sandy3075 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Don't forget the South African 1952 5 shillings issued for 300'th anniversary of Capetown - nice boat with Table Mountain on the background I think http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view_enlarge.aspx?id=937709 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Liking the coin in general but also appreciate the younger portraits of Her Maj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Orc Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 That is one of the things I do like about new British coins they have finaly aged her LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ships make a nice theme collection. There are quite a few ship series that have been issued in NCLT in recent years but it is also a great theme on circulating coins going back to Ancients.

De Orc Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Quite a few in NCLT, some rather lovely ones as well in circulated condition I just need to win the lottery so I can buy everything I want LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy3075 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Well, I can't but add some of my own This one has not one but two ships on one coin. 1963 Israel 5 lirot (pounds) one of the early commemorative; Sylvia Haffner desribes the obverse as smokestack of a [then] modern steamer against a background of Haifa and Mount Carmel (which to tell you the truth it does nor resemble) and reverse as an ancient vessel modeled after the incused drawing found on the wall of Hasmonean era tomb in Jerusalem. Oh, and it is a proof variety with MEM mark at the bottom of obverse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Orc Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 LOL thanks for that now I have another one I have to look out for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy3075 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I got another one today. It is not perfect by any means but nice toning, special select (proof-like). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy3075 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Believe it or not but this one in just extra fine costs a lot more than the previous Actually quite typical of the earlier South African bronze circulation - 1926 penny. As for the condition - I bought it as extra fine but it is not quite EF by the close inspection although reverse is truly very very nice.

De Orc Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Two lovely coins you have there Sandy I have a couple of later 1d and 1/2d coins with the same ship on in my collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy3075 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Adding another ship, although a new Canadian thread may have been better. 1949 dollar celebrating Newfoundland joining confederation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Great ship coins Sandy. I think I have a few in my collection of Canadian and UK coins. I'll check over the weekend and photograph a few if I'm correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
