birminghammintmedals.com is celebrating it's 10th anniversary!!! It started in August 2014. Wow time flies!
This site has been set up to expand on the advertising pieces shown in James O. Sweeny's book, A Numismatic History of The Birmingham Mint. Since the book was published in 1981, there have been additional examples produced & found. The examples are separated in 5 different sections.
New items are being found and added to this web site. Please check back for updates.

The Facebook page has been deleted as it was hacked with no help from Meta. Unfortunately it will not be set up again.
Updated April 5, 2025
I updated 'The Mint Birmingham' section. I had added new pieces over the last few years and I didn't like the order and numbering system that I originally set up. Hopefully this new numbering system will allow me to easily add new finds into the catalogue.

Please be aware it is quite common for pieces to have slightly different weights to them even if they look exactly the same. The weights provided on this site are based on my observations.
