Did they make spade Guineas in 1802 John? Hence i asked the question, i did notice that, so presumably a gaming token.

What weight is it JohnMc? Did they make spade Guineas in 1802 John? Possibly Half Guinea 5th head? It should be around 4g ish if so, but the date doesn't fit as it has a spade REV. Could you also tell us the die axis Johnmc, IE when the Kings head us pointing upwards and you spin the coin around between 2 fingers to the other side (REV) is the spade pointing in the same direction, or opposite to the Kings head?

the picture is terrible John, have you another?

Yes amd no Derek?

A 1944 is on my wants list still

You have! That's about exactly what is needed. I didn't want to sound to cocky Peckris Um ... is there a particular reason you haven't mentioned Edward VII florins?

Here's my 1945, i only bought the other because i wasn't sure if it had been cleaned or not as the pix were crap, but i have now asked for a refund, they were only a quid each, so not a ballbreaker.

He made some good money there, will be selling more end of October he says

So did anyone win any coins from the Workman sale? If so, care to share which?

Sorry forgot to ask after messing with file sizes to post the pics. Basically any info about trade dollars would be much appreciated. Your pictures are very pixelated to see anything on it, i think you have böown a very small picture to the extreme and has therefor distorted the image

I share your pain. Mine are too busy fighting, shagging and doing things they'd rather I didn't know about to concentrate on anything so 'static' as collecting coins. I can just about get them to play golf, but that's as far as they will go. Just got my eldest boy (12) interested in fishing. He told me you can do it on an xbox, ps3 apparently! He even likes helping to sort my job lots from auctions and takes some for his "collection" Sadly he has discovered girls and puberty now so I fear all may be lost!!! Maybe you should show him what some of these old coins can make John, perhaps let him look at the Pennies on the Workman sale and show him what prices they achieved, maybe then kids will come to realise the value of these old coins

I think he's iver enlarged a very small picture, hence the pixalation

Thats not being faked 400, thats fraud as far as i can see

Not sure what your problem is as you have not stated it so far, will you be enlightening us somtime soon?

I also have another 45 Scott thats wirhout mint darkening, so now what?

Is this a contempory forgery?

I didn't realise silver should get to this state John, hence my brass thought

Looks more like brass to me Vicky, and this is from a dealer, no mention of anything untowards

and REV

Next is a 1947
