Old coin comments - Spanish 8 and British Crown 4 Attachment(s) Picked up a coin collection today and found a couple interesting items which I would appreciate grade guesses and additional comments. Both of them are shiny toned, but the scan made them look greenish. Still can't find my damn camera :-(. They will likely be going for sale shortly and I would appreciate any info that you may have on them. TIA Attachment 39324 Attachment 39325 Attachment 39322 Attachment 39323

Re: Old coin comments - Spanish 8 and British Crown I'm a bullion guy and far from expert on numismatic values. Given that, the lower coin looks to be a more or less garden variety Sovereign, I have several from that time frame. Last time I looked, they were selling for slightly more than spot. The coin contains .2354 oz of gold.

I think that last one is a silver crown TomD...

Re: Old coin comments - Spanish 8 and British Crown Correct Optimus - it is a silver crown. I also bought an 1895 version in the same condition and a 1958 gold sovereign with the same lot. I have a couple other interesting items, including a copper Britannia from 1806 that I would have liked to have posted, as it is in excellent condition, however, it does not show well on the scanner.

Re: Old coin comments - Spanish 8 and British Crown The colour is very confusing. At first glance I thought Tom was on the sauce for displaying a gold sovereign with a silver colour. But it wasn't his handiwork. This one on ebay is definitely a British Crown and going cheap http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....MESE:IT&ih=004

I told you that I didn't know beans about numismatic, it sure looks like a sovereign.

Re: Old coin comments - Spanish 8 and British Crown 3 Attachment(s) Happy day! I found the camera. These should look a little better. Attachment 39343 Attachment 39344 Attachment 39345 I already have the British crowns listed. I am looking for some help on the Reales. I believe it was minted in Mexico, does anyone have any info ora link on these? TIA.
