azda Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Did'nt know where to put this. Its British and Sterling silver weighing 73.6g and got in a job lot. Anyone interested in this? Edited July 20, 2012 by azda Quote
Accumulator Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 As a lad I was very interested in stamps (more so than coins) and still have my collection tucked away. Bullion value apart, I rather think your item is to stamps what a Queen Mother medal might be to coins, though. Sorry! Quote
InforaPenny Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 While my primary collecting focus is British and Australian bronze (especially die varieties of pennies), I’m also a somewhat conflicted general stamp collector, and make it a special point to visit the public display of the Tapling collection in the British Library whenever I’m in London. Personal favorites in my own modest collection include the early British line-engraved such as penny blacks and reds, twopence blues, and other early world wide classic stamps. Along the way I’ve managed to acquire a small (11 gm) hallmarked sterling silver ingot produced for the Royal Mail which is mounted in a special folder describing the penny black and showing how the original die was produced. This is apparently part of a series “The Victorian Stamp Ingot Collection†officially sold by the Royal Mail some years ago.The ingot shown by azda (which I’m not interested in) seems to have been privately produced by the Danbury Mint.Best Regards,InforaPenny Quote
