Well, hobby. In particular we have expanded our range of 50p if that’s the case then why not ask them to purchase you coins after they proved very popular in the last edition, a Buckingham Covers gift certificate.

We’ve continued to look out for different and unique products and this time we are particularly pleased with the interesting collections of vintage railway tickets, batches of Kiloware, wartime currency, and the famous Keep on Collecting, ‘White Fivers’. Craig Buggins October 2018 A - Z 10p Collection Earlier this year the Royal Mint released a new set of 26 different 10p coins. Each coin features a letter of the alphabet along with a quintessentially British subject starting with that letter; B for Bond, F for Fish and Chips, and Q for Queue are just three of my favourites! We can offer a limited quantity of the full set of 26 coins in uncirculated condition. Our sets are early strike coins which means they are guaranteed to have been in the first 500,000 minted. Despite them being released in March I have not seen a single one in circulation, with a lot of people saying the same. Many are already fetching very high prices on auction sites so we feel our full set offers good value for money, particularly in uncirculated condition.

  • Silver Coins
    Silver Coins Mintmarks first started to appear under the reign of Edward III and have continued to be used even on the very latest modern decimal issues. Like the older coin inscriptions system of moneyers and town/city names these marks were intended to be used as a way of holding moneyer's accountable for the quality of their coins. Initially this new idea was used in tandem with the older inscriptions system but eventually only the new mintmarks system would prevail. As mintmarks were used to distinguish a coin, who struck it, where and when, it has left us with considerable information in historical archives which we can use to help identify a coin even if it is not dated, or its origin is not immediately known. Hammered coins were produced by placing a blank piece of metal (a planchet or flan) of the correct weight between two dies, and then striking the upper die with a hammer to produce the required image on both sides. The planchet was usually cast from a mold. The bottom die (sometimes called the anvil die) was usually counter sunk in a log or other sturdy surface and was called a pile. One of the minters held the die for the other side (called the trussel), in his hand while it was struck either by himself or an assistant. In later history, in order to increase the production of coins, hammered coins were sometimes produced from strips of metal of the correct thickness, from which the coins were subsequently cut out. Both methods of producing hammered coins meant that it was difficult to produce coins of a regular diameter.
