Hoping easy to cancel before then! 🤔 I did the same - but when I went to cancel they asked me choose “why” … then extended my free trial for another 30 days! And again - I think I got 3 months free altogether. Quote

scottishmoney Posted March 6, 2025 Posted March 6, 2025 Big piece of British bronze from the Birmingham Workhouse - quite possibly the largest numismatic object struck for actual circulation by Matthew Boulton's steam powered machinery - this weighs almost 2.5 ounces. 8 Quote

scottishmoney Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Obviously this bawbee from King William III from 1697 circulated as a halfpenny deep into the 18th century given it's wear pattern 2 Quote
scottishmoney Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Another well loved bawbee but from King Charles II and dated 1678. And another beater bawbee, this from 1677. 1 Quote
scottishmoney Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Bawbees are notorious for having circulated deep into the 18th century by which time they were barely identifiable - so this rather decent 1679 example is an exception to the beater bawbee rule. 5 Quote
Nala Posted Sunday at 12:07 PM Posted Sunday at 12:07 PM Hi Here is a medal with a connected rosette that I bought on eBay a few weeks ago. Weighs 34gms, diameter 44mm, thickness 5mm. Not silver. Not named. My grandfather was born and grew up in Rhymney, South Wales, which when he was young was a busy coal mining village. It was minted by J.W. BENSON London, so the medal could be 100 to 150 years old. ??? I have not been able to find a similar medal. All I can find is that this type of medal could be given following an act of bravery or good deed by for example a friendly society. I am interested in the social history of the area so can anyone add anything? Many thanks Alan Quote
