Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 01/17/2019 09:08 am Thanks for the comments... Really nice coins Director! Thanks for posting... The detail on your 1/12 anna is -'Beautiful!'- the beard and hair especially....Plus it has the added bonus of being the Key-Date for this denomination with the lowest mintage.. I don't know about you but this King is my favourite as I find the portrait more aesthetically pleasing Probably a mix of him not wearing a crown (One exception the 1 Anna), portrait facing right and a much more simplified reverse. I'll be posting the Edward vII date series in a couple of days, hopefully all will find it interesting and helpful... Again this series isn't difficult to collect with very few variants...Paul Hopefully this will help people when searching...Index post......

Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 01/23/2019 6:24 pm Thanks for all the kind comments and its great to see some coins from other peoples collections Director 'keep em coming'! The next set of coins I'll be presenting is Edward VII 1907 .... Edward VII reigned from 1901-1910. He was the eldest son of Queen Victoria and ascended to the throne at the ripe old age of 60. Because his coronation took place over 1 1/2 years after the death of his mother Victoria, all his coins depicted the king crownless, with one exception the 1 Anna which was introduced in 1906 and will be the next coin posted...Also his portrait is portrayed facing right... The coin was designed by George William De Saulles. In 1892 he was appointed chief engraver at the London Mint serving until 1903. He designed and engraved many coins used by numerous countries. This is a simple series to collect with very few variants that I know of... So I'm going to start with the three lowest denominations together as they run coherently the 1/12 Anna / 1/2 Pice / 1/4 Anna. Note..The first dated coins of Edward VII were in 1903. For 3 years these coins were minted from Copper but in 1906, due to the increased price in Copper, they were substituted with Bronze. All were minted at Calcutta. As you can see in 1906 all 3 denominations were minted using both types of metal the only distinguishing factor being weight and thickness... First.. 1/12 Anna Calcutta Mint..No Mintmark... Copper..1903-1906 = 17.5mm diameter....2.15gr (thick planchet 1.32mm)...Edge plain....KM#497... Key date 1903 lowest mintage 7,883,044 Bronze..1906-1910 = 17.5mm diameter.....1.64gr (thin planchet 1.22mm)....Edge plain....KM#498... Key date-1909 lowest mintage 12,316,800 Second.. 1/2 Pice Calcutta Mint..No Mintmark... Copper..1903-1906 = 21.0mm diameter...3.2gr (1.42mm Thick Planchet)....Edge Plain...KM#499 Key date-1903 lowet mintage 5,376,000 Bronze..1906-1910 = 21.0mm diameter...2.4gr (1.37mm Thin Planchet).....Edge Plain...KM#500 Key date-1906 lowet mintage 5,859,769 Third... 1/4 Anna Calcutta Mint..No Mintmark... Copper..1903-1906 = 25.5mm diameter...6.5gr (1.55mm Thick Planchet)....Edge Plain...KM#501 Key date-1906 lowet mintage 47,228,800 Bronze..1906-1910 = 25.5mm diameter...4.8gr (1.50mm Thin Planchet).....Edge Plain...KM#502 Key date-1909 lowet mintage 29,966,071 Here's my three.... Bronze 1907 1/12 Anna KM#498...(Thin Planchet) Mintage-20,985,600 Bronze 1907 1/2 Pice KM#500...(Thin Planchet) Mintage-8,060,231 Bronze 1907 1/4 Anna KM#502...(Thin Planchet) Mintage-234,681,600 Report this Post to the Staff

Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 01/29/2019 02:46 am Changing from Copper/Bronze to Cupro-Nickel. The next coin up is the One Anna... Interestingly this is the only denomination showing the King wearing a crown... This was a new style coin and was introduced in 1906... 1 Anna = 21mm diameter (12 scallops)...3.8gr...Edge Plain...Cupro-Nickel...KM/504 Only minted at Bombay... Bombay Mint...Mintmark small incuse B in the crown (See detail below).. 1906-1910 Key Date 1906 with the lowest mintage of 200,000..A rare coin! Here's my example..1907...1 Anna..Bombay Mint...Mintage 37,256,000...KM#504 Report this Post to the Staff

Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 01/30/2019 04:35 am Thanks scopru... The photo is the best I could obtain but this coin is just not photogenic! I've tried all sorts of different lighting, angle changes and background colours and can't seem to catch how this coin really looks...In hand its a really good looker but just doesn´t like having its photo taken...
