my hoard to find a relatively very good condition coin, !?!?!? a few dings to the face area but no real signs of wear..... would this be a VF ? 🤔 1 Quote
Sword Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Note the broken B in "BRITT". This is due to a broken punch or blocked die and is not a true error. However, some people would call it the RRITT error and they really shouldn't. You can make out the letters WWP next to HONI on the reverse. WWP are the initials of the master of the mint, William Wesley Pole. There is the letter W by the letter N of PENSE for Thomas Wyon the Younger, the chief engraver. I don't have a 1817 shilling, but have brought a nice sixpence of the same design some time ago. 1 Quote
Citizen H Posted September 12 Author Posted September 12 following on ..... and on closer inspection ......is this a fault with the die..... 🤔 Quote
Citizen H Posted September 12 Author Posted September 12 the reverse looks like is over stamped ..... a lot going on with this coin ...... 🤔 Quote
