I have this top ticket (the Ed III florin 1d), and was hoping to find a match through the very distinctive Lombardic Ns, but to no avail. However, I have found these Elmore Jones tickets to be in a very similar style, and layout, with the serifs on the capital Ds and the the upper-tail on the Ps to be a reasonable match? Would anyone else have some Elmore Jones tickets for comparison? Any thoughts?

Looks like it might be a Spanish Netherlands '2 Mite' coin issued by Phillip II, c16th https://en.numista.com/120395 Still not sure of the exact variety yet

The central cross limbs would be level with the IM mark if it was an IM mark. I think it is a T as Rob stated. Your orientation is incorrect for known tealby pennies. Stu.

I appreciate the legend style I have drawn is incorrect also the spacing, heres roughly how I would assume the name fits give or take.

This is a complete guess I have worked backwards from what I think is O C and the first letter that looks like a C is probably actually a G?: (Allen): BMC 169–171 (Canterbury, Moneyer Goldhavoc, Class E, reading + GOLDhAVOC : ON : CAN or CANT) North: North 960 (Class E) Spink: Spink 1341 At the bottom of the image I see O C and after CAN + then I see a G of GOLDhAVOC. Because the name is long was the T removed and what appears as the T is actually the cross. *I'm not sure what the legend styles look like for each letter, so after N is that a cross or a T? As I say I have simply worked backed from OC which could only be Goldhavoc. Just before the O can I see the faint trace of the apex of the V?

Hmmm, can't find any either! I've posted it on Numista - see if anyone on there might have a picture of something similar.

Not found a positive die match for either side, but the closest reverse looks to be pl.XXI/11 with the 9-11 o'clock section being in reasonable alignment. That's a coin of Rogier. The obverse is hopeless to match with the available detail in Allen. Too many flat bits. Good old Tealbys. Never let you down when seeking a hiding to nothing.

The coin also came with a ticket reading ANDOVER HOARD 2018 Ref T600/129, though I haven’t been able to find it amidst the coins published on PAS.

Thank you, everyone. I take it this is likely to be RAVL on CANTO?

Or even earlier, but cannot find any portrait issues of the low denominations.

Looks like a 17th or 18th century Portuguese copper reis of sorts to me.

Thanks Paddy, I've not been able to find anything like it either! The crowned bust almost looks Elizabethan, although I'm not sure it's that old. I think it's too thin to be a regal coin, although like you say, I have seen some counterfeit George's on similar very thin flan's Hopefully, someone out there may have seen something similar!

Interesting. I would say "post Mint damage" (PMD) and so not making it collectable. It certainly has taken a battering - I wonder if it was in a fire or something?

Found it while going through some change, no idea what im looking at to be honest, at first i thought it was some just an old worn down 20p that may be clipped or something, but the detailing itself is also oddly warped, especially on the crown, any ideas?

I have had a bit of a look at this, but got nowhere so far. The head reminds me of the late 18th century evasion and counterfeit halfpennies produced in the UK and America, but the reverse does not relate to these at all. The crossed knot design reminded me of some Portuguese and Maltese coins of that era, but again no match so far. Good luck!

Hi all, I was hoping someone may be able to give me a clue with the attached. The monarch looks Spanish maybe, but not been able to find anything remotely like it. Perhaps not actually a coin but maybe a token, counter or jeton? Appears to be copper alloy on a very thin sheet like flan. Diameter: 17mm, Weight: 0.6g Date wise, I was thinking c16th-c17th or later maybe if not a coin?? Any help much appreciated! Best regards, James

Brilliant spot, significant!

Yes they are proofs. I don't know if that makes a difference. I have not seen this type of feather in any of the other years.

Very distinct differences. Those are both proofs by the looks of it?

I know that the bronze decimal coinage does not thrill most collectors, but I have a liking towards them. Whist sorting my collection of two pence coins I noticed an anomaly. The ostrich feathers on the reverse side usually have a distinct quill running down the centre of each feather. I have noticed that on some of the 1989 and 1990 coins the quill is missing and the elements of the feather just blend into each other. Further, the 1990 coins with a quill also has a longer 'P' in PENNY. According to the records the longer 'P' was not introduced until 1993. I have not seen this mentioned in any of the articles that I have studied. I wonder if I have missed something or has anyone else has noticed this anomaly. Both photos show a 1990 two pence coin. The first is a short 'P' no quill, and the second is a long 'P' with quills.

And as if by magic... and a lot of looking at yet more 1887 6d's..... 🤪 a Wide 7 or 8 over 8, or a combination.

I remember seeing this somewhere quite a long time ago, and it lodged in my mind. It is quite possible that I have picked up on someone else's error and it 'stuck' with me. I've now checked all the usual sources and can't find anything. Apologies...
