Well I haven't been on the darkside in a while. I'm glad I came today. I seen alot of nice medals, tokens, and coins. Nice one's all. Azlarry I like the toning on that one you have.

[physics-fan3.14]

Just got this beauty from Dooly, and it is absolutely perfect!

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!

Way Cool!

[rbrown4]

Jackson, are you going to buy this one I just bought THREE

 

Act fast if so Perth Mint or Downies

 

[RareSov]

Probably the most significant event in modern boating history !??

 

I love the coin, I'm thinking of buying more. 100% sure this will sell out, and go up.

[jackson64]

yep...I'll be getting one....thanks for the heads up

[RareSov]

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"

[Taler Universe]

Gotta love them Thalers.

 

See new additions.

[RareSov]

Looks nice !!

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:

 

[Yarm]

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]

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

[Yarm]

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?

 

[farthing]

Beautiful medal yarm!

[RareSov]

My latest is the Royal Shield of Arms silver proof set

 

Got a letter today from the mint saying demand is huge ! no word from NGC whether they will slab these, so hopefully they are looking into it !

[Yarm]

The box for this prize medal reads "Tailor & Cutter Association of Old Students 1903".

 

[farthing]

Won this on eBay yesterday, can't wait for it to arrive!

 

Northumberland Newcastle D&H #19

[Yarm]

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.

 

 

[RareSov]

Nice one !!

[farthing]

This one just arrived today (sellers pics)

 

 

Wexford Ennsicorthy D&H #6 Rated an R, issued for R. Woodcock, a banker in Enniscorthy.

 

Not sure what it would grade out as, this one is at least as nice as the one pictured in Dalton & Hamer. Not bad for £2.90

This a French New Caledonia Note from WW2. It is an emergency issue from April 1943. From what I can find out about it less than 50,000 were printed.
