One the most popular series that we offer are the King George III crownsized Patinas. After all none of these were issued at the time and if you want something of George III from that country, these are all you have!

They are full crownsized (38mm) struck in Prooflike cupronickel and have the George III bust as used on the Bank of England Dollar of 1804 on the obverse and the elephant on the reverse, alovely design.

These are, of course, retro-dated to 1808. You won’t find better value anywhere.

Canada George V Large 1c_obv

Canada, George V, Large 1 cent

In the reign of King George V, the Canadian Mint issued the One Cent coin in both large size and small size. They reduced the size of the coin to save money. We bought a nice group of the older large sized King George V Canadian Cent. The coins are in Fine condition and we have a few different dates available. This coin was struck only from 1912 to 1920. Dates will be of our choice but the more coins you order the more different dates we will try and give you. A perfect example of how countries save metal without reducing the face value of their coinage. The first large cent was issued under Queen Victoria and the last under George V.

United States of America, Buffalo Nickel, 1913 - 1938. In circulated condition.

US Buffalo Nickel, 1913. In circulated condition. First struck in 1913 and now 111 years old, this popular design was part of an attempt to make the US coinage more attractive. This five Cent coin features the head of a Native Indian on one side and an American Bison on the reverse. They quickly proved popular with the American public and despite concerns about how quickly the coins became worn in circulation, continued to be minted until 1938 when they were replaced by the Jefferson Nickel. All coins have a full date. Most coins are dated in the 1930s. Dates of our choice.

Picture of St. Thomas & Prince Scarce Crown

St. Thomas & Prince Scarce Crown

In 1985St. Thomas & Prince issued a cupro-nickel crown or 100 Dobras to honour their 10th anniversary of Independence. It is a small and fascinating island, however, getting coins or banknotes from there is almost impossible. Two banknote dealers who went there were put in jail accused of money laundering. So this Crown is even more interesting and important. I think it is the first crown we have had from St. Thomas & Prince. You have an outline picture of the island on one side and the coat of arms on the reverse with two birds holding it up. A most unusual and difficult crown to find, in fact, most of this country's coins are difficult to obtain...
