Coin Palace - rare early British Coins

[CoinStruck]

I am in Japan on holiday and had a day trip to the city of Kobe.

 

While there I thought I would see if there were any coin dealers and found a listing for “Coin Palace”. Thinking it would be a typical local coin shop I turned up to discover that I needed to book a time. They were not busy and very kind enough to let me in to take a look around their magnificent display room.

 

As I was looking at the first coin, an Edward III hammered gold Noble graded MS63, the owner explained that he specialises in rare British coins. As you can see from the photos he has some of the worlds highest graded examples along with Patten coin such as:-

- the 1817 sovereign pattern coin;

- 1817 Three Graces Pattern coin;

- 1910 silver pattern coin with an alternative design for the “rocking horse” crown.

 

He had 12 Gothic Crowns on display.

 

An 1887 £5 sovereign graded PF 66 Ultra Cameo with its original presentation box.

 

And lots more! I only wish that I had taken more photos.

Thanks for sharing, fellow Aussie. ☺️

How privileged to have been able to see these beauties in person.

Wow.

I wish I could visit a coin shop.
I don't think there is one in the entire West Country so I've never got to see a display of coins.

(Did see a couple of wildly over priced Britannias in a pawn shop window once, that's the closest I got!)
