Hi everyone, This coin came in a mix with roman (!!!) coins, I was trying to id it and got a bit confused with Spink's obverse and reverse types. As far as I can see it does not have L C WYON in either side. Would this be an obv 5 and rev G. My area of interested in Portuguese hammered coins, so I am a bit at lost... thanks in advance. PA

Cheers!

Hi everyone, A bit off-topic but, I think, still relevant. Together with a friend, we are conducting a study on the Portuguese coin Chinfrão (D. Afonso V 1438-1481). These coins often appear in the United Kingdom and B. J. Cook even argues that they might have had legal tender in England "Chinfraos seem to have had a not insignificant currency in early Tudor England, as a number of finds attest. (...) Perhaps Alfonso V's chinfraos had, in some unrecorded way, been given a legal or tolerated status." in B.J. Cook "Recent Tudor Hoards" I am coming to you to ask for any bibliographic references, findings or any other material related to the Chinfrão. Thanks in advance. PA

I am completely at lost with this one. Any help is welcome!! 14mm and 0.93g Thanks in advance

Can you please help me ID this coin. I do not have better pictures. Thank you in advance. PA

Thanks to everyone for all the hints.

Hi guys, I am doing a bit of research on Portuguese Medieval Mint Marks and, as part of this little project, I am looking mint marks in other countries: When were they used? Why were they used? Meanings, etc etc etc... I would be extremely grateful if you could, please, send me some references, links, etc... that you think might be useful. Thanks in advance!

Arrived today in the mail...

Hi everyone, Can you please help me ID this coin? I am buying a few portuguese coins from a seller and he has this one that I can to the lot for 10 quid. Thanks in advance

Weight: 1.2g Diameter: 19mm

Thanks everyone. My area is Portuguese hammered coins so this is a bit out of my field. Rather than asking the seller for more details I will buy the coin. Will post more info when I get it. PS: in fact is 7 quid (10 euros) even better.

HI everyone, I buying a lot of Portuguese coins and the seller is trying to include this Sovereign. How would you grade it and how scarce is it? Thanks in advance. PA

The seller, which is a very honest man and so far all the coins I have bought him are better than he described, says than the coin is clearly EF, only the high details show some wear.

Thanks a million. That's the only picture I've. the seller is asking for 750 and it is a bit steep for me. Thanks

Hi everyone. I have bought a bunch of English coins and in the mix I got these 4 coins. I have tried to ID them in Spink, but a bit confused with varieties. Can you please helpe me! Thanks a million in advance. PA 1) Anne - Shilling - 1711 SPINK: 3610 http://tinypic.com/m/idrgqe/4 2) James I - 6 Pence - 1605 SPINK: 2658 http://tinypic.com/m/idrgqf/4 3) Charles II - Half Crown - 1679 SPINK: 3366 Any idea about the initials engraved? http://tinypic.com/m/idrgqg/4 4) George I - Shilling - 1723 SPINK: 3647 http://tinypic.com/m/idrgqh/4

My most recent acquisition... what do you think? VF?

here it goes... and thanks a million to all of you guys! It is a freaking nightmare!

Weight: 10.8g My friend's worries about the coin are also my worries. The coin looks very good, but it came from China for less than a quarter of the price when compared with mine (also considerably cheap when compared to Spink's price). So either you can buy good coins in China or the fakes are getting really good...

I got this as a gift from a seller. any idea? 13mm Thanks in advance. PA

Hi there, I am new member. I lived in the UK for 6 years but now I am living in Portugal. I collect mostly Portuguese coins, but I have a "thing" for victorian coins. I need you help checking this new addition to my collection. Is it a 1853 or a 1853 over 1852? There seems to be some traces of work done around the date and the 3 looks a bit funny to me. Click to open Opinions? Thanks in advance. PA

New pictures. I am not a very good photographer...

Yeap. but it lives in Portugal
