Same. 3rd of April with Tesco. I popped out today. It was ugly. Shops look as if they have been looted. Nothing of use in my local Aldi other than fruit and veg. Seriously thinking of dusting the air rifle off and going out lamping.
-
True. It is slightly less clipped than most Irish issues. I'd be speculating if i said anything else. There's not much to go on but i think i can see RA which would tie in with EBORACI.
-
There's also the possibility it could be an Irish issue of Edward IV. Try looking through some of the examples on the PAS website.

Peering into the darkness with R Ingram Coins lol
Ukstu replied to craigy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I can't see how they sell much at all. They have some interesting descriptions of stock but with no pictures i won't touch any of it. If your too lazy to take and upload pictures your not getting my money. -
If this self isolate bites hard i think we will all be doing a lot more reading. Thanks for the recent recommendations guys. Think i am going to order a few book's in and hit the library before its goes t!ts up full lockdown.

Just thought I'd give anyone interested in short cross coinage a heads up. Gerry Slevin has published his new revised edition of short cross legends. Its a good read and he's added a Rhuddlan section to it. Well worth the upgrade from the original in my opinion. If anyone is interested it's available from Regton.com.

Ukstu replied to JLS's topic in British Hammered
Its not Iohan. Its Adam. It will be a class 7 coin of Henry III. -
Short cross penny - [IOH]AN ON LUND - ID help please !
Ukstu replied to JLS's topic in British Hammered
Iohan struck coins under King John at London mint in class 5b1. He ceased at that mint in roughly 1206 and no further coins after 5b1 where struck at London in his name. -
So, Brexit....What's happening?

She speaks sense. Great point of view. 👏 -
These westairs are getting better. Quite convincing other than the stamp. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Late-Anglo-Saxon-Aethelred-II-Silver-Long-Cross-Penny-AD-978-1016-Very-Fine/254179165678

Yes and Italy have assured Nigel Farage they will not vote in favour of an extension so it's unlikely to be extended. -
It's probably ABEL as the ON starts just before the six oclock position. SAMVEL would extend further round the coin.
-
Abel would also end in an L. The portrait has the vacant look in the eyes you see on class 5c coins of John.
-
I rarely buy Romans myself but it's hard to resist if a good British mint coin like London or Colchester pops up cheap. Nice buy for £8 that well found.
-
It would. It's not listed in spink as being rare. I'd bet if i dug my Brooker Collection book out it wouldn't be either. The anchor mintmarks not rare that i am aware of. Have you seen the price of his other sixpence? That's way over the mark as well. Stu.
-
Totally agree Frank. See it every day now with people claiming varieties that they are not. I'd stretch to £300 for it myself if it was suitable priced. People like that sell very little I'd guess at prices like that.
-
Well it's certainly not worth that much lol. In VF my old 2016 Spink book puts it at £500. It's america though , they seem to pay silly money over there for common coins. A fool and their money is easily parted i guess. Anyone in the know will give it a cursory glance and gag at the price and move on i suspect. Ebays full of dreamers like this seller unfortunately. Stu.

It looks like an Indian gold fanam of some sort. Not something i am familiar with myself so can't provide a full ID. Stu.
-
Coinery does make a good point here i must agree. I think though for clear peace of mind I'd go with the return and refund , the what if factor will niggle away at you if you keep it and it could come back on you in the future if you try to sell it. As Jerry says do invest in some jewellers scales for future purchases and most of all " Do not let this put you off collecting" Stu.
-
They are not something i am familiar with myself. I've only ever viewed them in books or online but I'd agree it does not sit well on closer inspection. Those letters should not be single dot punch marks.
-
Agreed. I was viewing it on my phone. As you say they look like single dot punches on closer inspection. Could it be a contemporary forgery?
-
Excellent. Well done. It's very rare i ever find any decent coins in charity shops. I think a lot of it's picked up by staff or they hold it back for regular customers.
-
Shapes about normal for that period , I've never saw one that was completely round , it's been clipped. People would probably of accepted it even if it was smooth back then as long as it was of reasonable size without lots of clipping. Good find , they are not easy to come by and not something you'd expect to find in a charity shop so you've done well. It is in a collectable condition.
-
Looks okay. Doesn't look cast anyway and has no marks you'd expect to see on a replica. I make it Spink 2316 Portcullis Mintmark (108) Stu
