    British George III coins including GOLD!

    As promised here are a few more of my DFX finds.
    They are all George III and that is my only gold coin so far!
    They date from 1800 to 1818
    the gold is a Third guinea 1800
    the large silver is a Halfcrown 1818
    the medium silvers is a shilling 1817
    the 2 little sivers are sixpences. 1816 and 1817

    Again I hope you all enjoy the pics i will post the Roman coins next.

    Good luck to you all....................................Colin

    Another great batch of coins! WOW!

    Here in the states gold coins are very difficult to find.

    Do they find many in the UK?

    What VDI numbers did the sixpences and shillings read at?
    Those early PA settlers did too much and that is why coppas are found in abundance!

    The Three Datectateers will miles to find the Colonial "stuff"!

    Well done Colin! Those are some nice coins.
    The only ones for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky.

    MrSovereign mentioned gold hammered, please see mine.

    Its going in the British Numismatic Journal (BNJ) of this year. Only 10 are recorded a year.

    Its a gold Qrter Noble of Edward III - 1351.

    Thanks
