Hammered coins are real coins! Whatever you decide to collect, enjoy it! I know sure do! Clive.

The H stands for Heaton mint, based in Birmingham. The 1922 and 1926 are not rare but are the scarcest of the George V pennies. Photos would be helpful, and do you mean Commonwealth coins? Kindest Regards, Clive.

I assume it does Gary... It's supposed to be via invitation only so if you've got it then you're a "valued customer."

Yes, I take full responsibility for all the spelling mistakes! I wasn't implying that, I was saying that it's a shame eBay think you might be breaching copyright.

They have tried to improve their customer support but it is still shocking, I haven't sold much high value stuff, yet... I have a few hammereds I wish to part with that should bring in a bit of cash. I know what you mean, I know one guy who's Lighthouse capsules were pulled of eBay due to them being "counterfeit"... Who would bother faking coin capsules? I know about your eBook listings, it's a shame as you are genuine and have edited all of them as far as I'm aware.

Chris, eBay have a customer support phone number which they have given to their valued cutomers: "You're one of our most valued eBay customers and your satisfaction is very important to us." "(This phone number is only for members who've been invited to participate so please don't give it to others.)" It's because I've spent a lot recently that they've given me this phone number, I rang up the number, they were based in Ireland, and this woman asked me to spell my username. It took me 7 tries and I eventually hung-up on her... I bet if I didn't spend so much they'd toss me in the bin of "not-so-valued" customers, they are still money grabbing crooks in my opinion though. Clive.

I found out that one coin seller has had ALL of his coins shill bid on, and I'm talking near a hundred!!! I was in lengthy discussions with eBay and soon the eBay seller is banned from auctioning, now all of his coins are BIN or Best Offer! eBay will soon change all payments to PayPal and I wouldn't be surprised if they raise the charges too! But their customer support is much better than it used to be. Clive.

I know what you mean, perhaps you should sell some singing and dancing coins Chris? -

I wondered about the small number of registered posts! A recent change? Nope, I just prefer CoinsGB and CoinPeople forum so I don't tend to come on here often. -
1887 Shilling Proof or Not?
HistoricCoinage replied to freddurst's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Are they the same size? Could one not be a sixpence and the other a shilling? Clive. -
Anglo Saxon Pennies
HistoricCoinage replied to cedarhurt's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Not much is known about specific moneyers, only those listed in the Domesday and yours are much earlier than that! There doesn't appear to be any rare moneyers on your coins for the issues, so you just noticed these whilst walking? Have you gone back with a metal detector since? I know it's cruel to ask but are you interested in selling? I'm after some better examples for my collection and these could be the tickets, I pay very good prices too! BTW guys, I'm YOC (Ye Olde Collector) I just have a different username for eBay and this forum. Feel free to email me, I can easily get them recorded appropriately for you or I can tell you how to as I'm a good friend with the gentleman that does it. Kindest Regards, Clive. -

Those are nice coins, email me at clive@historiccoinage.com and I'll see what I can do. Do you have any better photos? These are bang in the middle of my collecting period, are you interested in selling? Kindest Regards, Clive. -

Happy New Year everyone! - Clive. -
A warm welcome to you Joe! I have yet to experience the rekindling of my collecting flame, I have never stopped! But as time goes on I will have to stop. I look forward to getting to know you and your collection. - Clive.

henry 1st moneyers
HistoricCoinage replied to tazdog's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I don't know about that Richard, I'm just offering my own opinion. -
henry 1st moneyers
HistoricCoinage replied to tazdog's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I don't think that it could be Taunton as only Elfric minted there. Taunton on Henry I coins is "TANTU" That "P" looks like a blundered "T" and so it might read "CANTA" "Pilde" at Canterbury is very confusing as there was no "Pilde" for Henry I mints... So perhaps Winedi, Willem, Wulfwine or Wulsi. I have a feeling that it might be Wulsi but it is an odd coin. -
henry 1st moneyers
HistoricCoinage replied to tazdog's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
From the emails I think that this coin is of Canterbury mint, "PILDE ON CANT", Spink 1265/B.M.C. 4. -
henry 1st moneyers
HistoricCoinage replied to tazdog's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
haven't been on here in yoinks! Been spending my time on CoinPeople and CoinsGB. Tazdog, if you want you can send some large scans to historiccoinage@coinpeople.com and I will do my best. I recently discovered a new moneyer for Henry I on one of my pennies so I should be able to help, if not I know people who can. I look forward to receiving your emails. Many thanks for the update Richard!! -
Hey, I'm new around here but have several of Chris' books and know of him on eBay and so thought that I'd pay a visit! Here are a few things that I am parting with on eBay! Feel free to take a look! 1911 Trade Dollar 1887 Double Florin - Great Condition! 1889 Crown - Fantastic Condition! 1887 Florin - Great Condition Best Regards, Clive.

Victorian Coins for Sale and JJ North Books Wanted
HistoricCoinage replied to HistoricCoinage's topic in Items For Sale
Hus, I have listed the coins with the best possible pictures that my camera can take! I should invest in a new camera. None of my coins were/are listed as Uncirculated, just trying to be as honest as possible. Grading Milled coinage is a big difference to Hammered coinage! I only started collecting Hammered coinage about 7 months ago and have come across several rare specimens and one presumed unknown example as of yet. I have an error Edward I/II Penny, I am surprised that it did not go for more, the joys of eBay I suppose! Thanks for your warm welcome, will try and share my knowledge and passion of Hammered coinage with teh group. All the best, Clive. -

Chris, Many thanks, I will try MR. Varnham. Do you yourself collect? If you were a collector would you bid on my coins now? Many thanks, I appreciate it. It is not often that I sell milled coins. All the best, Clive.
