No idea. But the 'Mullet Man' does. Examples I've seen are all decent quality (or rare in the case of the queen Mary penny) too.

Example of the 'mullet' mark (so called by Lloyd Bennett) at top of the reverse:

I wonder if it's more a 'collector's mark'? Similar to the 'mullet' (which appears to have been made using a small Torx screwdriver) found more recently.

Thanks Clive! Top coin (Crown mm) now sold.

Help with academic study requested - survey for coin collectors
TomGoodheart replied to old.currency.exchange@gmai's topic in Free for all
Hi James. Just checking. This is for all coin collectors? Just your website is geared towards Irish currency (nice resource by the way) and I wasn't sure if you wanted collectors from other areas too? (The survey (which I've completed) is quite general and quick, for anyone interested).- 35 replies

Bravo someone! 191810207129 Though a bit ridiculous people are forced to take such actions because eBay does nothing ...

That's OK Viking. And welcome! -

Yes. I used a 10 year old copy of Spink for the basic ID then searched for that online to confirm moneyer and town... -
Aethelred II id help
TomGoodheart replied to Viking's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Mmm .. not a series I know much about but I'm thinking second hand (because of the sceptre), Spink 1146. Moneyer? Looks like LVDA M-O EXACEAST, ie Luda of Exeter. Only a moneyer for Aethelred II and only for Exeter I believe. Rarity? Can't help there I'm afraid. Hopefully another member will chip in later. Example (but first hand) illustrated with that reading for Exeter here: Baldwins 55 Lot 2249 Another example, this time second hand and with the pellets your coin has (but different legend) but sadly no illustration: DNW March 1995 -
Doesn't look right to me. And I know 34s are rare and so have desirability... but you could get a nice '27 for 1/10th the price ... .

Turing it on, did you say? That'll be an engine with a difference! -

Excellent! Glad you managed to track one down!

I still get the odd gap where the "Bid now" bit is so it still doesn't fill the whole screen as there's a blank bit to the right ... I just feel it should auto-size itself. -

I had the 'earlier quote' problem the other day on my (Windows) laptop. Couldn't get rid of it without coming out of the thread completely and starting again. And on my phone I still get a lot of wasted space and have to scroll down a long way before I reach the actual topics .. feels like it ought to be designed to fit the screen better. -
Ah, well I shan't post a pic of my hammered shillings then. They are all sorts of odd shapes and sizes making it impossible to choose a tray that is ideal for all of them. And just when I thought I'd got the best compromise, a friend gave me one on such a large flan I had to enlarge the recess to get it in at all! However, with milled coinage, you could choose capsules that just fit the tray recesses and then buy spacing rings to hold the smaller coins centrally to the capsule ...
-
Yes. And the detailing on the doors makes it unique. Well done him!
-
This you mean? (From Clive's post a while back) Sorry!
-
Gosh! Very talented Rob. Is it a profession for him or just a hobby? Either way it looks very nice. (Had you thought of adding a cabinet making service to the dealing?)
-
I appear to have paid £93.50 back in 2004, so yes, they have gone up a bit. Shame the value of my coins hasn't risen as much really!
-
Not sure where it is as I'm on my phone but I remember Clive, who collects hammered pennies, showing a tray where his coins are in capsules and it looked very nice indeed. Of course it depends how much you worry about small coins moving around on the felt pads... or are bothered by the aesthetics of little coins in larger recesses...

They are all hand made so won't be cheap. And I got the impression Peter used a range of varnishes that weren't good for your health. The current owners of the business use more environmentally friendly processes. I had a tray made for my smaller cabinet recently and thought they did a good job at a reasonable price. Of course second hand cabinets from auction might be a easy of getting one a bit cheaper...
