  1. That's a stunning half. As struck. You couldn't ask for a better cut. Great find !
  2. Agreed. That was one of the first things i noticed about it. The full one i bought just arrived today. The portrait is a bit scuffed but i can't complain as it was cheap. Looks like a match with my half. Slevin 1a5 / Brand 1050. Stu.
  3. Another unlisted one. Sadly it's in sold listings on ebay. But worth noting down for reference if you like that sort of thing Reads Her instead of Hen on the obverse. Think its class 1b1 Rodbert at Winchester.
  4. There has been a few halfs on ebay recently that are not listed as Rhuddlan. Sellers are just listing them as Short cross coins with incorrect class details because they are unaware of the mint. Keep an eye out. They seem to be listed as buy it now though so you've got to check regularly or they get snapped up by ppl in the know. Stu.
  5. Good eye Jerry. That didn't even register with me when i looked at it lol. I was reading the D as an E like a divvy. Stu.
  6. Hopefully not lol. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞
  7. I managed on Sunday to get a whole example of a half I've had for year's. Sweating now waiting for it to arrive 😆
  8. Spotted this on Ebay. It was in the sold listings. Its got the 1 3 5 crown and reversed N we see on Rhuddlan coins but i cannot match the reverse. It's probably a mistrike of some sort but interesting enough to keep a note of.
  9. Looks promising Stu. Goodluck !
  10. Most due to the size were probably lost not long after they were cut especially the quarter cut ones. They have become more common on the collector's market in the past 20 year's due to better metal detectors. I tend to pick them up in lots. I only bid on individual cut coins when i can ID them as being different or from rarer mints. Class 5a coins have a reversed S so if i see them or a 4c with a reversed S i will buy them if they are not whole and the S is visible. I have a half cut of Chichester mint which is not an easy mint to get a whole coin for plus a few Rhuddlan halfs. This is one that i was able to die match using Mass / Slevin to Ravl at London mint. What makes it different is the Square E which is not usually seen on class 1b1 coins. It's little things like that which i tend to look out for when collecting cut coins. Stu.
  11. Bit later in my opinion H. Its giving Class 5c - 6a vibes based on the lettering style and what i can see of the beard strokes. The S as well with the little tails & lack of pellet in the middle of it.
  12. Not the best example but an unusual pairing. Withers 411 Bradford Workhouse counterstamp on a Samuel Fereday Bilston token.

  13. If anyone is still after this let me know i have a digital copy you can have. Stu.
  14. Trying to correctly ID this coin to its subclass. So far I've got Randvlf at ilchester mint class 3. I can't decide if its IM 3 or IM 4. The Initial mark is cut through. The limbs look less pointy than IM 3 and more rounded i think but not 100 % sure. I know there is two types of IM 4 one is Horizontal the other Vertical according to Rod Blunts website. I think i can rule 3bc out as ENR is not ligated. Any ideas ? Thanks. Stu
