I wanted to share this beautiful unique Celtic silver unit found by my detecting friend Peter a few weeks ago.and has been recorded on PAS ref; HAMP-FCA2F3 The coin will be sold in auction a little later this week by a well known auction house in London

Richard, a big thank you for the e mail scan with the realised prices at the Freeman auction.

Yes, I think it's in Chris' @Chris Perkins book 'Roman Silver Coins' as Silver Denarius 89BC Rape of Sabine Women, L. Titurius Sabinus, CRS204 Group 6 Class 1a (two or more human characters/trophies), thanks Chris

FAKE NUDES!

Here is the last of my trio of '99s recently acquired. Common below Fine but harder to find in better grades so I'm quite happy with these. Scott, when you say from 1699 the quality goes downhill I assume you mean quality control, as evidenced by the number of legend errors seen? I've always found the portrait and Britannia dies to be superior to those of the first two issues. The portrait, particularly, is better rendered and stands in bold relief compared with the first which is somewhat flat by comparison.

isn't that a die error the filled thing, I have a few.. 1699-1701 the quality goes downhill find a few missing N as well spot the error another example of the filled T's... also on a cast planchet 2 more spot the errors some other rare unlisted William halfpenny errors 6 over 5?

Mike, let me know if you'd like a copy of the prices realised list. R

There is one 20th centre halfpenny that is very underated in it's rarity and that is the 1911 A+b shallow neck, narrow date. I have one in about Fine so it exists but I've not seen another in about 10 years of looking to upgrade.

Hi Guys just added a few more coins to the collection nothing that special, but would like your opinions on grading and value if you can on the coins below please. Also I noticed that the 1855 Halfpenny the 5s are at an angle should they be like this or do I have something special. 1855 Halfpenny 1887 Farthing 1878 Farthing 1901 Farthing 1929 Sixpence
