The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the reign of King George III, industrialist Matthew Boulton established the Soho Mint in Birmingham, utilizing steam-powered presses to produce coinage with unprecedented uniformity, sharp details, and anti-counterfeiting features like engrailed edges.

Georgian proof pennies were primarily struck in refined copper, with select collector or presentation pieces featuring bronzed or gilt finishes applied to polished copper planchets using high-pressure steel dies.

Authentic Soho Mint proof coins demonstrate high-relief striking, crisp lettering, exact weight specifications, defined edge details such as engrailing, and a distinct cameo contrast between the frosted devices and mirrored fields.

Historical coins are typically presented within framed shadow boxes, specialized coin cabinets, or archival acrylic display blocks placed in library or study spaces to preserve their surfaces while allowing detailed viewing.

Proof coins should be kept in inert, PVC-free protective slabs or capsules, handled only by the edges using cotton gloves, and stored in climate-controlled environments free from humidity and chemical contaminants.
