for some reason the 2014 300 year death of queen Anne £5 is starting to go for silly money

i prefer ngc

i kinda thought it might be that the otherday,

spotted this on the mints facebook page ? anyone know anthing about this coin ? trial of the pyx 2016 50p silverproof shield today

The royal mint museum face book page has been posting some stunning images of coin related stuff of late on there facebook page, thought o would share some of these amazing artifacts

this is the most interesting one for me, the royal mint museum say " There are many instances of artists actually placing their own features on the faces of subjects in a painting or sculpture and if a comparison is made between the portrait punch illustrated here of the St George from the 1935 Silver Jubilee crown and the photograph of the artist Percy Metcalfe it is possible, as was known at the time, to discern more than a passing resemblance. The clipped hair, the angular profile and the shape of the neck all suggest Metcalfe was doing more than creating a powerfully modern depiction of St George and the dragon, he was in addition subtly and wryly finding a place for himself on the British coinag"

collar for the una and the lion 5 pounds

did anyone know of this coin being released is what i'm getting at ? what with the recent 1/4 oz gold £25 peter rabbits just wondered what these special things are, this was a blog onthe trial of the pyx, love the Henry III thing

yeah there is that, but having 300 sheets together at the same time is not always possible, i could save up lol,,

last trip out with the detector gave me a cut half of Henry III Bury, and a nice piece of hack gold

thats stunning, like a heavy shot blast effect, wonder if the ed 7 matte proofs looked like that when new

my first piece in 12 years of detecting, has been reported under the treasure act as it potentially could be over 300 years old https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1996/24/section/1

gold thats been hacked off a bigger lump, not weighed it yet but it was probably used for payment etc, its high carot, you can see the cuts made to trim it to a certain weight or bits cut off to make a weight

nice, aint been out for a week,

very nice

so how does that work ?
