If only I'd followed that advice. I've picked up some real horrors in my early days of collecting. But in some areas of collecting it doesn't matter i suppose. Jp mass wasn't fussy about his short cross coins. I expect eventually I'll sell them when the time comes , somebody will buy them like i did. Whether i profit or break evens another matter.

Wise decision. I've bought one £100 coin since New year. Managed to save just under a grand up in the meantime and i am being picky about any future purchases going forward now.

Its not much but it may prove useful too some. If you spend £50 on items stocked by Amazon and enter code BIGTHANKS in the next 24 hours they will deduct £10 off your spend. Might come in handy if your after a few coin books or a bit of tech. Every little helps as they say.

Out of curiosity has the Austin of Oxford Short cross under Henry II been added yet?

It looks like a John. Iohan at Canterbury. That's as much as i can see. There was a few Iohans minting at Canterbury under King John. Some had a single letter after their names to break up confusion as to who was who. The coins of Iohan M end in CA for the mint signature so I'd say it was probably one of his. He struck class 5b2 - 5c under John.

Those camouflage khaki coloured pennies would of been handy in the trenches. Shell shocked more like.

Mushy as peas and complete with R and people still bid on it. 😣

Its class 7a3. The 7bs of Roger at Canterbury usually end in a pellet after Can & the A is square topped in 7bs. Spink 1356A.

Or in this case Old pewter nose. 😀 Reported!

Good work. I had an hours mooch yesterday for you but drew a blank. I thought maybe it was Cypriot.

Your Welcome. Glad to of helped. Regards Stuart.

I based my classification on other features like the curls. Class 3 coins have pellets in the curls. This coin does not appear to have any pellets in the curls. Also the style of the V and S is characteristic of class 4a coins. Also the mint and moneyer confirms it as a 4a coin as that moneyer is only active at that mint from class 4a -4b. There is a Willelm on Nico active at Lincoln under Henry II in class 1b-1c but your coin does not have the characteristics of a coin of that class so it can be ruled out. Regards Stuart.

Looks like a class 4a. Willelm on Noi probably. Either Northampton or Norwich mint.

Can anybody give me a precise classification on this coin. I can't decide whether its a class 11 coin of Ed 2 or a slightly earlier one of Ed 1. Thanks.

Whoever he was he came across as a complete arse in the end. Very immature.

I reported it the day it was listed and before it was posted here for an opinion.

There was a post about that last week on here. It's an electrotype i think. They usually go for £100 or thereabouts . Some people probably think it's geniune that's why it's gotten so many bids i expect.

He's sold a few identical ones of those last week. Think i posted them up with another seller based in Tranent. I noticed another seller last night in Sofia , Bulgaria list 4 cnuts and an Aethelred. All almost identical in colour and tone. Definitely dodgy. I'll report those two above. ?

I think you'd probably be better off on Cointalk.

Hope you all get what you seek. Happy 2018 ☘

Oh dear oh dear. The cats..certainly out the bag now. ?

Not my area but i do know these are rare and usually come with a good provenance. I personally wouldn't bid on it but thats me. Rob is clued up with siege pieces he will know whats what with this piece. Direct link to piece in question https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unknown-Silver-Hammered-Coin-Siege-Sixpence/202162280662
