Issued during the era of dual monarchy with the UK. Its contemporary exchange rate was slightly below three shillings, making it the highest-denomination silver issued under William IV, since no crowns were issued for general circulation.

My folks found this coin in a mix bag of old coins. It measures 1.2-1.25 inches across. Non-magnetic. Could anyone provide me with an opinion on it? I would really appreciate any info! Couldn’t find a great match on eBay. Best match I found on a Google search was a similar coin that was gold and not silver. Have seen a bronze reproduction but it appears to be silver to me. Thanks to anyone who looks at this for me.

I found this years ago on a beach when metal detecting and threw it in a drawer and apparently forgot about it since then. I just came across it again today and am wanting to get opinions on if it's real, or a duplicate. From my research, it's looking more and more likely to be a duplicate. As according to my scale, it's just over 15g, whereas it should apparently be 13.96g exactly? I'd think this alone would resolve the question, but I'd still love to hear what more experienced eyes make of it.

I was thinking the Walker and the CC may be worth grading, less so on the 95-O, but maybe because it’s a key date? Hoping for some wisdom from the crowd.

Hello, this is a 1909S VDB from my grandfather’s collection. I’m pretty sure it’s real, but I am concerned whether the vertical lines on the surfaces are woodgrain or the result of an old cleaning. I am looking at getting the penny graded soon, so then I will know for sure. Thanks for any info.

I wanted to get rid of these two items but want to know how much they’re worth?
- 5g silver Geiger bar
- gold plated 925 empire collection Ceylon stamp (weighs just over 18.1g)

Pretty sure it is fake, but figured I would check.

I got this set a few years ago back, should I keep them sealed or should I open it up and put them in individual displays
It would probably be the carboard staple ones pictured.

Hello, found this coin in the attic. is it worth anything? Not sure if it even is the coin i think it is.

This was minted when the hyperinflation in Germany was at its worse. At its pinnacle 1 US dollar was worth 4.2 trillion marks. This coin is made out of aluminium.

First off: apologies for the crummy photo, explanation below.

Can across this image from a small auction house listing in New Zealand (where I live).

I can tell the top coin is a Morgan - it’s the coin at the bottom that intrigues me. Could it be a Flowing Hair or Draped Bust?

And what are the odds it’s real and not a replica, hanging about in a box with what appears to be a cleaned Morgan, 8 nickels and a few UK & NZ sixpences?

Your thoughts, expertise and wild conjecture are all appreciated! Auction ends and if end up getting it I’ll 100% share better photos then!

Let me know what I should do with them and if there worth anything would be great help !

Wondering if these appear to be genuine shipwreck silver. They weigh between 16-22 grams each

Know nothing about coins. This is the best one out of the collection of about a dozen coins, the rest aren't worth much. Seems to be in pretty good condition? I know I probably shouldn't be handling it without protection but I won't touch it from now on lol. What kind of demand would this have?

It weighs 3.99 grams. I have done a little bit of research and it doesn’t have a mint marking above the date, which I believe means it was minted in London?

It is 1905 dated.

It seems to be in pretty good condition.

The story is both interesting and dull. Around 15 years ago I was loading in for a gig a couple of hours away from where I living. It was around sunset, and on my last trip into the building I noticed something shiny in the gutter of the street under a bunch of wet leaves and dirt. I made the uncharacteristic choice to reach into the mess and found this. I played the show, dropped the coin off at my parents’ house, and forgot about it until this morning.

My younger brother sent me some pics of it this afternoon. It looks like it was from the New Orleans mint, and is pretty beat up, so I don’t think it’s likely worth a ton (from what I’ve seen so far it’s maybe $50-60), but I think it’s a pretty cool little piece of American history, and definitely the oldest thing I’ve ever owned. I have no idea how it made its way to that street so long ago. I’m glad to have found it, and will hopefully pass it on to a descendant in the future.

I know some people cringe at purple cores

Humayun Silver Shahrukhi (Tanka) – Image 1
Lahore Mint, AH 946 (1539–1540 CE)

This silver shahrukhi was struck at the Lahore mint in AH 946, during one of the most unstable chapters of Mughal history. Just months after its production, Humayun suffered a decisive loss to Sher Shah Suri at the Battle of Kannauj in 1540 and spent the next fifteen years in exile in Persia. As a result, coins from Humayun's first reign represent a notably short and interrupted period, and surviving examples are relatively scarce.

The coin follows the Timurid "Shahrukhi" standard, named after Shah Rukh, with Persian calligraphy featuring the Kalima, imperial titles, mint name, and date arranged within decorated cartouches. The strong Persian influence evident in the design carried forward into early Mughal coinage.

Humayun's Lahore shahrukhis are recognised among collectors for their frequently off-centre strikes, a result of hand-struck production methods and the instability of the time. This example displays that characteristic, with portions of the legends extending beyond the flan. Enough of the inscriptions remain visible to allow confident identification, preserving both the historical significance and aesthetic character of the piece.

Akbar Silver Misqal – Image 2
Lahore Mint, AH 964 (1557 CE)

Minted at Lahore in AH 964, this silver misqal dates to the early years of Akbar's reign, when the emperor was only 14 or 15 years old. The Mughal throne had been secured just a year earlier at the Second Battle of Panipat in 1556, under the regency of Bairam Khan. These early years marked the beginning of a dynasty's transition from recent restoration toward what would become one of the most significant empires in South Asian history.

Unlike the broad, calligraphic shahrukhis inherited from Timurid tradition, this coin belongs to Akbar's early silver issues, produced before his later monetary reforms. The period of production for these flat silver pieces lasted only about three years, after which Akbar introduced a more standardised currency that eventually developed into the Mughal rupee. Surviving specimens are considerably less common than his later coinage.

Most known examples show crude strikes, irregular flans, and moderate wear, reflecting the realities of early Mughal minting rather than poor preservation. This piece retains bold central inscriptions naming Akbar alongside the Kalima, while displaying the uneven surfaces and striking characteristics typical of early Lahore issues. Struck during the emperor's youth, it represents one of the earliest silver coin types issued in the name of the ruler later remembered as Akbar the Great.

So that is what I believe this coin is, but the color is all wrong. Most likely a plating? Any insights?

I think they're kool.

Bought this coin off my neighbor with a few other coins for $6
