William III 1672–1702, Half Crown ? this is badly rubbed but the only William III I have managed to find. Looking into things I also read that there's a 1689 Halfcrown - William & Mary on the same coin, never seen one of these

hello again, looking through the layers of coins ( all in pockets) 4 more crowns have been found, now someone more organised would have put them in groups and some sort of an order, I didnt!!!!! of late I had a bit of a issue with memory and its hopefully going to get better...... 2 for today... 1892 Victorian Jubilee Head silver crown slightly more dinged so I guess value £30... following on from yesterday. the other 1892 is slightly smaller (Half Crown?) and different obverse. Value? its much better condition but have been circulated, any guidance greatly welcome. All the best "H"

Hello Jerry... I did wonder... I believe this was a fashion, its rubbed and de valued like drilled coins... it was my Mam who believed it to be most valuable when passing it onto me,....... Sorry Mam don't shoot the messenger! many thanks "H"

The Victorian Crown that was found today, not sure about the marks on one side ?

I've delved back into my Grandads hoard and picked these out as i thought they were of interest, I was caught by the obverse of the 1723....until I had a look on the E(vil)Bay now.... to be honest the 1826 George IV Milled Silver Shilling is probably the nicest .... £20.....ish 1816 George III Silver Shilling is probably the most worn.... silver weight scrap.....not that I'm looking to do so.. 1723 George I Silver Shilling... again I seen others and record prices.....Yes £145 would been a nice example to own however... £20.....ish To close, many thanks for the comments and do keep them coming, I hope the listings of the show & tells are of entertainment for you, this really is an education so thank you one and all. 👍

Hello all, now this may be a short forum.....!?!?!?!? in date order I have just got things together... 1st lesson was missed.. always use a Jewellers eye prior to buying any coin.... the edge was chipped but I was ok as it was old.. and cheap enough....1708 Queen Anne ....silver 2 Pence Maundy ...14mm across & stamped JACK........Screech of brakes...! what? When did this happen? you cant see it with the naked eye,... its unseen by me over all these years.... I seem to manage buy all of the unusual ones out there..... Doh

this is all of the 1d... I also need confirmation if the 4d is a Maundy.. the 1 1/2 is 1839 colonial silver coin...... I've file this in with others. any views comments will be greatly welcome. cheers for now "H"

Hello Paddy and thank you, its all coming together with WH Smith folder pages, nice to be able to show and learn more as it happens. I have these watch chains 1 is with a silver six pence. and these took a little of working out..... they are miniature medals 1 x The Military Medal the other is The kings South Africa medal, worn as Pocket Watch Fobs. may have been a trend back in the day.....many thanks "H"

the are the last of my 1d's

today all of the 1d,,, I have been learning with cut & Paste of photos.. the same coins are in each photo ...it may just seem like one side is bigger that the other... not so.... just not been able to keep the size in each of the photos....

hello all, there's 3 of probably the best of my coins, So following on from recent conversations these are Shillings........ I will do one at a time so hopefully not bombard the forum... they have come with notes but I only now got to look into things, this is mentioned as, James I, Silver Shilling, I.M Trefoil (key over crown... could this be the Mint Mark?) I did try but couldn't find and further information so any web site worth visiting All and any input, value guide greatly appreciated, many thanks "H"

I was looking at Guineas.... Its possible that they are Mint marked..? I was only able to find this on the net so not sure what to look out for on mine.... "Guineas were also struck in 1745 with the LIMA mark under the king’s head. The mark relates to the area where the gold was originally mined in Peru, and there have been several theories..."

these two are from 1899, so much for getting things in order........

I do have another item to show, It is a watch chain fob, 1887 six pence..... I seem to remember there's others....

these 2 are Jack free, seem to be in a nice condition.......

Ive just noticed that one letter looks double stamp? could this be correct?

This is really interesting... I'm beginning to realise that a lot of mine have been rubbed to the point of why they may have been boot fair available in the 90's... I did buy some gold coins from a dealer so they hopefully will be a better place of buy back then........ I do also have What still may be Maundy money to show... All the very best "H"

This is the third one James I, Shilling Mint mark, Lis Or Trefoil ? 1604 - 05 ? Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hello All, Today Ive moved away from my collection and thought Id show and tell some of my Grandfathers ....hoard. the story is my mother passed them on to me when i was 20 something it was my inheritance as Brother and sister borrowed money off Mother and never paid it back!!!!!!. I've never borrowed from her. The coins (grandfer's) were kept in a princess Mary's 1914 Xmas Tin, I've no Idea How or Why he started keeping these coins, there's no explanation from the family and these would have been currency when he was around using them.... unless he kept them as savings when currency was changing and the silver content involved? I have catalogued the 3 pence and its probably better to show the hoard as one lot.... please shout out if any particular dates would like to be seen? also here's the great debate. Do I consolidate with my coins or keep them separate and let the others deal with family history? Also.. what would be suggested as general value for a 3 pence? the grade is good some much better others not so... it wouldn't be fair to ask to value each individually. and Thank you advance, Ive also add a photo of the man in question, Frank Norris, RGA. 1884, 1885, 1890, 1895 x2, 1896, 1897, 1899, 1900 x2, 1907, 1908, 1912 x2, 1913, 1914 x3, 1915 x2, 1916 x15, 1917 x5 1918 x7, 1919 x6, ......... Qty 53 in all. All the very best Rgds "H"

In this grade would you say £40-£50? many thanks "H"

This is the second James I, Shilling Mint mark, Thistle 1603 - 04. How does this check out, many thank "H"

interesting.... I was able to enlarge the photo, definitely shows a key with no crown... so the previous owner was incorrect.....but at least this one wasn't a copy.... all the best "H"

Awesome, the ref of Key over crown was written by the previous... I thought it was the Key was above the kings crown??? this page of mint marks is a real eye opener, I certainly be looking into this further, again Stuart, many thanks "H"

Hello Stuart, aha so now a date correct for this one, many thanks for your help, I think I miss typed by mentioning I.M Trefoil... this is on one of the other coins the one showing is "Key over Crown"........ is there by chance a page that give a guide to the Mint marks ? ....... all good knowledge to have, many thanks "H"
