RareSov

Ok I'm back

Picked up this beauty recently, 1880/70 Sovereign. Very Rare new variety. Came with a sale ticket from 1991 for 280 Pounds (!) see images, graded almost EF, ex B Linder collection. Spink 3856A means WW buried

Unlisted in my Spink 2006 ?? theres a 1880/70 for each other type, but not for this obverse (WW buried)

Anyone know more, or who B Linder is/was ?

ant : NAPOLEON III EMPEROR

and EMPIRE FRANCAIS

What else is on there, I'm assuming its a Franc or so ?

Now you know the exact inscriptions, someone should be able to translate

O GIEB ME BROD ME HUNGERT

VERZAGET NICHT - GOTT LEBET NOCH

Medals to hunger emergency and Theuerung 1771/1773 and 1816/1817

In our time coined/shaped by the abundance, only few humans use thoughts to the terrible hunger emergencies of that time. It was reported at that time on the fact that in the Appenzellerland hungernden humans on the meadows dried up dug for grass roots. From the hunger time of distress even still another prescription of a May beetle soup is delivered. Maikäfer and many other insects have a high content of proteins and fats, which were partly also used by darbenden humans. The prescription, of me personally tested and after own Gusto refined, can be dispatched gladly on request. The soup mundet excellently. The today's hunger emergencies are far away our civilization and affect few contemporaries. According to some shocking pictures over hunger disasters in Africa, Asia or South America, which are radiated occasionally at the TV, the everyday life with its offer in excess gets us. We bite, push Genüsslich again into the fat sausage something bread after and rinse with appropriate Wohlbehagen with a cool Bierchen or a delicious wine.

These intending medals are able to point out perhaps the problems of the times of distress at that time to something. The fears and emergencies of the population at that time, the argument with over-powerful nature with its climatic fluctuations, all this on the medals one holds. In addition, the Huldigung at God, which the harvest benediction was to be thanked, we find in the pictures. In addition, there the usurers came on Gepräge, which enriched themselves at the distressed population shameless. Impressive also the tin medal, which represents 1773/1774 mouse troubles in Saxonia. Remarkably the putting medal, arranged of the well-known Medailleur T. Stettner, with handkolorierten inserts. For the coinages predominantly cheaper metals were used such as lead, tin or copper/brass. This may be perhaps also a reason that these medals do not find so many lovers, completely to injustice actually, if one regards the beautiful, styleful Design.

Sorry ant, not for you

Yes nice Real ! pretty well detailed by the looks

Have finally added a PROPER Type II Sydney Mint coin to my collection

CH UNC she's a beauty and should slab an almighty MS64 or better *fingers crossed*

Wow nice !

The start of my 1937 proof set is the 2 pound. NGC PF66 Cameo

And picked up this lustrous 1895-S Sov NGC MS64

But my favourite recent acquisition is the 2007 Subscription coin, a recreation of the most valuable coin (4 pounds) in Australia's proclamation of 1800. The 1732 Gold Johanna, or 12800 Reis

You could check for lacquer pits on the surface if you have a microscope ? it should build in the tiny areas that are pits, anywhere there is a mark or indentation might have a reservoir of substance

Not at all but the reverse fields definitely show something, you are right..

Guess I better post some recent coin image!

Got this 1825 Half Sovereign from Goldberg pre Long Beach

Some nice coins !!

SuperDave I may have the coin you seek =D

It was purchased in an old green PCGS holder MS64

Its now with NGC and will be imaged, so send me your email by private message and I'll send you the image the day I get it.. I expect the coin to be MS65

NO large bagmarks, only a really really tiny line of them on the obverse, takes about 5 minutes with a glass to find them ! finest known to NGC so far is one MS64
