    Quite right. It wasn’t until 1523 when the queue-it system was introduced that they first started to need produce codes. The Royal Mint will proudly tell you that the very same system exists today. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, they say.

    I’ve waited an age for these two eBay auction bargains to land.
    The slabs look older than the coins! And are so badly scuffed and scratched that it was difficult to get photos of the lovely coins they entomb.   The one holding the 1960 New York Exhibition Crown is almost opaque.

    Visited York Coin Fair today.  Not a scrap of Silver bought, but I did buy a wonderful example of the 1953 Coronation Set.  Nice Cameo on the Cupronickel and the Bronze coins, are delightful, particularly the Farthing .

    Received these three lovely Crowns. Thanks @Iacabu for the ‘Restoration of the Monarchy’ £5.  That’s the first tray in my modern cabinet filled with both £5’s and a dozen Piedfort £5’s. 
    Three different Portraits here, I’m always surprised that the IRB Portrait endured for so long.   In my opinion it’s neither a flattering depiction nor is it distinguished- and unfortunately spanned the releases of some very special Sovereign releases.

    Arrived today, bought from Chards.
    Two lovely Silver Proof £5 Crowns with interesting and modern alternative interpretations of the classic George & Dragon design.  
    These commemorating Prince George’s 2nd & 5th Birthday- and will sit nicely beside the ‘The Royal Birth’ and the 1st Birthday £5 Crowns.
    If anyone has the Prince George Christening £5 Crown and wishes to part with it, please give me a shout 👍 
    A lovely Set! 😃

    That’s  a beautiful coin- Looks like it’s a couple of hundred years old in the photos in that lighting.
    A tiny flaw- nothing’s perfect in this world- if you like it- keep it 👍

    Vintage Johnson Matthey London 1 kilo bar,
    lovely surprise when I came back from work and gym today,
    the bar has a three digit serial after looking on the allengelhard site they only have 4 and 5 digit serials so it might be super old!
    it also has a almost sparkly flakey finish you might be able to see in the pics.
     
     Any info is appreciated.
