With inflation increasing, it has become harder and harder to find a bargain. When they do come by, they rarely come in large quantities…

These Argentina 2 Centavos were issued from 1882-1896. They are about the size of the old British Penny. They are being sold by type and not by date. The coins are about 150 years old and in Fine or better condition. Not a coin you see every day and to be honest our history with Argentina is not great. It even seems that they are going for the Falkland Islands again. Inflation was 99% in Argentina last year. It seems when things go bad they think of trying to invade somewhere.
In 1984 the Royal Mint issued its second Pound coin for collectors. It was the start of a four-coin series to honour, the different parts of the United Kingdom. In this case, the 1984 issue had a thistle for Scotland on it. They quickly sold out and the prices increased to somewhat ridiculous heights. Luckily the overseas buyers have stopped buying and the price of the 1984 Pound has come down to a level that makes it interesting again for collectors.
In 1981 the Royal Mint issued a special Proof Set for the wedding of Charles & Diana. All of the coins were issued in capsules and the set also contained a gold coin, which we are not offering for sale. You get nice proof examples of Halfpence, Penny, Two Pence, 5 Pence, 10 Pence, and 50 Pence. Each coin is in a capsule as issued and we think this is a much underrated Proof Set issued by the Royal Mint. We have just 10 sets in stock at a special price.
In 2006, the Royal Mint issued a 50 Pence coin to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Institution of the Victoria Cross. The coin depicts a soldier carrying a wounded comrade with an outline of the Victoria Cross behind and a sunburst effect. We are offering the silver-proof version of this coin which really emphasises this emotive design. To make this offer even better, we are pairing it up with a high-quality replica of the Victoria Cross. Stock availability is limited. Place your order NOW to avoid disappointment.
In 1915 the battle of Gallipoli started, the foundation of British Woman’s Institute, ANZAC tradition begins, German U-boat sinks the Lusitania, Pluto is photographed for the first time, 1st prototype tank is tested by British Army and Italy joins the Allies and declares war on Austrian Hungarian Empire. It was a very busy year, King George V had been on the throne for only four years and our coinage was still being struck in Sterling Silver. The largest Silver coin struck in this country was the Halfcrown or Two Shillings and Sixpence, the current decimal equivalent of 12.5 Pence. We have a nice group of Very Fine 1915 King George V Sterling Silver Halfcrowns in stock, which we can now offer you. Remember that Very Fine is much nicer than they usually come. The last time we had some of these Sterling Silver Halfcrowns in Very Fine they quickly sold out.
We have a small group of Brilliant Uncirculated Italian 100 Lire Gold Coins from 1931. You have Vittorio Emanuele III on one side and Italia as a woman on a prow on the reverse. It is struck in 900 fine gold and contains about a quarter of an ounce of pure gold. It is listed as Krause 72 and catalogues $1,700 (£1,416) in MS60 and $2,500 ($2,083) in MS63. We are not experts in American grading, but we do know they are Brilliant Unc condition and we feel our price is very fair. Limit one coin per collector.
