I was thinking possibly doing the same.

Mystery solved. Limited number of medals each numbered 1-200.

Modern is in the eye of the beholder or possibly location. The modern sovereign is noted as those start were minted started in 1817. When your history goes back to 1489, modern can mean something different. No rumble and no jungle. Float like a butterfly - sting like a …

Coins of England & the United Kingdom, Pre-Decimal Issues Coins of England & the United Kingdom, Decimal Issues Coins of Scotland, Ireland and the Islands, including Anglo-Gallic Coins As of 16th April 2024 Sovereign Rarities Ltd, London, UK, has acquired the above three publications from Spink & Son Ltd, who in turn acquired the publications in 1997 from B. A. Seaby Ltd. B A Seaby had originally produced a more basic one volume catalogue dating from the late 1920s, expanding to Scottish and Irish later on. The splitting of the decimal and pre-decimal denominations was a more recent innovation of the last decade as the modern issue era became more expansive and continues to grow under King Charles III. The new release of the pre-decimal and decimal catalogues remains a highly anticipated annual event in the worldwide numismatic calendar, as British coins are so internationally collected in the modern era. The acquisition by Sovereign Rarities Ltd will see the next edition for 2025 produced under their branding for the first time and Managing Director Ian Goldbart commented: ‘We are delighted to have acquired the three titles, which we intend to continue to produce in the coming years. In one form or another, Coins of England has been issued for almost 100 years. Having first acquired a copy, when I started collecting in 1976, to this day, the book remains a staple part of my numismatic diet.'

Nice try, but no cigar. No tri-colored ribbon for the pin and bars. Years 1912 and 1913, conventions were held, but this member either did not attend or did not purchase a bar for those years. De Profundis may have been made popular by Oscar Wilde, but it is much better known in other circles. As for the metal and links, well that’s another story. As for the meaning of the number 14, that has not been confirmed yet - but it was not the mintage. ANA President Zerbe, at the time, was the driving force behind the ANA convention medals. By the way, the first convention was held in 1891.

$100

I wasn’t sure how much interest there would be in early ANA convention pin and bars. I put a bid in and forgot about it. Needless to say, I did not win it, but have a question about the number on the back of the medal? What is the significance of it? There are also markers marks which I find interesting. anyone know what the number 14 on the back of the medal represents? 14th attendee? missed my chance on this one.

I-65 to I#80 to the Tristate (294). Lots of traffic, but doable.

Both courses sound very interesting. Never heard of the scholarship.

It would be nice for forum members to show some of their numismatic club or society tokens/medals and describe any meaning or symbolism to/on them.

Yep that’s it. I have the book on it written in both Polish and English. The 80 is coming up at auction soon. Have a million to spare?

Maybe this one… if not the 100, maybe the 80!

I would also assume double eagles as gold dollars would be a feat in itself. Here’s a bit more from the Melbourne records: In 1925 large shipments of gold from America arrived and the Melbourne Mint was authorised to pay for imported gold in sovereigns.

Good luck with the surgery. Too bad about Rosemont,

Excellent find by the way!

A total of American gold dollars weighing 58,979.94 ounces were melted in Melbourne during 1925. Possibly all from the transfer mentioned above. The Melbourne Mint archives should have additional information on this melting. This amount was recorded in the Royal Mint reports and the information was provided to the Royal Mint by the the Superintendent of the Melbourne Mint. Australian sovereigns were sought after because of their more yellowish hue given off from the alloy of silver vice the British copper. This pretty much ended in 1868/1869, however when the Royal Mint mandated that all sovereigns no matter where they were minted conform to British standards - thus copper alloy. The mints did experiment in some later years with using silver and copper as alloys, but this was short lived. You can find Australian sovereigns having silver as well as sovereigns having copper as an alloy dated 1868. It is believed that those minted with the copper alloy were actually minted in 1869, but dated 1868 as there are no Sydney sovereigns dated 1869.

The ANA WFOM will be in Rosemont (Crook County) again this year. Although rather early, is anyone planning on attending? Kurt, are you going to attend now that you’ve had a spat with the ANA board? All of the other numismatic associations and societies as well as clubs issue member medals. Why doesn’t the ANA? They have convention medals. I think it would be a nice touch. They are big enough to even have the member’s number engraved on it,

Less than melt is always good!

Not really my kind of movies, but interesting and well presented. Thank you for sharing something a bit different.

Governor Macquarie set the value of the holey dollar at five shillings, with 15 pence for the dump. These coins went into circulation in 1814. The New South Wales colonial administration began recalling the holey dollars and dumps and replacing them with sterling coinage starting in 1822. When the holey dollar was finally demonetised in 1829, most of the 40,000 coins in circulation had been exchanged.

QA, did you know that there were coins being minted in over 70 mints in England at one time? Your question: when and how many mints???

Looks great, I will have to take more time reading…. Nice job Lee!

Like I said - slice and dice. Is a $5 proof NCLT that doesn’t even have an eagle on it considered a half eagle or a piece of modern metallic art?

Now we can open the debate why West Point Mint counts or does not count regarding OPs question.

Mike - too much information!!! On the bidding of course.
