Quote: Drum Roll. Something a little bit special. Eagle eye at it again ... Unrecorded overstrike R over E in VICTORIA. 1860 .925 Silver Shilling. Fantastic!

That coin is amazing, 3 strikes - the person striking it must have got frustrated.

Another week, another Florin upgrade!   1937 Florin, again the photo does not do it justice, this AU piece replaces the Fine one I have now. Good first year coin with some attractive golden coloured toning coming through on both sides. The photo makes it look dull and have no hair detail, in fact its very sharp individual strands and a lot of shine - my camera seems to have an induced wear factor (That coin in the photo looks VF, but I can ensure you in the flesh its AU).

Yes a nice piece
George VI silver is a great type to collect, most dates offer high grade examples at very affordable prices compared to other reigns.
George has helped me get an affordable selection of shiny halfcrowns and florins compared to the dull wear of George V and Victoria! (Well okay some GV is affordable, some is not - example my EF 1929 halfcrown cost $20, my EF 1912 halfcrown cost $120).

Nice one, Dorado! Those Parys Mines tokens circulated all over Great Britain - I've found one in Kent with my metal detector! Especially for today, I thought I'd post my unique 1961 halfpenny!

Great group Paddy B - is the medieval penny Henry III long cross coinage? Great mix too.
Numis Rob, that looks like a 1964 with the horizontal line removed from the 4!

Yes, the penny is Henry III long cross penny, ION on Canter(bury). The 1872 3D is Maundy, not circulation. The Philip & Mary shilling is the scarcest. The 1936 shilling is just stunning condition.
