I bet your heart sunk a little when you realised it was a base metal core. Still a great find though. Not many people find anything like that. Nice find matey.

Great find. ?

It's great. Its easy to read. Ticks all the boxes for me. Nice one!

That's a real beauty. What's the reverse like? I have a couple of ex mass short cross coins.

I started doing this with sixpences from Edward VI upto Eliz II. Still work in progress but not far off.

Thanks. It is. Quite an exciting discovery. I expect it will find its way into future publications / guides.

Found a reference to it again with image's. If anybody else is interested or intrigued here's the link https://mobile.twitter.com/detectingdigsuk/status/711679605057388545

I went over it again. Its class 8b.

No problem. Think that's all of them now ?

Another one I've missed. Henry III Nichole London. Class uncertain. Nichole struck 7c-8c.

Spot on. I put my spare house keys in a safe place about 3 years ago. So safe I've forgotten were I put them. Thankfully I've not needed them.....yet! I am sure I've done the same with other now long forgotten items. I blame the 90s ?

Your welcome. I must of missed this one. Only just saw it an hour ago.

As above. Class 5c ?

Its worth a try again i suppose. May try the bottle of scotch routine. I hear it works miracles ?

? Remember those. Me dad spent more time fiddling about pulling out snapped cassette tapes and cleaning the heads than he did watching movies.

So looking forward to series 3. I've been a fan since episode 1. The Jimmy Saville badge still cracks me up, his face ?

Magnet on a rope ?. Love it. I started off in that era. Had an old c scope. I got more iron than the scrapman ?. Gave it up in the end and started again in 2010 but stopped last year due to lack of permissions. People keep saying to me take it down the river or canals but as i remind them its all private land somebody owns it and if caught i stand to lose my entire collection so not worth it. Bloody hard getting permissions here , my scouse accent does me no good at all in north east lancs either.

I don't mind doing the short cross coins honestly. I often buy unresearched ones just to do the IDs. He does have some stuff though. Truly envious of some of his short cross coins. Keep posting em up i never tire of looking at them. ?

Sorry couldn't resist. As follows Top left a John coin. Kings lynn mint. (LENE) only open during Johns recoinage. Very rare mint. Top right is Henry II or Richard. Moneyer Everard which would make it York mint. Left second down is Henry III Roger Canterbury. Third left is a another Henry III. Walter possibly the moneyer. Third down right is a henry III longcross of Nicole London. The rest are beyond me unfortunately. I couldn't be certain of those ones.

I know. It didn't say that unfortunately but i believe it to be a genuine mistake. I think he's listed the wrong coin under the wrong listing. He must have two of the same coin as the one he advertised and the one i received were definitely different coins in respect of grades i mean as the pictures prove.

I will look these over proper tommorow Gaz and feedback what i find out. ?

John class 5b1 Lukas Winchester (Lvkas.on.winc) I can make out _V_AS .ON._INC so that must be who it is. Pretty sure it is matey. Nice find?

It would. I have a 5c of this moneyer that has a huge striking crack almost all the way through it. This could be a mule as according to my book this moneyer did not strike until 5c. It may be a 5b3 obv with a 5c rev or its a straight class 5c and the line gouge below the eyes is throwing me. Think its a 5c for sure. Nice find. ?

John class 5b3? Moneyer Walter at London. Notice the eyes. Both made with a broken punch. Definitely 5b3 characteristic.
