The Royal Mint have done coloured coins before haven't they? Or is this pad-printed rather than painted?

Coin prices continue to rise
Mr T replied to 1949threepence's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Is the 1839 proof sixpence with obverse 6 mentioned in any books? -
Seems to be - buyers fees and sellers fees together are now standard, though I have seen some auction houses pay you for the big ticket lots as VickySilver said.

Halfpenny ID check

Message sent. I don't think I was able to get an answer on obverse 11* though. My 2c (or 2p) is it's the same obverse - the descriptions seem to be contradictory at times and manual touch-ups to some working dies seems like a reasonable explanation. -
https://www.ramint.gov.au/circulating-coins shows the current Australian designs - they're not the classic designs of 100-150 years ago but they have a nice simplicity to them I think.
-
Still in circulation is a tough one - I like Australia and New Zealand's at least, although they've been unchanged for close to 60 years.

The images aren't showing for me.

Nice find.

1861 sovereign field find from today.
Mr T replied to Gaz T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Nice find! From the first photo I would have said a letter blunder but based on the above photo maybe something just damaged the die? -
1887 Gothic Florin varieties
Mr T replied to david.bordeaux's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
No idea but I'd be interested to know. I think https://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Pastresults&auc=124&searchtype=3&startres=1050 is the Davies collection sale so it's worth looking there. -
NEW UNLISTED VARIETY of 1873 HALF-PENNY
Mr T replied to Bronze & Copper Collector's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
The leaves near the D:G: was the note I had left to myself but I wasn't quite sure. Nice find anyway. -
NEW UNLISTED VARIETY of 1873 HALF-PENNY
Mr T replied to Bronze & Copper Collector's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
I think it's a C# - not too sure on the obverse. -
What was it advertising?

Looking back at https://coins.ha.com/itm/great-britain/great-britain-george-v-penny-1933-ms63-brown-ngc-a/a/3105-32230.s it says that year sets (as opposed to just single pennies) were interred under new buildings. My understanding was always that it was the penny but I guess that explains the 1933 proof being from a proof set. I wonder if the under foundation stones have proof sets too and the other four examples are circulation coins.

Interesting - touching and not touching the shield? -
Standard Reference for British Imperial & Colonial Coinage
Mr T replied to JTerry3's topic in Enquiries about Non British coins
I've got Remick's book and it's decent. It doesn't go into a lot of details with varieties but that's to be expected. I hadn't heard of the Spink book - can anyone recommend? -
Would anyone happen to have a copy of this book? I believe it was published as a .pdf at http://site440.mysite4now.net/hoschcoins/site1/Portals/0/MAUNDYwork.pdf (maybe at http://www.hoschcoins.com/ too) but neither works any more. I think it was published in 2008.

When do new mint sets normally get launched in the UK?
-
That was quick! And the article says it was done from photos not from a sitting.

Sovereign Rarities Sale, Thoughts?
Mr T replied to VickySilver's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
What 1887 penny was it? I had a look on their site and could only see a June auction. -
What caused that?
-
I know there aren't many half sovereign collectors but does anyone here know of any sales of/listings of/references to a proof or pattern 1892S half sovereign? I've been able to find sales or listings of all of the other pattern half sovereigns of the same era. I doesn't seem to exist in any institutional collection either.

1892S pattern half sovereign
Mr T replied to Mr T's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thanks - I saw nothing in the Murdoch collection. I might reach out to Eric Eigner too. -
Surely they've been for sale all year and anyone who wants one has one?

Rest in peace.
