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-2821:  Rare 1827 George IV Penny.  This was a tiny mintage and all coins were sent to the Colonies in Australia.  It is reported that the coins were stored in poor conditions.  £145.  A rare “Key Date” coin.  £169

 

WG-4445:  1763 Northumberland & Dublin George III Shilling.  Struck in silver by the Earl of Northumberland (Lord Lieutenant of Ireland) for distribution in Ireland in 1763.  There is a story that states the 1763 was limited to only £100 face value.  The issue filtered back to England and was used rarely as currency.  This coin is better than VF and toned.  Ex Spink.  Rare.  £749

 

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

 

WI-4046:  1691 Irish Limerick Besieged Halfpenny.  Single year issue.  Struck over a Gun Money shilling whilst James was besieged at Limerick.  This one high grade for issue with some host coin detail visible.  Rare in this grade.  £279

 

WI-2890:  1805 Irish Guilded Proof Penny.  Uncirculated grade.  Very rare.  £389

 

WSC-4667:  1745 Scottish Jacobite “Bonnie Prince Charlie” Medal.  Struck in England and distributed in both England and Scotland to prepare the public for the return of the Young Pretender, Prince Charles.  Much of the romanticisation of the Jacobite uprisings, especially in 1745 is unjustified. There are several misconceptions surrounding this area of history. Firstly the Jacobite cause was not about Scotland versus England there were people of each nationality on either side. Secondly Bonnie Prince Charlie, although highly charismatic, was no hero; he could be viewed as a spoilt alcoholic aristocrat who had no problem leading loyal men to their graves for his own personal ambitions.  Not my words I hasten to add although historical records would seem to support at least some of  the above.  This medal is much better than EF and is listed as Rare.  £425

 

WSC-3132:  1681 Scottish Charles II Silver ¼ Merk.  Very good grade and thus extremely rare.  £325

 

WCA-3863:  1693 William & Mary Sixpence – EF Grade.  Lustrous with cabinet wear to high points.  Ex Peter Viola collection.  £945

 

WCA-4710:  1694 William & Mary Silver Proof Farthing.  Plain edge.  Peck 623.  EF grade and simply stunning.  Choice.  £825
