  1. Have been building up a little pile of toy money pieces that I've found here and there - I wonder if anyone knows much about these? I.e. what they were used for, who made them..when?? They are quite small, the Halfcrown is about the size of a farthing.

    Toy Money! Anyone know much about these?

    1. What for, this is the web? 2. I came here to ask the experts..

    Richard II Penny?

    Thanks for replying Yes, it does look like EDWARDWS or EDWARDVIS.. I don't think it will be S.1531? as can't clearly make out the three extra pellets in the 'TAS' quarter..
  4. I am struggling a little with this penny, it looks a bit like Richard II's type, but what about the crosses at the bottom on the reverse side?

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Here's another one, on t'ebay. Hope we can use the word 'wazzock' on here as it's a wazzock what can't grade very well. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/British-1797-farthing-coin-EXTRA-FINE-ALMOST-UNCIRCULATED-EXCELLENT-coin-/280758984397?pt=UK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL&hash=item415e8a1ecd
  8. I have here a snuff box or "smuggler's twopence" that belongs to a friend who is interested in knowing anything of interest about it? What is it's value, and what would have this have been used for? I have tried researching this on the internet but have not found one quite similar. The grade is not too good, so I haven't though much of it in terms of value.
  9. My friend also has this really lovely Half Rupee. Hard to find too much info on this either, but these are somewhat scarcer than the full Rupees. Any ideas as to grade, value etc?? It doesn't look like it has ever been cleaned and retains some original lustre, I am going to give it an XF! Coin of the British Raj, so therefore a British coin!

    Cartwheel snuffbox?

    As a 'coin' I'd have valued it more like a tenner, owing to grade (Vg)?... in any case, are there two of them stuck together? Thanks for letting me know it was a vesta case for keeping matches, I will look into this.

    Bitcoin users?

    This has been advertised recently quite often on RT (Russia Today) and seems to be a new way of doing business online using digital cash? Has anybody used it? What do you think of it? http://www.bitcoin.org/

    Photos of coins

    Truly gorgeous coin the copper Twopence of George III. Use the lighting, I only have a cheapo camera.

    George IIII Halfcrown 1820, EF (matte)

    105 acceptable.
  14. Pieces_of_History

    George IIII Halfcrown 1820, EF (matte)

    A nice Halfcrown here with details that look EF though the metal has a matte dull colour as it was stored near a heat source in the past. These are selling at 200 in EF but because of toning I will ask 135 GBP.
  15. Pieces_of_History

    Crown (1822), VF++

    Prepared to sell at 195 GBP.
  16. Pieces_of_History

    Crown (1822), VF++

    Crown of George IV (1822)! This looks to be at least VF+?.... Again, as with the Halfcrown it has actually a matte patina. According to Clayton, these are in the range of 160-500 GBP VF-XF. So a whopper! I was hoping to keep this one, but am willing to sell because I could use the funds. Asking 250 GBP

    Cnut coin, fake?

    It's an incredibly smooth and lightly toned coin for a Medieval hammered piece...
  20. Pieces_of_History

    coin coin 2, fake?

    It is more than 100% a Trevor Asmore "strike". A master's piece of modern ingeniousness...
