Coinage in the Greek World

Two giants of the ancient Greek coin world, Ian Carradice and Martin J. Price, wrote this book. Carradice ordered the previously chaotic Persian Siglos into time periods while Martin J. Price did the same for Alexander the Great’s empire, they came together to write this triumph! Through 154 pages and nearly 300 pictures find out how the coins we still use today were invented by the Ancient Greeks and why the designs were so important from the 7th Century B.C. to when the Romans came to dominate in the 1st Century B.C. Retailing at £25, don’t miss our special half price offer of only £12.50.

Victoria Farthing 1899 Extremely Fine

Victorian Farthings featuring the “Old” or “Veiled” Head were only minted from 1895 - 1901. From 1897, the vast majority were “mint darkened” at the mint, this was to stop the public trying to pass the shiny new bronze farthings off as Half Sovereigns! This practice continued until 1925. We recently got hold of a large group of these farthings, they must have been put away for a very long time as they are all around Extremely Fine, but not lustrous as they were darkened. Whatever the catalogue price is, it’s safe to say the 1895 is rarer than the book suggests!
