New Stock September 2024 (Part II)

In 1971, for the first time, the Royal Mint issued decimal Half Pence coins as well as the One Pence and the Two Pence coins. The Half Pence ceased to be made in 1984 and it looks like the other two denominations are on their way out as well. Only in 1971 did the Royal Mint issue its bronze coins in rolls. Each roll contained 50 coins and they were shrink wrapped. These coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition still in their original rolls even though they are now 53 years old. Oh yes, the denomination was ‘New Pence’, it was not until 1982 that they dropped the word ‘New’ and they became just Pence. BU rolls of 50 coins all dated 1971. The tough one to get is the 1971 One Pence roll. Just for your edification: one dealer is selling the 1971 coins one by one, not a roll but just one coin for the following prices 1p £3.00 (£150)!

The Royal Mint really went to town on this 2022 mint set, of course they didn't know at the time that it would be the last of the Queen's coins ever! The 2023 set of King Charles coins has proved to be popular and we think this 2022 set will appeal to even more collectors. The Mint has long been sold out of this 2022 mint set, but with our contacts around the world, we were finally able to locate a small supply. And what a set it is! You have to see it to believe it. You have the old style minor coins, which we and most collectors hated, they looked like mint errors. That is the 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p and 50p. Plus the new style bi-metallic £1 and the bi-metallic £2 with Britannia's head on it. Plus you get the 70th anniversary of her coronation 50 pence and the Birmingham Commonwealth Games 50 Pence. Plus you get the Dame Vera Lynn commemorative £2 and the Alexander Graham Bell commemorative £2. You then top it all off with a £5 piece for the 70th anniversary of service by the Queen. It is a large and very interesting set and it is the last coinage of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II. All of the coins are Specimen Uncirculated condition. That means they don't have all the nicks and scratches that you see on the coins in your change. It is a fitting memorial to our longest serving Monarch. Let's be honest, you would have never seen most of these coins in your change and certainly not in collector's specimen condition. Long sold out by The Mint and not available elsewhere. While our small supply lasts, this fantastic 13-coin set of 2022 Queen Elizabeth's last coins can be yours for just £75.

We had some water damage in one of our warehouses, some of our medallion cases got ruined, but the medals were not touched as they were in protective capsules. So we have thrown the cases away and listed the 4th July American Independence Medal at just £3.95 each. Each medal is full crownsized. Our loss is your gain, fantastic value at just £3.95 each, supplies are limited!

This most unusual set of medallions says it all ‘Never Forget’, never forget what happened on 9-11 in the United States. When terrorists attacked the World Trade Centre in New York City but also the Pentagon in Washington D.C. The planchet, or piece of metal the medallion is struck on, is not round but rather in the shape of the Pentagon. That is what makes this collection so impressive. Each has a full-colour photograph on the obverse. They are gold plated with the reverses showing the World Trade Centre and ‘We will not tire, we will not falter and we will not fail’ G.W. Bush. They are a fantastic set, yes they cost just a little bit more than the normal sets but we assume this shape costs more to make. The small extra cost will immediately be worthwhile when you see this stunning 9-11 ‘Never Forget’ Collection. It comes in a Worth Collection presentation case.

This bronze coloured medallion has an American Flag highlighted in red, white and blue on the obverse. There are also three servicemen highlighted in black saluting that flag. The reverse in gold out of red thanks those who served their country. Full crown-sized in a protective capsule. We thought it was time to thank those who served and help their country. There are so many who forgot them and disrespected them that we thought it was time to change that. A Special low price so you can give one as a gift to those that served and honoured their country.

On 6 January 1198, the Armenian Kingdom was formed when the then Prince Levon (The Lion) II was crowned as King Levon I, King of Cilician Armenia. He became known as ‘Levon the Magnificent’ due to his numerous contributions to political, military, and economic influence. His growing power made him a particularly important ally for the neighbouring crusader state of Antioch. The coinage of King Levon I set the standard for that of following Cilician rulers, comprising coins struck in silver, copper, and bronze and the odd, very rare, gold issue. On these silver Trams, he is shown seated facing on an ornamented throne, holding a cross and fl eur-de-lis with the legend ‘Levon King of the Armenians’ around. The reverse depicts a pair of lions standing back to back flanking a tall cross with the legend ‘By the Will of God’ in Armenian around it. It is in Very Fine condition and is now over 800 years old from a once influential but now long-forgotten kingdom.

Although for a long time most Australian coins were minted in London, Sydney or Melbourne, production during World War 1 was transferred to the Calcutta Mint in India to prevent currency shipments from Europe being intercepted by the German Navy. Unlike all other coins for use in Australia, these pennies did carry an “I” mint mark on the reverse just above the date. We have a small number of these coins struck between 1916 and 1918 in Very Fine condition.
