Stock and Prices
We list here recent coins from our stock. When we sell a coin, rather than remove it from this page, we simply mark it as "sold" in the "stock" column. This serves numerous purposes, it provides a historical record of our recently sold stock, and it can provide a reference source for those who wish to know the approximate value of their coins.

Notes
The 1713 guineas shown would probably be graded as VF by most other dealers. There is a slight scratch on the obverse from the back on the head to between the HI and B of HIB. As can be see, the centre of the reverse appears to be slightly weakly struck. There is a slight edge knock visible from the reverse just before 9 o'clock. There is also an interesting die crack on the reverse.
Unfortunately, our resident photographer has been a little over-enthusiastic about re-touching our photographs. We can supply un-retouched versions on request.
