  1. Welcome to the forum. Larger photos are needed to make a judgement call, I think.
  2. They're on their way to you now! Congratulations and thanks for bidding - I've got more ending this weekend.
  3. I've listed a mixture on eBay tonight. Rare Singaporean gold, Anglo-Saxon silver and some proof sets: http://www.ebay.com/sch/historiccoinage/m.html
  4. It looks genuine. The moneyer is Henri and the mint is London. It looks to be a class 5b of King John.
  5. They're coins of the Dutch United East India Company. The VOC is the acronym for the company - Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie.
  6. The one on the right is an Edward I penny of London. Looks to be a class 3.
  7. Unfortunately these are one of the most common commemorative coins ever produced. In good condition they might fetch £1 or so each.
  8. Looks like an Indian religious token - like this.
  9. I like this idea. Perhaps a round for a coin which you have to buy specifically for PCI and costs next to nothing.
  10. Yep, as Kev says, it's a halfcrown. Many coins from this period do not have a denomination stated as it's mainly done by size and reverse design.
  11. Nice to see you back, Vfox! I really do like that 8 reales piece.
  12. Welcome! The first is a 1745 sixpence or shilling, depending upon diameter, of George II. It was minted using silver plundered from the French just off the coast at Lima, Peru, hence the Lima under his bust. Here's a link to a similar one that has been sold. The second is a Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee Medallion from 1897. Again, its value depends on size. Here's a link to a similar one that has been sold.
  13. I suspect that this could be a tactic to help the fraudster improve their fakes for next time...
  14. Last few hours! http://www.ebay.com/...ccoinage/m.html
  15. What does it weigh (if you have accurate scales)? It is very worn, so that might explain some of it, if it was worn and then plated. Clive.
  16. Art's quite right. It appears to be either for aesthetic reasons or, very commonly, a school experiment: http://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/practical-chemistry/turning-copper-coins-silver-and-gold
