Important coin
HistoricCoinage replied to Green's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Looks to be a Marc Antony denarius. These tend to go for around £40 - £75 depending on rarity/condition of individual coins. -
Spent NYE in Iceland. A breathtaking winter getaway. Managed to sneak a Viking coin hoard into the agenda, too.
-
Looks to be a Canterbury. Have highlighted the curves which aren't part of the S in hENRICVS having inverted the colours.

Looks like a class 3d to me. -
Best Wishes
HistoricCoinage replied to PWA 1967's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
All the best for the festive period, however you celebrate the time. Thanks, all, for your posts! -
Will definitely check that out, Dave. Was in Munich in the spring but didn't do too much church-hopping. Jerry - that place looks amazing and I'm very envious of the project that awaits. Keep us updated!

Was in Germany last week for a wedding and decided to tag some Christmas markets on the end. So my view this week of Cologne Cathedral:

Somme 1916 Poppy
HistoricCoinage replied to Sword's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Great to hear you've purchased one, Sword! I've been working with The Poppy Shop (official ecommerce site for RBL) for a little over a year now and I can't recommend their products or the good causes they support enough. For those that haven't seen, the video on how they're made can be seen here: -

DNW, Spink, Baldwin, Bonhams, etc. Catalogues 1990s & 2000s
HistoricCoinage replied to HistoricCoinage's topic in Items For Sale
Whacked the rest on eBay for a penny: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200-Coin-Auction-Catalogues-Spink-Baldwins-Glendinings-DNW-1990s-2013-/222268595647?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT Over 200 decent catalogues for archives here! -
Whether pre-strike or not, I'm not of the opinion of defacement or adjustment. These don't look as substantial to be pre-strike but certainly not deliberate. Do they look deep in-hand?

AdBlock doesn't work any longer for me on this site as all of the links to the individual forums, posts, etc. are blocked. This isn't an issue as I'd just enable ads (as it supports Chris and the forum) but when I do I can no longer see the forum. Clearing cookies doesn't help and the only site it affects is PreDecimal. @Chris Perkins - has something changed with the side banners in Invision's template formatting?

I can confirm that Pete is a leg end and probably a bit legless after the Talisker. I'd also like the green text if possible, thanks.

Irish Viking coins found in Sweden?

Irish Viking coins found in Sweden?
HistoricCoinage replied to Margareta Aronsson's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Without even looking at your text it's obvious from the photos that it's a modern replica as there are the letters 'WRL' stamped onto Aethelred II's drapery. These letters stand for Westair Reproductions Limited. Such English coins as well as Irish & Scandinavian imitative issues are found all over northern Europe and down through the Baltic region. As for why this replica was where it was? Very odd. -
Looks fine to me! Interesting pellet in the moneyer's name, though. Not often you see these so centrally struck, here's another one where the pictures could be fooling.

Can you post please.
HistoricCoinage replied to PWA 1967's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I post when I can, but you chaps lose me with all of this milled talk... -
Yes. Peter, you can see them on the link now.

He's just posted his photos... Afraid it doesn't look good.

I've asked for one and will report back with results.

He's used an image and description from CNG for a coin which sold for $23,100 in 2011. The seller states: I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

The old adage of 'if it looks too good to be true, it probably is' applies here but I've definitely come across some gems in this way on eBay. Very, very rarely it's worth taking the risk.
