Citizen H

looking at my line up the William 3rd Shilling is really rubbed out, this is troubling me and would like to improve on this, If by chance. please give me a shout if any are for offer. many thanks "H"

Crikey.... I didnt realise, I thought Numista was based on a rarity index listed else where ? I do have to say there was such a rarity index else where then please do share...id hate to be responsible for listing duff information, and like others i will find a rarity index of use. Peckris... many thanks for your input...others..... please disregard my coin rarity previously stated...its very possible to be not valid ......sorry!

I have a random and eclectic hoard of silver coins that I assembled over 30 odd years, pre internet purchases, I haven't followed a plan just buy silver coins as I find and if I have the "Brass" to buy them....I wouldn't say I was a good judge and was more luck and what's knocking around at the particular day..... A detectorist invited me to a walk around a field that I cancelled on a cold wet day in favour of a Antique Fair in a warm hall. I picked up a Victorian Crown for a £5..... the detectorist found some coppers and nickels... subsequently the metal detector was sold and silver coins bought...... I'd like to have ago at finding some coins this way at least once in my life.... but whats going around is there to be found.....me thinks!?!??! all the very best and do show and tell...it sounds all very interesting.

Hello Sylvester, yes your right, it leaves very little to go on, I didnt buy it as to little information and to be honest I own enough that already rubbed away. 👍

with the scudo I picked up I knew it was of interest to me, this coin by not seeing it in my hand I cant relate a strong enough interest to it... so the hunt continues, thank you for the input. 👍

its no good I spent hours.....Really Hours looking.......and found this...... A Huò Quán (貨泉) coin issued by Wáng Mǎng (王莽), these coins were introduced alongside a chaotic system of round coins, cowrie shells, turtle shells, knife money , and spade money. As the people preferred this coin it would be continued to be made even after the fall of the Xin Dynasty with a mould from the year 50 (fifty) being found. Tang Dynasty (Tang Empire, was an imperial dynasty of China that ruled from 618 to 907) 唐朝 Apparently...... another thing thats ironic is China is a large area of fakes....not just coins !?!?!?!?

I really cant remember when I found this, not ever found out about and its been left forever...... re discovered in a box of other interesting items still awaiting my attention. so...any ideas, I think its copper, Chinese cash coin and thats about all I can say about.... anyone know any more about these? all the best "H"

Ahhh.... it seems that Obverse Engraver: Edgar Bertram MacKennal Reverse Engraver: George William de Saulles so only half wrong....or right depending what side of the coin you look at....

I happened upon Numista.... when I first join the Forum I was depending on everyone to tell me everything.... I've been experiencing fatigue an its been difficult trying to get things right... I did happen upon Numista that seems a useful place to check out coins an lots of extra information, they lower down provided a Numista Rarity index: and a Bullion value: which is useful to know if buying worn out ones so you don't over pay.... I'm also trying to keep the forum tidy and add to my existing topic rather than keep opening new topic... I hope this help, all the very best "H" oh and thank you for the grading. its nice to know that, as another area I'm not sure about!?!?!
