My first significant additions for a month or more, the 1875 was a steal at 99p, well, despite its condition, it is a 'cannonball' flaw and seems to be collectable. The 1881 F106 is slabbed at AU55 by NGC and is nicer in the hand than the photo, it has nice surfaces and overall hint of 'chocolate' subdued lustre in the right light. It cost me about £80 inc postage. Jerry

Looks like it's trying to be a guinea or half guinea. It might be the light on the photograph or it may be that the slight gold tones are the remnants of gilding. Interesting but not a genuine coin.1 point

Looks as if its been gold gilt at one stage. Most likely a fake yes and not a very good one. Counterfeiting was rife in those days. Bung it on ebay if your not interested in keeping it , there's a market for contemporary Georgian counterfeits.1 point
