TomGoodheart Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 I think that's the fun of here. Exchanging ideas and knowledge is good, but it's also nice to let others know when we see something that might be of interest.Particularly when it's not a series we ourselves collect. Quote
Debbie Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Oh yes and thank you to all of you who keep pointing engraved coins out to me too! Quote
Debbie Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Is there any significance to the direction in which Britannia faces? Quote
Peckris Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Is there any significance to the direction in which Britannia faces?I don't think so. She always faced to our left, but then switched to right facing after the Great Recoinage of 1816, and has done ever since I believe. Quote
