Post Your United Kingdom (Great Britain) Coin Acquisitions.

@ttkoo Lighting in photos can be a nightmare to judge a coin by, it's a nice coin. I love coinage from Victoria's era, some of my personal favourite designs.
I don't have a good eye/knowledge of die cracks, but can see the neck line on the reverse. You've a keen eye for detail.

@otto, that's a few dollars well spent!. The thruppy is in great condition, a nice pick up.

Excellent!

@kipster. Exquisite. A very nicely struck coin.
Thanks for showing.

I'm not interested in grading her and my photos aren't the best. I simply like Sovereigns.

It's a very nice sovereign, wish I had one. It's on the list.

My latest acquisitions - four Conder tokens;


I really like this one as I am starting a Conder collection of various churches, cathedrals, castles and other interesting large buildings on the tokens.


My favorite Conder token I've purchased so far, this is by coin dealer Peter Skidmore and shows St. Paul's Church before and after destruction from fire. It's also a nice uncirculated token with hints of original luster and some color. All of the Skidmore tokens make an impressive collection in their own right.


I got this one as it features one of my heroes, and argubly one of the greatest minds of all time, Sir Issac Newton. Almost everything he discovered or proved is still standing correct hundreds of years later. Beyond the laws of Gravity, he proved most all of the optical and color laws still used today in engineering, astronomy, photography, etc. and of course was the father of calculus. Later in his life he was the Warden then Master of The Royal Mint in England.


This was just an inexpensive token, yet has an interesting old and long gone medieval castle which fits right into my buildings and structures collection.

Fantastic examples!
