Great analysis Rob. Thank you.

Nice Groat. I have a Rosette mascle / Annulet reverse mule. Muling was fairly common on Henry VI groats. Not seen one of these mules though , extraordinary to think that the Pinecone mascle issue did not start until 1430 and the Annulet ended 1427 , i wonder if they had a large stockpile of those reverse dies. There's a great book on medieval groats by the late Ivan Buck. There is extracts from it here on Mike Vospers website. http://www.vosper4coins.co.uk/ivanbuck/Buck-3.htm

I wasn't implying anything by mentioning him. What i meant is it looks like one of his strikes or a coin he's made (Dave G - Grunal Moneta). The ebay sellers the crook! (Whita natal)

Firstly apoligies if I've stuck this in the wrong forum , if it is a variety it's likely already documented. Just wanted a second opinion as to whether it is an Un barred A or just general wear?. The first A in Britannia looks un barred. I picked it up off eBay just listed as an ordinary W&M farthing.

Thanks Rob. I thought it was. Had a look around online and i found a website with one that looks like a die match so that ties it up for me. http://www.farthingshalfpennyerrors.com/william-mary-farthing-1694-first-a-unbarred-in-britannia-single-exergue/

Looks like one of Dave G,s. His feedback says it all. Crooked as a dogs hind leg! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/silver-hammered-coins/163238595789

Holy crap! Am howling 😅

Can anybody help me identify the class of this coin. It's had a few knocks around crucial areas like the crown. Thank you.
-
Case Closed! My old volume of JJ north solved it. Edward III Florin coinage Class 4 Reverse I Spink 1548.
-
Think it's Edward III Florin coinage. Class 3 ? Unfortunately that's a guess as I've no books on coins of Edward III I've came to that conclusion by searching online. If anybody can positively ID let me know. Thank you.

Slightly better pic. Gave it some spit an foil treatment.
-
Your welcome. Nice find.
-
I think you are spot on Richard with the description . I make it Spink 2131 (vacant see).
-
Looks great. Nice! 👍

I managed to get a crease out of a Henry II long cross coin once. I heated it up and put it between two pieces of wood and belted it with a rubber marquee tent mallet. Sorted it out nicely but i wouldn't recomend doing it on something expensive like a saxon or viking coin.
-
Not a problem. Thanks for posting it up. Stu.
-
There's not much to go on i am afraid. The mints Winchester i believe as i can see INC which is part of WINC. Judging by the crown pellets I'd say a Richard or Henry II.
-
It looks like a Venetian Soldino. Not sure of whom though as it's not my area. Try looking on google or finds.org.uk or here http://www.ancientresource.com/lots/venice/venetian.html
-
Nicely done! Definitely 5a2 no doubt, reversed S is unmistakable. Quite a hard class to find in a good grade so you've done well.
-
Thanks. I was leaning towards 1915 as it looks as if ANGL has the extra I on the end. Same value anyway.
-
Got me stumped this one as some details are worn. Can anyone tell me the issue & spink number. Leaf -pellet? Thanks.

The Egyptian stuff looks like it was painted yesterday then sprinkled with flour to age it. The spears have painted on patination fluid. It's all just wrong on so many levels and not one coins geniune in my opinion, the greek ones are well known fakes from Cyprus sold by 2Rooks.
