Falkand Islands, 50 Pence (History of British coins - Queen Victoria Young Head Sovereign) 2001) Silver Proof

We don’t know where it came from we don’t know when we bought it or even how much we paid for it, but all that said it is there. It contains George VI and Queen Elizabeth II Farthings and has never been sorted for better Dates or varieties. It is just how we bought them… We are going to have one of the staff members who doesn’t handle the coins, to just count them out into packages of 10 coins, come what may. We have had a quick look and they look much nicer than we would have expected let’s call them selected circulated. So you get a bag of 10 South African Farthings totally unchecked. After all the South African Farthing is not a coin you will see everyday.

This American Silver Dollar was named after its British engraver, George T. Morgan. The Morgan Dollar was first made in 1878 and last made in 1904. Then in 1921 for some reason, they got the old dies out, made them look a bit more modern, and struck another Morgan Silver Dollar. The last Morgan dollar… Until last year when they issued a 2021 Morgan Dollar and the price skyrocketed. Now they say that they cannot get enough blanks and this year’s issue is canceled! It all sounds a bit crazy, so we looked around and found out we had some of the original the 1921 Silver Morgan Dollar, the one-year type. These are nice large silver coins and are now 101 years old, offered in Extremely fine condition. Don't miss out, get one for your collection.

In the ten months that Edward VIII was King, no coins for this country were struck for circulation. But overseas coins without his portrait but with his name on the coins were struck. One of these places was British West Africa. The Penny which is the largest coin struck, was made at the Royal Mint, Heaton Mint and Kings Norton Mint. The penny on offer here was struck at the Kings Norton mint. All the coins are in Uncirculated condition. The Kings Norton coins were misstruck in larger numbers than the Heaton Mint coins. It should be an interesting item to an Edward VIII collector.
