    There's not much to go on i am afraid. The mints Winchester i believe as i can see INC which is part of WINC. Judging by the crown pellets I'd say a Richard or Henry II.

    It looks like a Venetian Soldino. Not sure of whom though as it's not my area. Try looking on google or finds.org.uk or here http://www.ancientresource.com/lots/venice/venetian.html

    Nicely done! Definitely 5a2 no doubt, reversed S is unmistakable. Quite a hard class to find in a good grade so you've done well.

    A challenge

    Ukstu replied to Ukstu's topic in British Hammered

    Thanks. I was leaning towards 1915 as it looks as if ANGL has the extra I on the end. Same value anyway.

    The Egyptian stuff looks like it was painted yesterday then sprinkled with flour to age it. The spears have painted on patination fluid. It's all just wrong on so many levels and not one coins geniune in my opinion, the greek ones are well known fakes from Cyprus sold by 2Rooks.

    I don't think any of it is even the "artifacts". I've never seen somebody so blatantly flouting the law. Trading standards should have a field day.
  7. Ukstu
    Done Frank. Filled in the Citizens advice form , they review it and forward it on to Trading standards. Stu.

    Totally agree. It's a blatant case of Fraud. When i reported some of the items i did it differently so i could comment. I did not hold back either. Whoever's behind this needs shutting down & prosecuting. I will do the same now Frank. Thanks.

    Good read here about variations within the Gunmoney series. Third series covers the half pennies & farthings. https://oldcurrencyexchange.com/2014/06/15/james-ii-gunmoney-a-photo-blog-of-the-known-variations/

    Yes your correct. Limerick was besieged in 1691. The large issue shillings were restruck as half pennies and the small shillings became farthings i think.

    Got me stumped this one as some details are worn. Can anyone tell me the issue & spink number. Leaf -pellet? Thanks.
  12. Ukstu
    It may look rough and battered but somebody would buy it. Coins of James II don't turn up often due to his short reign especially these farthings. Nice piece of history , great find!
  13. Ukstu
    Agreed. Absolutely shocking. I can honestly say i don't think I've ever witnessed a lot were all of it was so obviously fake until today. I've reported all the coins. Was going to add them to mike vospers wall of shame but it appears somebody's already beaten me.
  14. Ukstu
    It could be slightly debased (lower grade silver ) perhaps.
  15. Ukstu
    Was going to say the same. It's probably a viking imitation.
  16. Ukstu
    Agreed. Switched it off about the 60 mins mark. I hope they win but it's to much for me at present. I'll listen to the noise on the street.
  17. Ukstu
    Turned it off. Can't watch it.

    Bathing the bitten area with a solution of warm water and epsom salt seems to help. I cleaned my bite up after I'd popped the blister with that. It didn't get infected that's the main thing. I think i killed about 6 or 7 on Friday that landed on my tee shirt while i was flying my drone. They won't go near my arms or legs when I've got deet on.
  19. Ukstu
    15 times!! Wow Did you fall asleep? Think the most I've had at once was 3 bites during a camping trip many years ago, one got in the tent. I am not surpised you had a bad reaction with that many bites. Hope you feeling better now.
  20. Ukstu
    I got bitten about 3 weeks ago. Usually very careful and always apply Jungle Formula repellent. Took my daughter swimming to the river, one day i forget and i took a bite on my ankle. Came up with a huge pus filled blister like a fryed egg. Itchy as hell. I ended up opening it up myself and draining it. I hate the buggers. I usually get bitten at least once per year , hoping thats the last one of this year. Will definitely be using repellent from now on.
  21. Ukstu
    Ebay mainly. Occasionally some of the dealers sell them also.
  22. Ukstu
    Nice work Rob 👍. I couldn't make head nor tail of the mint. Nice possibly unique piece of History you've got there deemas.
  23. Ukstu
    Much earlier. Harold II only did the one issue the PAX penny. Not sure about this one so i won't attempt to identify it as it would be a pure guess.
  24. Ukstu
    Your Welcome. Stu.
  25. Ukstu
    It looks like AELFGAET ON. I can't make out the mint though. If it is aelfgaet then it must be Sandwich mint. The others definitely ULF at Lincoln mint. But to be safe get a second opinion off Rob regarding the Aelfgaet one. Regards Stu.
