[RPP 0]

Can anyone ID this for me? British right?

[TomGoodheart 373]

Aethelred II penny. Spink 1152, helmet type? Mint and moneyer... not sure.

Looks like.. +ÆÐELPINE M_O then ... CROL? Cricklade?

At least, that's the best I can do. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will chip in soon!

Aethelred II Helmet penny, as Richard says.

Legend reads +AEDELSIGE M-O CROC making this Aethelsige on Cricklade.

[TomGoodheart 373]

Cheers Clive! (Didn't I do well ... for a beginner, at least!)

im new at these really old coin.

I collect what you call brand new i cant find any like this one online?

what is the value on a coin like this??

[TomGoodheart 373]

HistoricCoinage is your man. But my guess would be if you wanted to buy one you'd need £350+ for a similar coin.

The legends are a bit blundered and the flan a bit wavy, but the portrait is nice.

Thanks. Here is one more but only half. can anyone help with id and value.

[TomGoodheart 373]

I believe .. S.1154, Aethelred II last small cross type.

Mint? ... Exeter, I think (EAXEC[...] )... though again with the proviso that I have no experience with the series!

Some of you may remember a Charles I Shilling with unusual legend double-striking that Richard posted a few months ago, and suggested he might be open to offers. Well given my renewed interest in late hammered I have today acquired this coin, which I like for many reasons

(Sorry Stu, I know you don't like these!)

Edit: Wrong thread, can be removed!

No, it's alright, it's Ch..chuffin' great!

It's true, I'm not a massive fan of the C1 shillings, but that's not a bad coin, it's actually hammered onto the flan, and the flan's nearly all there, and it's coin-shaped!

There are better reigns out there, of course, George VI and Elizabeth II for instance?

No, it's a nice coin, and I know the price will have been a good and fair one! Someone's gotta love 'em!

[Coinery 926]

That's actually quite a nice coin, what's your example of it, TG? I'm guessing you upgraded it?

[Paulus 1,942]

I'm guessing that Richard already had a much better example of this very common variety, but was tempted to snaffle it anyway ... nonetheless I would like to see pics of Richard's best example

[TomGoodheart 373]

I have two, neither perfect. The first is decently struck but has graffiti on the obverse and on a wibbly flan:

The other is nice and round but less well struck on the reverse (corroded, maybe?):

Apologies for the delay. Managed to get hit by a car last week so been a little...out of it.

Yes, Exeter mint of Aethelred's Last Small Cross. Moneyer is likely to be either Mangod, Thurgod or Isegod.

I've been run over three times!

Once as a small kid, when a car reversed over my leg.

Second time I was talking to someone on the payment beside the A38, when an accident spilled off the carriageway onto the payment, breaking my femur and pelvis, amongst a pile of other internal bruising and bladder unhappiness.

The third time I was unloading some weed killer from the back of a van that was parked at the side of a road. I was in a high-vis jacket, but the lady who was driving down the road, peering through a ten inch hole in her frosty window (the police description, not mine), didn't see me, or the van, and ploughed right into the back of it! I jumped up, but left one leg trailing (silly boy) and, hey presto, another broken bone in my leg!

Some would call me unlucky! I think I'm very, VERY, lucky!

If i want to part with Aethelred coins where to go online?

[Peter 615]

Ebay will find their level.

Send special delivery because there are some right scumbags out there.

Good pictures and accurate descriptions do help.

Good luck

[Coinery 926]

Rob and Clive might be interested? Probably better than eBay after a bum set of bids and 15% off of everything, including post?
