Coins find a mystery

 

25th anniversary of Peterlee coins

AN enthusiastic coin collector got a nice surprise when he discovered these 36 year old artefacts.

 

Paul Turnbull, who runs Coinote, in Hartlepool’s Elwick Road, was having a scour through a delivery of coins and medallions when he came across something he had never seen before.

When he took a closer look he realised he had found a silver and a bronze coin celebrating the 25-year anniversary of Peterlee new town.

Paul, 61, logged straight on to the internet and has since tried to contact a number of people to learn more about his discoveries, so far without success.

He still has no idea of how rare the coins are but says it is the first time he has came across them in his 21 years in the business.

“It was certainly a pleasant surprise when I picked them up and realised what they were,” said Paul, who lives alone in the Elwick Road area of town.

“The first thing I noticed was the Durham crest on one side of the coin. I have been trying to work out what exactly the coin is.

“Peterlee was actually founded in 1948, so all I can think is the first residents were handed their keys in 1950.”

Paul says he can’t sell or value them until he knows how rare they are.

But he believes the silver coin is already worth more than £100 due to the metal alone.

He added: “I have been in contact with a few people in Peterlee but nobody seems to know anything about them.

“It is actually quite a mystery but I think it is something which will interest a lot of people. I’m eager to find out more.”

Paul is urging anybody who may know more about the coins to get in touch with him at the shop or via email at paul@coinote.co.uk.

The Royal Canadian Mint is presenting a thrilling new silver coins series, Canada 2011 Native American Niobium Full Moons Coins. There are four full moon silver coins in the series that are niobium bimetallic proof coins, and are comprised of the Buck Moon Deer Silver with yellow color, Full Hunter’s Moon in Orange, Full Wolf Moon in Blue, and Full Pink Moon in Pink.

The silver coins are the first ever Canadian niobium bimetallic coins, which use pure niobium in combination with silver to create the effect of rising moon against the image of a buck deer, a hunter, a wolf and pink flowers in the various coins. These Canadian Niobium Full Moon silver Coins were designed by the renowned Canadian artist, John Mantha.

The Buck Moon Deer Silver proof coin is the first of the Niobium Full Moons silver coins from the Native American series and has an extremely low mintage of just 7,500. The Buck Moon Deer Silver proof has a $5 face value, weighs 8.50 g with a diameter of 38.00 mm and is composed of pure niobium combined with .925 fine sterling silver.

Historic records from ancient times show that the cycles of the moon as in its waning, waxing, disappearance and presence in the sky, all marked the passage of seasons and periods of time, influencing all forms of life - human, animal and plant life. North American tribes like the Algonquin tribes followed the lunar cycle and they assigned names to every full moon cycle. The full moon during the peak of summer in July was called the summer moon or thunder moon or the commonly used name was the buck moon. During this period the North American wilderness witnessed the phenomenon of buck deer growing new antlers. The Buck Moon Deer silver proof from this Native American Niobium Full Moons Coin is a tribute to lifestyles in that ancient world.

Why I Love the 1909-S VDB Lincoln Wheat Penny

[Posted June 5th, 2011]

By all accounts the the 1909-S Lincoln Wheat Penny is not just a rare coin with a mintage of only 484,000 but finding this coin in uncirculated condition is also rare.

This coin I find has a certain mistique about it. Desinged by Victor David Brenner the specifications are as follows:

  • Designer: Victor David Brenner
  • Obverse Design: Abraham Lincoln Bust
  • Reverse Design: "Wheat Ear"
  • Edge: Plain
  • Weight: 3.11 grams
  • Diameter: 19 millimeters
  • Composition: Copper (95%), Tin and Zinc (5%)
  • Date Minted: 1909
  • Mintage: 484,000

 

Buying this coin in good condition will run you in the $1200 range and I have seen a MS 65 coin go for $12,000 on Ebay. Either way, even buying one in good condition is still a great addition to a Lincoln Wheat Penny collection. Alternatively, you can take your chances an unsearched roll, but again you never know what you are going to get.

Anyway, if you are intrested in some nice classic coins visit my Ebay store DanCoinedit.  Enjoy you collecting!
