In the short reign of King Edward VII, only one crown was ever made, that was in 1902 for his Coronation. They have his bare head on one side and St. George slaying the dragon on the other side. They are struck in Sterling Silver and the mintage was just 250,000 Crowns. This is a very important type coin, because if you want an Edward VII Crown you have to get a 1902 one or none at all. We have been building our supplies up again and finally have enough to offer this Edward VII Crown in Fine and in Very Fine condition. The choice is yours, but supplies are very limited.

Even after 67 years in coins we are still proud to say that we learn something new every day. Recently, a dealer was offering us a rather nice lot of high grade of 1887 Jubilee Head Half Sovereigns. We have sold a large number of the later dates of Jubilee Half Sovereigns of late, we were helping a friend distribute a parcel that he found on the Continent. These coins are the first year of issue and in a much nicer grade than they normally come in. But then he told me that the 1887 Half Sovereign is a one-year type coin. It seems that the Mint in 1887 used silver to mix with the gold and the colour of the gold coin is slightly different than all the other years. We didn’t know that. You learn something new every day…

Ariobarzanes I (grandfather of Ariobarzanes III) was technically the King of Cappadocia from 95 B.C. to 63/62 B.C. After the previous royal line died out he was chosen by the people and appointed by the Roman area governor, the famous Sulla, earning the nickname Philorhomaios (friend of the Romans). Over the next 30 years Mithradates VI Eupator of Pontos removed Ariobarzanes three times, but each time the Romans would put him back on the throne. Finally, Mithradates was defeated once and for all by Pompey the Great who gave some extra territory to Ariobarzanes. After expanding his territory and meeting all the big names of the time we suspect he had had enough and abdicated for his son, Ariobarzanes II! We offer a Silver Drachm from Cappadocia of Ariobarzanes I. They show his head on the obverse with Athena holding Nike on the reverse. They grade Very Fine and we bought this small group very well so we are going to pass the savings on this Greek silver to you!

Gallienus ruled as sole emperor from A.D. 260-268 during one of the most difficult times in the history of the empire. Not only was the empire facing natural disasters and invasions on all sides but he had to face at least 8 rebellions from his own governors and generals! He issued a fantastic group of bronze Antoniniani coins to honour the Gods, asking for their protection against these troubles. We are offering the Doe looking behind her, designed to honour Diana, the sister of Apollo and the goddess of the hunt. This was likely to bring luck to hunting and like her brother, for plagues and disease. The coins are Very Fine but because of the chaos at the time remember they may be a little weakly struck. As always the first to order will get the best. We found the last of these coins from the only other time we ran them, once they are sold at this price, no more will be left...

In 1986 the Royal Mint thought we needed a new coin, so for the first time ever, they issued a £2 piece NOT in gold. Before then all £2 pieces were struck in 22ct Gold. This 1986 £2 was also the first commemorative £2. It was issued for the Commonwealth Games which were held in Edinburgh. For the first time, a Proof Set contained a non-gold £2 piece. The 1986 Proof Set contains 1p, 2p, 5p, plus 10p, 20p, and 50p not struck for circulation, plus the £1 and £2 coins. All coins including the ones not struck for circulation come in Proof condition, the set comes in the Royal Mint case of issue.

Richard is proud to be a dual British and American national, but, there is one day each year when he feels confused. And that day is the 4th of July. For Americans, it is a day to celebrate their independence from the British. For the British, it is the day they lost the American Colony. When The Worth Collection offered us a set of five medallions to celebrate the 4th of July Richard did not know what to do. Then he saw the collection and his mind was made up. It is a fantastic set and well worth having. You get five crown sized medals with full-colour paintings of battles being waged. You have the British red coats, the Americans with their flags flowing and it was after all almost 250 years ago. They are in Proof condition with reverse reading United States of America Independence Day 4th July. Just to show that we are fair to both sides, instead of the usual price of £22.50 we are going to offer them at just £19.50. And that's because Richard cannot make up his mind. He wants both sides to win!

2001 Falkland Islands crownsized 50 Pence featuring HM the Queen on the obverse and Henry VII and his sovereign on the reverse. Proof Silver Piedfort.

2001 Falkland Islands crown sized 50 Pence featuring HM the Queen on the obverse and Henry VII and his sovereign on the reverse. Proof Sterling Silver.

This is the third of the four coins on coins issued by the Falkland Islands. It is a silver proof crown and a piedfort silver proof crown of Queen Elizabeth II with a gold-plated earlier coin on it. We cannot be totally sure, but we believe that the mintage was just 100 pieces in either thickness. They are in Proof condition and rather low mintage and most reasonably priced. But please hurry as supplies are quickly running low…

1887 Jubilee Head Half Sovereign About Unc.

In 1980 the late Queen Mother celebrated her 80th birthday. The Royal Mint issued a special commemorative crown to honour the event. It was in fact, one of the last crowns that the Mint would ever issue. You had the Queen Mother on one side and her daughter, the Queen on the other side. We can offer you this cupro-nickel crown in Uncirculated condition plus we can give a full-colour postcard issued by the Post Office showing the stamp they issued for her 80th birthday. You get the crown and the postcard, both official issues for just £3.95. Very good value for money, don't you think?

This is the smallest coin in Switzerland. It is a one Rappen and it was struck in 1921 exactly 101 years ago. We bought exactly 100 coins, which at the time was exactly 1 Swiss Franc. The current catalogue price is $35.00 which is about £28.00 at today’s exchange rate. We bought them right and we are going to sell them right. 100 of our collectors can have one at just £15.00 which is almost half price. Get them while you can, we bought them right, we sell them right…
