    Sorry all for the late reply, just got my computer back from repair. I had a go with soap and water on the half crown black spot but wouldn't touch it, so that's as far as i dare go. I don't mind them looking a little crabby Ozjohn the half crown looks cracking now, well done.

    Quite a different metal detecting find. But very welcome.

    Hi all A few of the 1887 coins i have are in quite nice condition but the tone is not so good . Some have really dark spots on them, some are really dark on one side, would this be due to me not turning them in my coin box for a long time? Can anything be done to gain a better all over tone, without the horrible dark spots? Or best just left alone. Thanks for any help.

    I give up with the camera!!, I have tried light from every angle, tried every setting and still rubbish. Sorry the pictures from the scanner are better. I will have a go in some natural day light when i get chance.

    It is quite nice, will try to take a picture of it, but not sure what the quality of the pic will be like.

    Hi Can anyone help out with the date on my half crown, would this be just the normal 1819 or is the 9 double struck or could this be the 9 over 8. I don't have any other 1819 half crowns to check the 9 against. Thanks for any help.

    Stu the new Garrett detectors are a real good buy, good depth and easy to use, I have always had Garrett detectors. But had a change last year to the Xp Deus, they are really good but a little complicated.

    Found a couple of pics of the Spink 1757 on the net with the legend reading EXCULTABITUR, but no information on the spelling mistake as mine has missing I, would anyone know of a reference to the reverse of my coin i can look up ? Thanks for any help.

    Coinery you must get one again, there are plenty of clubs around and most people in them will go out of there way to help you with setting up your machine. Its a fab hobby if you like peace and quiet, wildlife and finding coins .... its great!!

    I made a right pigs ear of that post ! the legend should read, EXALTABITUR IN GLORIA mine reads EXCULTABTUR IN GLORIA. Its 1.7g and 19mm across.

    Hi Sorry about the scan it does not do this coin justice. I have searched for the same reverse of my coin but to no avail. Would there be a reference to the spelling mistake. EXCULTABITUR. IN. GLORIA. My coin has the Excultabitur with the spelling EXCULTABTUR. Missing the i. Thanks for any help.

    Thanks Richard. Three hammered in a day is good going, Its strange how you can go months without finding then a few in one day. Well done with your finds.

    Hi Guys, Had five hours metal detecting today in a freezing cold blizzard but rewarded with this Henry VIII Groat. Shame about the scratches but still a nice find. I think its spink 2337E rose mint mark, please put me right if I'm wrong. Its 24 mm across and 2.7 g is the coin slightly heavy or is it normal. thanks for any help.
  19. Gaz T
    Thanks copper and zoo, Searched the little coin, found its from Hungary as you guys said. Its Louis II (Lajos II) 1516-26, K-G. They sell for about 15-20 pounds so not bad. Search on for the other two now, will let you know if I find anything.

    And the notes.
  21. Gaz T
    Reverse.
  22. Gaz T
    Paid £10 for 3 coins four German bank notes. Are they real and worth the tenner I paid?
  23. Gaz T
    Nice coin Matteo

    Is it possible to i.d this coin from what is left of it. Clipped and worn .7g 15mm across. The best match I could find is Edward IV second reign penny with the D in centre of rev. But not sure as the kings neck looks different. Thanks for any help with positive i.d.
