I seem to have done not bad recently, with an abolition of slavery £2 I didnt have,and St Helena & Ascension 2015 20p But I seem to have more luck finding error ones with missing letters and the like. Found a £2 yesterday thats got blobs of extra metal on parts of the motif. Do they anneal coins after striking ? I though that if this was the case that maybe some debris has melted into it.  Apology's in advance for the pic. A bit rough and ready

Not normally a fan of the modern coinage/bullion types but I did like these. 1oz silver proof and 1/4 oz proof, hopefully here before the new year

A recent purchase. Another shilling of Charles I dating from between 4 Jul 1639 and 26 Jun 1640. Probably at the earlier end of that period as the previous (Anchor) privy mark can just be spotted underneath the Triangle, showing the dies were given an extended lease of life. Spink 2797, Sharp F5/2. It's taken me a number of years to find an upgrade for the coin I already had, so I'm pleased. And hoping 2017 continues in this vein of new additions!  .
