A selection of choice Milled coins for sale through HistoryInCoins:
WV-4322: EF+ Victoria Bun Head BROCKAGE Halfpenny. Stunning grade coin – cabinet friction to high points – approaching Unc. The incuse reverse is possibly even better. A brockage is where a coin is stuck in a die and another planchet is introduced with that first coin making an incused impression on the second coin. It acts like a miniature die. The second coin ends up with the same impression raised and incused. Quality control at the mint would recall these obvious errors. This one escaped! Extra (larger) images here & here & here. A classic error, reported to be one of the best extant examples known outside of the Royal Mint. £359
WV-4041: Largest Size 1897 Victoria SILVER Medal & Case. Struck to commemorate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee – x60 years on the throne. Medal in high grade with good toning. Original case in very good condition. Extra image here. £245

WG-4445: 1763 Northumberland &
Dublin George III Shilling. Struck in silver by the Earl of Northumberland (Lord Lieutenant of
WG-4327: EF or Better 1797 Cartwheel Twopence. Outstanding grade coin having minor bag marks and minimal cabinet wear only. Attractive even toning. A very large English copper coin that rarely turns up in this grade. £375 at EF in 2008 Spink. £199
WG-4373: 1726 George 1st Silver Shilling. Welsh Copper Company silver (W.C.C.). gVF/nEF grade with a contemporary planchet fault (see here). A same date WCC shilling in EF (slabbed) recently sold in excess of £5,000. This coin is toned with some lustre. Rare. £1,495
WCA-3045: EF Grade 1714 Queen Anne Farthing. Superb toning. Ex Locket. One of the best examples around of this very rare coin. £799
WAu-4649: 1679 Charles II Full Gold Guinea. Fourth bust, crowned shields. Coin is ex mount (subtle crimp technique). Whilst the obverse does need to tone down, which it will do over time, the effect on the image is down to the low position of the sun during photography. Many of you will know that I only ever take one image and that image is never manipulated apart from occasionally altering the brightness. £639
WAu-3184: Charles II Full Gold Guinea. Rarer Elephant & Castle-under-bust type. 4th bust, 1674 – 1684 but date deliberately obscured in antiquity. £429
WAu-4032: Charles II Gold Touch-Piece. Gold Angel Touchpiece, in the form of a medal, which was personally
presented by King Charles II at a "Touching Ceremony". This amulet held miraculous powers to heal
the sick only because the king had actually touched it. This medalet is the
successor to the Gold Angel which was discontinued during the reign of Charles
1st. The "Touching Ceremony"
was around in the early Medieval period and continued
right up to Queen Anne. Interestingly,
Charles II hated to touch the sick & afflicted and it was reported that the
only thing he did touch was the gold coin / medalet. This piece is slightly larger than others at
23mm diameter with a contemporary piercing so that the recipient could wear it
around their neck. Samuel Peeps was
given one of these and he kept it next to his body until he died. In the October 2003 Spink
"Coinex Sale" a large collection of Gold
Angels and Touchpieces brought tremendous
prices. Very much a tangible piece of
English history! £599
