Our loss is your gain, fantastic value at just £3.95 each, supplies are limited!
The Halfgroat or Twopence was first introduced in the 14th Century under Edward III. Henry VIII was famous for debasing the silver in Britain’s coins, but Elizabeth made it her objective to raise it back to Sterling standard. For the first time, we’re delighted to offer you Elizabeth I Halfgroats as a feature. They feature Elizabeth facing left on the obverse with two pellets (for two pence) behind the bust and cross over a shield on the reverse. They were struck between 1560 and 1602 and are now up to 463 years old.
Here is the Queen Elizabeth II Sixpences or tanners in Uncirculated condition. Today these coins are not easy to find especially in this unused condition. They also make little presents for the bride at a wedding.
The first Half Crowns to be struck after the Currency Reform Act of 1816 were the so called Bull Head type. The King hated them and they were only made for the end of 1816 and the early part of 1817. The design had to be changed, which in my opinion is a shame as we rather like the design. But the King spoke and the design was changed. This is a two year type coin, or rather it was struck for 10 months but over two years. They are struck in Sterling Silver and the coins we have on off er today are well worn and have seen considerable wear. One that collectors can afford and the last time we offered them, they quickly sold out.

This is a Patina or retro-pattern to show what something might have looked like, had it been issued at the time. These are privately minted to the highest quality and are full crownsized 38mm. This is the George III pattern Crown issued with a large head of George III and an inscription that has caused it to be known as the Incorrupta Pattern. It is struck in Prooflike cupro-nickel to the highest standard. Because we bought these years ago, we can offer them at what seems almost a crazy low price. If they were made today, they would cost a heck of a lot more money.
The Wreath Crown was struck from 1927 to 1936 (except 1935) and became known as “The Christmas Crown” as they were struck late in the year and distributed primarily by the Bank of England as Christmas presents for their favourite clients. With a mintage of only 7,132, you can see how rare these are, especially when you consider the mintage of the iconic and Very Rare 1905 Halfcrown is 166,000. We have a small number of these fantastic 91 year old silver Crowns available in Extremely Fine condition. A fantastic opportunity to add this rarity to your collection.
In 1942, Britain was in the grip of World War II, but the demand for coinage remained and the Royal Mint carried on, business as usual. The threepence was a popular denomination, but during the War years, there was a need for silver elsewhere, so the silver threepences were fazed out and completely replaced by the Brass “Thrupenny bits”. They were a very popular coin and provide the inspiration for today’s £1 coin. They feature George VI on the obverse, and the thrift plant on the reverse. We recently took in a number of high grade Brass Threepennies from 1942 in beautiful Choice Uncirculated condition. A reasonable price for a Choice Uncirculated coin and War-time relic, now 82 years old, a worthy addition to your collection.
