My Coin Box

A shilling, 12 pence, 5 cents they all mean the same thing. That's right, this U.S. Quarter-sized, 92.5% pure silver coin was to B...

One of three sixpence coins I have and this is the only copper-nickel one. So far, shillings are the most common pre-decimal coins I ha...

Nothing really interesting at all here. Just that this coin was from the last year of Edward VII's reign. Not sure if it's beca...

Here's a coin with a somewhat interesting story. Not really historically interesting, just the way I got it. As I was walking throu...

Not in the best condition but it's got a nice effigy of Queen Victoria and it's from the 1800's. If this coin was in just ...

 This coin is a monster! It is Ike Dollar sized for those of you who know how big and heavy one is but the scary thing is, it was a qu...

This is my second favorite British coin. I haven't posted my first favorite yet but I will soon. I'm not sure how it managed t...

I got this at the flea market for silver value along with a few other coins that have been shown already and a few that have yet to be...

The dreaded pound. These coins are heavy, wear easily, and almost always look like they've been run over a few times. At least ...

These 20 pence coins are some of my favorites. The design is struck inward and outward and the coin itself is seven-sided. I especiall...

Remember waaaaay back when I got that British 2 Shilling coin well you don't have to since I put that link there. However, if you...

                                              BE SURE TO VISIT MY NUMISTA! Got this as a gift back in '06 I believe. That's ...

Got this as a gift a few years back. It's pretty dull with some wear, staining, and marks. The one thing I thought is pretty cool ...

Got this as a gift a few years back. Not much of a story to tell about it. It's a bit worn and turning that brown color that happe...

Remember those posts that were all gifts a little over a week ago? This is also one of those gifts.  The obverse has the Queen Elizabet...

Got this as a gift the other day. It is a 1966 British 2 Shillings coin. It is fairly worn and has a big scratch on the Queen's he...

A coin on a cylindrical can there's a difficult shot! Well I suppose it's not as dificult if you have two-sided tape like I did...

Got this at... uh... nevermind. It's a 1901 British penny as it says clearly in the title and not so clearly on the coin. It's...
