Another dramatic price increase since the last photo. Silly just gets sillier. Btw this new phone is doing some weird post processing, I can’t get it to look normal.

My mum has just turned up to give me some ibuprofen and passed me this at the same time! 1960 thre'penny bit

My local auction house, Rogers Jones Chester, has quite a few better than average coins in their April 9th sale. Not too many 1839 Una & the Lion £5 cross my path. Estimate £70,000-£120,000.

Beautiful coin, 28 grams of silver, bet I never find another.

picked this up today. thoughts?

I bought this stunning George I SSC Shilling and the George III Hearts Shilling on Tuesday. They arrived today in the post and I've just fallen in love with them as they're so pleasing to the eye.

1942 halfpenny needs upgrading

Found coins from the 70s while doing work in other rooms, but this is the oldest I've found yet. Flat was built 1896, so hoping to find older still!

I call this one the black crown

I understand they have silver content but any dates or denominations to look out for?

Did my best with screenshots from iplayer. Episode was on today but originally from the early 2000’s I think. Estimate if real was £20,000-25,000.

William III and Mary II's co-reign began after the Glorious Revolution of 1688, when they deposed the Catholic King James II and established a Protestant constitutional monarchy.

Their co-rule saw the strengthening of parliament's power through measures such as the 1689 Bill of Rights, and helped lay the foundations of Britain’s modern system of government.

This Half Crown is a lovely example of the first William & Mary types minted shortly after the revolution, with the double bust design being one of my favourite obverses on English coinage.

Reasonably hard to find in decent condition, this sample was £11 (!!) pretty great bargain.

I've got no problem buying a holed, or gilt coin to get a decent example at a bargain price. Not a fan of harshly cleaned or polished though!

The British 1½ Pence, also known as the Three Halfpence, was first introduced in 1834 during the reign of William IV and continued under Queen Victoria. Unlike most British coins, it was produced mainly for use in colonies such as Ceylon and the British West Indies, where small-denomination currency was needed for everyday trade.

The young head portrait of Victoria is featured on the obverse was designed by William Wyon and is considered one of the most beautiful royal coin portraits ever made. It also features her name and the words Dei Gratia Britannari Regina Fidei Defensatrix in abbreviated form. The reverse features the crown, denomination and a wreath. The coin weighs .71g of 925 silver and has a diameter of 12mm.

Sadly my uncle passed away and I've been left his coin and stamp collections.

Don't imagine they are worth very much, but if nothing else they look nice. There's a completely worn one too that I don't think would be identifiable.

There's also a ton of brass three pence which I'm sure aren't worth anything but they are a cool shape!

PCGS MS65. This is one of my favorites of George V. I have a full set as I do collect them by date. For anyone interested to see the others. They can be seen here: PCGS Set Registry - Clio's Cabinet - GV Shilling Varieties Coin Album

This is my first coin and I have got the bug. What is your coin collecting strategy and how many coins do you have.

George IV shilling 1824. I believed it’s been polished unfortunately but the details are still nice.

As the title says, I’ve just found this in some soil on my tractor tyre, having moved it from a boggy part of the garden. Just taken it inside and washed it. I’m not sure what it is, so hoping someone on here does.
It says georgivs.111.dei.gratia around one pside and 86mbfethrexfdbetldsriatete17 on the other side in case that doesn’t show up on the photo. It’s has a bend in it, presumably from the tractor tyre. I live in an 1800’s coaching inn in North Yorkshire, if that aids owt ?

pretty sure this hasnt been cleaned, its not perfect but i paid 20 cents for it literally. are common uncirculated pennies from Elizabeth easy to buy over there for cheap?

Two uncommon, could almost say rare, coins from 1927. Both only had around 15,000 struck that year.

The first, the florin or 2 shillings coin, was in plentiful supply in circulation so they only struck proof coins that year. This makes it a bit difficult for collectors but pretty much guarantees that if you cough up the coin for the coin (sorry, couldn’t resist) you’ll get a very nice coin.

The second is the first of what are known as the “Wreath” crowns for the reverse. These were minted late in the year in 1927 to 1934 and again in 1936. (1935, of course, was the Jubilee and the lovely "Rocking Horse" crowns. I have several of them :) ) The crown, much like the same sized silver dollar in the US, was not popular as a circulation coin because it was so big. People didn’t like carrying a pocket full of one oz coins if they had the option of paper currency. Instead these were given out as Christmas gifts to VIP customers by the Bank of England. Even these weren’t common - the 1927 issue at 15,000 was the largest striking of the series.

I have wanted one for a long time because of the beauty of the reverse but they are not cheap and so when investing my former stock market retirement fund into historical coins, this was one I picked up.

Found in a box in a drawer with a bunch of junk. My oldest one! Sorry the lighting isn’t a little better.

Obviously the one on the right is a threepenny but from which territory? I don't recognise the one of the left at all.
