      1837 George IIII Groat (4 Pence) with faults...

      By Citizen H · Posted

      The George IIII 1837 Groats I have come in vgc however they seem to have faults,  cracked dies, date number not in line....the Victorian Groats seem to be worn but with no faults... was this just the way of George IIII coins being minted?

      Ink printing on a silver coin ? Victorian 1883 3 Pence

      By Citizen H · Posted

      Whilst still sorting out......Ive never come across this before........., the coin looks like it has letters printed on to it.  has this happened as a chemical reaction by being stored flat against a printed document? I can see CTE  CLE and what looks like part of A intriguing find for me 🤔

      Later Shillings From the Gary Oddie Collection

      By VickySilver · Posted

      This auction just now completed a couple of days ago really did have some surprised. Some coins, and I did not have the privilege of viewing them seemed to go rather low with some dogfights over lesser coins (IMHO of course). One example of the former were the 1848/6, 1850, 1851,  1863/1, 1882 and 1889 small head shilling, and the latter by the 1850/46 and the proofs of 1840 and 1867.  I realize that the former are currency and the latter including two Record Proofs, but even so not sure that the prices fetched would align with my estimates - if those be of value. Perhaps the proof values are reflective of the "new" market for what might be referred to as "Marquee" pieces. Anyway, there are many more examples but was a bit surprised. Even though these coins are all up my alley I did not bid on any as I only needed a mild upgrade for one currency date. I also missed some of the QE II proof record coins as they came up as I was driving my commute to work. Well, I  am saving my powder for a couple of upcoming coins that I may share somewhat later on. Meanwhile, what is the take of readers?
