David SE Posted Tuesday at 11:20 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 11:20 PM Some pieces are very unique. Such as the 100th Anniversary of the Tutankhamen Tomb, both silver and gold and only one trial piece Henri Charriere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how is his predilection for collecting these any different from the usual fare served up on this Forum? I will allow it. Show us what you've got, David.

It's a long standing (900 years or so) judicial proceeding. White wigs, black robes, the firm of Rude, Belittling, and Smug. The whole shmeer.

I’ll post both graded (ngc) and directly ungraded from UK Mint Why, of course. At your leisure. I am delighted to see you recognize that the examples received directly from the UK Mint are just fine as is and that the certificate with imprimatur accompanying them, enjoys universal recognition and acceptance by the coin collecting community, obviating the need for formal certification.

Henri Charriere Posted Wednesday at 09:48 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:48 PM I wonder if our Grand Master would condemn this, too, as shmegegge (baloney)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted Wednesday at 11:30 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:30 PM First time I have ever seen these. Very nice. BTW, the term "Piefort," French for foot (pied) and fort (strong) is used to denote coins minted on doubly-thick planchets. Is this the case here? Just curious.

David SE Posted yesterday at 12:22 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 12:22 PM (edited) Yes absolutely. I will have to research about the planchets. Edited yesterday at 12:23 PM by David SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
