Still been rummaging this evening. Found a couple of 'gold' coins, which I need to do some digging on. I will take some pics of them tomorrow.

I know what you mean and I did think that AFTER I bought them but having paid a mere £30 including the auction fees I thought it was worth a gamble. Fortunately I sold a small brass token from 1797 today on ebay for just shy of a tenner, so I'm giving myself a glimmer of hope that I'll make my £30 back plus maybe a little more... They were all in a deeds box

Glad we're on the same wave length...I don't suppose King James would of wanted that big hooter printed onto thousands of coins after all!!

So, I'm a newbie to the forum and not a coin collector....YET! For those that read my "hello" thread in the newcomer section, you will know that I bought 800 or so coins a few days ago at auction. Well, I have spent hours looking on the net, going down to my local library trying to find out about one coin I found amongst them all. There is something about it, that is baffling me, I want to show you a picture of it, to see if anyone can shed some light on it. My current opinion of it is that this coin is either a reproduction or FAKE but I am yet to find another like it. Please take a look at the pictures.

Hi all! I assume im in the right place just to introduce myself quickly! I'm Tom, I'm 26 and live in London. Im honest enough to say Im not a coin collector, however despite this, I do have over 2,500 coins that I got from an inheritance and 800 or so I bought the other day at auction! You may ask why I bought 800 coins from auction if I'm not a collector - not really sure either, I guess they caught my eye - and I thought there may be some gems hidden amongst them, as they were in a very old tin! Ive been having a good rummage through them and I have spent hours over the last couple of days trawling the net looking at similar coins that I now have. Anyway, just thought Id drop buy to say bonjour!
