Yarm Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 After the death of William Pitt in 1806, a dozen or so Pitt Clubs were formed in Britain to carry on his patriotic ideals. Some of the club medals were encapsulated with a silver ring and glass lenses. Gotta like things like this for the cost of an uncirculated Morgan dollar!

Yarm Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Apparently only a bit of an exaggeration. This large high relief French science medal from 1874 just arrived. $11 + shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RareSov Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Welcome ! instantly thought of you I love the quote on the Perth Mint site ! To say that Australians celebrated after winning the 1983 America’s Cup is something of an understatement. As Time Magazine reported after Australia II’s victory, “the land Down Under had not witnessed such an orgy of jubilation since V-J day ended the war in the Pacific.” I remember this so well.. I was at school the next day and excitement is not the word. The Prime Minister at the time Bob Hawke said on National TV "any boss who fires a bloke for not showing up for work today is a MUG" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pendragon1998 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I recently added this 1998 NGC MS69 Silver Britannia to my set, courtesy of dabigkahuna (thanks, Larry!). Now I'm down to needing only the 2007 and 2008 britannias to complete my MS69 set (leads appreciated). Anyhow, I'm working on getting my photo of the coin the way I like it, and along the way, I took this pic. I'm about 95% happy with these pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarm Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Great shots of those talers and Britannias! Here's an oddball piece I picked up in the recent Baldwin's auction. Apparently there are a slew of variations for 1840 Rupees. I was interested in examples from the Bombay mint where Victoria's nose and eyes were tweaked slightly to created a more attractive and somewhat exotic image (the "Indian Head") Unfortunately, I did not win an "English head" example for comparison purposes.

RareSov Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Perth Mint coin is a definite winner !! I was told they are SOLD OUT AT THE MINT they are turning people away !! That may be for only walk-in orders, internet ordering is still online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarm Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 The seller's pictures seemed to show simple black lettering on the reverse of this frosted silver Pitt Club medal. However, the raised lettering is actually brilliant silver. Any guesses as to whether this is silver leaf or some sort of reverse proof effect?

Yarm Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Geez, it's tough enough trying to evaluated things based on camera images but scanners just make it impossible! Then again, sometimes the scan keeps the price down on a particularly nice piece so perhaps I shouldn't complain. The first pair of images is the seller's and the second pair is mine.
