    50p error?

    I got these two 50p’s from the bank on different occasions last week and spotted the holes on Queenies chest. Looking more closely with a low powered microscope, they appear to be identical. They don’t look like a centre punch has been used ,but look more like they were done during the minting process. Has anyone else come across this or am I being too hopeful that it’s a genuine error

    50p error?

    Not a conclusion Rob just my initial thought. Probably is post mint damage , but why in exactly the same place. And I don’t think the other marks are jaw clamps as you suggest. Too small and not enough of them to be an effective clamp. What I might do is take a centre punch to another 50p and see if I can replicate the marks and the surface finish on the inside of the dents.

    Charles I unite, opinion wanted

    Didn’t realise that Rob ,thanks
  7. I'm very interested in buying this Charles I unite ( not eBay), but first wanted your honest opinions on it. My only worry is the obverse side. Does it look ok? What are the lines running across it? What's it worth? many thanks Richard

    That’s good to know about the die polishing, I haven’t seen that before. Does that happen on hammered silvers of the period. Thanks

    Clod shot,

    Craigy, what did the hammered turn out to be?
  11. One I'm very happy with as I found it myself metal detecting. I had to have it straightened by a jeweller as it was badly bent. few little scrapes on the reverse but I can live with that. Henry VI Half Noble, Annulet issue

    My mistake, £5700, well spotted Jerry
  13. I would say the Penny has been buried ,as ive have found similar looking surface corrosion on cartwheels whilst metal detecting.

    Hi John , Ive only just seen your post but I can tell you ,you have Viking coin of Anlaf Sihtricsson 941-944AD. They were mainly struck at York. Did the topsoil come from that area ? I think I would buy a couple more tonnes and sieve through it or get a metal detector. priced in Spink at £1850 in fine and £7500 in VF, I think yours would be nearer vf for that type
  17. Hi jelida, I've found this very good for voided long cross pennies http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/. Go to the referenced articles area to see very good info with quality pictures of voided long cross, as well as other coins, Edwardian farthings ,halfpennys and pennies

    Using my book by Gerry Slevin on Short Cross Legends I would say its a short cross penny of Richard, class 2. Moneyer, RAUL ON LUND. London mint. hope this helps
  25. Hi, A good friend of mine has asked me to sell some of his metal detecting finds for him as he's short of cash. Could you give me your opinions on this Shilling as to grade and possible value . Thanks in advance ,Richard
