  1. Try here if you don't mind a pre owned copy. https://www.abebooks.co.uk/book-search/title/english-hammered-coinage/author/north-j-j/used/
  2. Good stuff. Always nice to see one get pulled. Not coin related but still fraud. This guy thinks he's the new billy and charley (but he's crap at it) 😃 I've been watching him for months now knocking out terrible supposed ancient artifacts. Looks like he's making them in tin/ pewter. Feel free to report his "finds" https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/skali00/m.html?item=183184663032
  3. Who ever it was wasn't very good at spotting a fake. I've just glanced at they're previous posts. 3 coins they posted were fake. I really do not believe that coin was hoarded away in a tin. Perhaps they felt the old tin story would give it some false provenance but for what reason i don't know.
  4. I think a lot of the 1 time or guest posters who come on here out of the blue asking for advice on a coins authenticity or value with an eBay link are the actual sellers trying to draw attention to their lots. This guy was probably trying to do a similar thing and possibly pass it off to somebody on here. I just hope nobody fell for it.
  5. Really bad looking thing. Hideous! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/King-Charles-1st-silver-hammered-Three-Pence-Coin-Very-Rare-Collectable/173267725529
  6. If he did i hope nobody from here bought it after pming him..🤤 That's one bad egg to have in the nest.
  7. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Collectable-King-Henry-VI-Groat-1422-30-Mint-Mark-Pierced-Cross-Calais/123066706331 Another of those heart shape marked replica coins. Slight variation as its on the right on this one.
  8. Congratulations. Good find! I take the occasional gamble myself on mixed lots but I've not had much luck. I usually come worse off. It's good to hear a success story. One in a million that. Treasure it. Stu.
  9. I love crayons but i couldn't eat a whole one 😆
  10. Why does the toning not match on both pictures? Seems odd. It's as if they were taken by different camera's. If it's true he's very very lucky !
  11. Great news Stu. Well done. Keep us posted on the book , i am always on the lookout for quality books about Plantagenet coinage.
  12. Both Canterbury Long cross pennies. Ones by Robert the others Nichole. Both are later ones with sceptre. Try here for more information. They have a rough price list on there. http://www.henry3.com
  13. It does look new yes i agree. I couldn't say if it was fake though from the image. I suppose if it was in circulation not long before it got lost it could be like that. I think they were the accepted equivalent of a groat when whole so the half would be half groat.
  14. Nice work frank ! What made me think she was lying is that she said it was bent and her BF straightened it. There is no sign it was ever creased plus pewter tends to break when creased. Thats what made me think it was a crook , not sure why that was included in the description.
  15. The groat is Henry VII ( Canterbury mint ) the cut halfs a double patard of charles the bold.
  16. Has been told by people it's fake but isn't convinced! The spiels hilarious. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HAMMERED-ELIZABETH-1-SILVER-SIXPENCE-FROM-THE-YEAR-1562-TUDOR-MINT-MARK-PHEON/253532308810
  17. http://www.henry3.com/norwich---3a-to-3ab.html Pretty certain it's the second coin down on the list. OR ligated , pellet in the Z.
  18. The long cross is a class 3a1. Quite rare as not many were found in the Brussels hoard apparently (only 5) of that type. Information on the link i posted above. Stu.
  19. The long cross is Huge on Norwich. I am no good with classification of these. It's an early one with no sceptre.(class 3? ) Try looking on here for further details http://www.henry3.com
  20. The short cross is a Henry III. Looks like one of the class 7c,s by the portrait. Moneyer probably Nichole. That's as much as i can see.
  21. Very nice Stu. Rare to see a farthing of that ruler in a good condition. I tend to shy away from them as they are so hard to find in good condition. Hats off a nice find!
  22. I saw that. The commonwealth sixpence he flogged looked iffy , not right. He's definitely got at least one shill bidder working with him whose posting positive feedback. Either that or one very thick collector whose shelled out a grand on phoney coins.
  23. Probably a waste of time but please report this. Look at his feedback, he's making a small fortune from these "Siege pieces" or is he ? .I think we've reported this scumbag before on numerous occasions. He must be the luckiest guy on earth with all these "siege pieces" he's finding. Could be shill bidders also. It's the same buyers winning his stuff and the feedbacks really phoney and arse kissy possibly a fake feedback scam to sucker people into believing these fraud pieces are legit. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Newark-hammered-siege-coin/162959699520
  24. Another WRL shilling. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1653-hammered-coin/192486610867
