I do like the ASE…. Something about the size/feel of those bad boys really do it for me

Most of the stuff out of Pressburg is also pretty top notch.

😮🤣you tease. You should show us all your collection 🤔

New coins - I like Perth Mint, Chinese Zodiac.

Old silver - I like Eagles, I collect those which have been made into brooches or pendants Some of the reverse cut are lovely, the thought of an old timer with a tiny file is so evocative.

The Viva Lavida series from Mr Es house of coins in the states @LiquidMetalsUK. I have 2 if the 4 in the set. Always keeping an eye out for the other 2.Absolutely stunning coins. Apologies for the poor pix, i had to grab from the Internet as mine are hidden away. Will try and get some better shots at the weekend.

I don’t own any but I think my favourites are the Victorian, Edwardian and Geo V Crowns, half crowns, dbl Florins, Florins and shillings think they just have beautiful designs.

I've posted these photos before, but here are some of my favourite UK predecimal coin designs (florins and halfcrowns, and then some early milled shillings) .  I think the various George IV and William IV halfcrown designs are well worth adding to your list above 🙂

Indeed they are…I was just generalising those 3 monarchs, beautiful designs.

The reverse of that 1900 florin is an absolutely beautiful design….they all are.

I like the wreath crown design very much.  This is one of my very favourite predecimal silver coins:

I repatriated that coin from an online coin dealer based in New Zealand!  It has lovely toning and is another one of my very favourites.  The obverse is nice too 🙂

There was a 1905 shilling with thee most beautiful toning on eBay for months on end it being very scarce and pricey on its own was priced at £1600 ish just because the toning was unbelievable…it eventually sold.

^^^ What a coin that must have been for the right collector.

It was similar to this only far far better with more blue and purple.

Wow!  That Baldwin's coin is lovely, so if the other one was even better and on sale at a lower price...

But as you probably know, 1905 shillings are sometimes faked, so you'd probably want the reassurance of buying such a coin from a reputable dealer.

I have a much lower grade example but I'm still absolutely pleased to own it (and picked it up for a relatively good price):

Yeah they’re faked all the time.

Your one sells for between £60-£100 am I about right???

[Stuntman]

Yes, that's what I'd expect it would go for.
