And more... Looks like same seller, different account. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANGLO-SAXON-Kings-of-Wessex-AELFRED-the-GREAT-RARE-EXA-Penny-/391764960901?hash=item5b3702e685:g:F5gAAOSwkShY~u31

Plenty of fakes being sold (looks like it might be unknowingly) here. Over the past few years someone called Michael Millard-Hibbs has been setting up multiple eBay accounts and websites and flogging Saxon fakes. Whether this is someone who feel for it, I cannot tell...

Aethelred II Longcross penny. Moneyer: Dunstan. Mint: Exeter. Not the most common of mints.

It looks to be an issue of Wulfwig at Canterbury. +PVLPIG ON CEN[T]

Edward half groat I.D help please.
HistoricCoinage replied to Michael-Roo's topic in British Hammered
From what I can see with these photos, yes. -
Edward half groat I.D help please.
HistoricCoinage replied to Michael-Roo's topic in British Hammered
It's definitely Edward III, looks to be a Pre-treaty period issue, potentially type C. -
Charles I Shilling
HistoricCoinage replied to Sword's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Firstly, nice acquisition and great to hear your excitement with hammered alongside milled! The XII here refers to the denomination. So this is a twelvepence, a.k.a. shilling. I don't have my literature to hand so will let others answer the i.m. and bust questions. -
Ex North, Mass, Sazama, H3 Short Cross!
HistoricCoinage replied to Coinery's topic in British Hammered
Can't seem to locate it, Stu. Got a link to hand? -
As far as I'm aware, no. Just multiple reverses, which lends credence to the theory it's not a pattern. This is an interesting article by Mayhew on types: http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/1988_BNJ_58_6.pdf The Galata Guide is an interesting read but a whole new approach does need to be taken, I agree.

Can the same be said for the 1b which seems to have attracted attention of the pattern variety?

Great title, great coins... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/cnut-coin-norman-1st-coin-penny-/112323229637?hash=item1a26fc77c5:g:SmkAAOSw2gxYuhN5

Scarce and well struck! Is it definitely a cut half, though? Hard to tell from these images. I've been fortunate enough to handle a few of these Raven pennies but have yet to call one my own. Envious.

These lovely Anglo-Saxon pennies, found in Andorra... http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Anglo-Saxon-Coins-c-600-1066/58523/m.html?item=222413855830&hash=item33c8e61c56%3Ag%3A-AIAAOSwNnRYhIrk&_ssn=anglo-saxo66

March LCA catalogue now up

Definitely some surprising attributions in there... http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?searchlot=1676&searchtype=2&page=Catalogue -
Another gem, they just keep on coming. Obverse legend starting with an h, is it Hichard the Turd? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-circa-1483-1485-A-D-King-Richard-III-Medieval-Period-Silver-Penny-Coin-/272543253582?hash=item3f74d8044e:g:XXkAAOSw5cNYd6tp

A few new tunes for you
HistoricCoinage replied to Peter's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Know what you do at karaoke now, Peter. -
That's a stunning specimen! Nice acquisition.
-
An exact same one as above was listed on eBay as a Colorado transport token, but this was an error. I can't find any other exact matches but I agree the 6p is an odd amount.
-
Maybe a token for use on a cruise? e.g. http://coinedformoney.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/1994-holland-america-cruise-line-25.html

I am pleased to announce that Historic Coinage's 2017 Winter List has been published and is now available here. The list features an eclectic mix of coins and tokens, from Anglo-Saxon stycas to Crusader silver to Plantagenet gold. Many of the coins form 'The Collection of a Professor', a quality selection of English silver & gold acquired in the 1940s and 1950s from Seaby, Baldwin & Spink. Most of these coins have not been on the market for 60+ years and several have eminent provenances attached to them, such as Lawrence, Grantley, Carlyon-Britton & Duke of Argyll.

Important coin
HistoricCoinage replied to Green's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Looking at other sold examples on eBay will give a good indication of value, bear in mind various spellings (Mark/Marc & Anthony/Antony) - e.g. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Marc-Anthony-Denarius-/152281522685?hash=item2374afa1fd%3Ag%3AilIAAOSwTA9X8VHv&nma=true&si=CT2h6HrctTHis5Cr%252BdHSamjhgP8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
