Does this qualify? Struck during British occupation of Guadeloupe:

That quarter farthing is among the best coins ever posted at the Darkside! I love that penny too, Bill.

I'll soon PCGS this one and sell the rest of the 1901 set.

Okay, one good dump deserves another, this one from Dominica:

Followed by my favorite GB token (aside from my avatar), a pretty scarce half-crown:

And last, my favorite GB toner:

Best to all!

I had BS post two of my crowns earlier... however, I got grades today for three British coins from PCGS... an 1887 Double Florin MS64, 1887 1/2 Crown MS64, and an 1889 Crown MS62

coinpictures · February 29, 2008 10:49AM

I don't own this set any more, but I enjoyed it for the short period of time I did...

TwoKopeiki · February 29, 2008 10:55AM

CP - you captured that 3p wonderfully!

Everyone has some fantastic coins in this thread!

Edit to add: ... and medals!!!

1860 Halfpenny, beaded border:

1860 Halfpenny, toothed border:

The rare 1869 Halfpenny - rarer than the 1869 penny but still cheaper. Try getting a full date set of 1869 denominations in UNC, quite a challenge.

Doogy · April 3, 2008 3:31AM

tomorrow is Friday, and I know many of you have gotten some NEWPS, so let's see 'em!

FilthyBroke · April 3, 2008 4:25AM

Still a bit crusty...

Man, mine looks like a piece of crud compared with these others....

IstilllikeZARcoins · April 3, 2008 5:02AM

And a simple Sovereign but I really like the way this photo turned out ( coin has since been sold ):
