    Edward III Half Groat

    Edward III Half Groat 1354-1355 could it be a Pre-treaty period ? Mint York Rarity index: 87 its in quite good condition as a guess its been used as jewellery rather than rubbed through circulation shame for the piercing but is a nice example.

    Florins, Shillings and Misc .... on going sort out.

    1887 ½ Crown - Victoria 2nd portrait Jubilee this is a better one I now have than before. I did pick up on the ridge on the edge, there's no bash to the outer edge I then took a closer look and the SOIT has another strike to the letter I & T.... is this a rarity ?

    More Pennies

    Ive not been interested in the Pennies...however this one was mixed in so why not show and join in, I know nothing other than its Bronze, 1877, theres a chunk missing by the letter R on outer edge....is this a mint fault? could this be a rare, valuable and scarce coin to behold??????? ok, over to you guys, all the very best "H" (uninterested in Pennies)
  17. I had a bit of a look around and found this on Numista you may be able to find more out about this medal.... A satirical medalet produced in 1830 to commemorate the appointment of Charles Grey, the second Earl Grey, as British Prime Minister. He retained that post from 1830 until 1834. The medal was made because the previous Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington who had defeated Napolean Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, had refused to allow for the reform of the British Parliamentary system and had been forced to resign. Grey took his place in 1830 and his government passed the Reform Act of 1832 and abolished slavery throughout the British Empire the following year. all the best "H"
  18. Hello and once again thank you for adding me to the forum. Ive had coins for over 38 years and its been a mixture of well its old so of interest and give it to him to keep him quiet. a hoard was given from my mother that were her fathers, all very old, worn and even some were drilled. I took the worn out ones and had them appraised by local coin experts, sadly just scrap value, it was a hard day choice but sold off them and bought a sovereign coin, time moves of and i then added Guineas, these will be a show and tell later on. I hope this is for interest for today. I will show the 1 Scudo, I had no idea of when or how much.. it wouldn't have been that much in them days i do remember it was before computers so 1992 ish Sanctvs . Marc . Venet 1624-1629
