2 invaders found amongst the hoard of "H", although I did find the 1858 interesting to look at.....
-
3 x short cross. 1 x long cross for me I would struggle if it was a whole penny.. what chance as halved penny. am I right to think I can make out Henry on the first 2 ? As always many...Many thanks for casting your eyes over them for me.

Hello, errmmm it looks like 15mm ...Threepence?!? the spink is a bit sparse of images of the Elizabeth I coins.....that i have in the 2009 edition, I understand that this is quite a challenge and I really appreciate all the input and all of the time looking into these matters I raise, once again many thanks, 👍

Should I dip this coin?
Citizen H replied to ozjohn's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Its clean enough, with mine it would be a soak in warm soapy water, a gentle brush with a ultra soft tooth brush, rinse of any hand grime then rinse again in cold water, pat dry and see how things look, 👍 -
Safe to say Elizabeth 1, 1567......mm. Coronet 👍 Penny.....? I did try to weigh it but the kitchen scales aren't sensitive enough to register anything this light.
-
Now Sold. 👍
-
....Ah!?!?! so after another long time spent with Spink these could possible be Henry VII .......? (if so my first) the Crowns on both coins have what looks like a Single Arches Again It could be wrong on both counts but after trawling through the Edwards nothing seemed that it was a likely option. I think the 1st coin has been clipped the second may be a Half Penny........... any guidance would be great appreciated 👍

the reverse
-
Its been a day and a half.......this was a "Wow!" moment Have (amongst the hoard) have I found a full Groat? ok looking through Spink and....could it be .......Edward IV 1468-69 Groat? It would be the first! 👍
-
wow many thanks, this has been a great help...although it starts a new page of Foreign hammered coins that I have mixed in with the British Hammered coins. once again this has been a great educational help...all the very best "H"

Hello, James welcome to the forum, I'm in the same boat and I have the challenge of Identifying all of my hammered coins, although its not that straight forward with Edwards and being rubbed out some remain un identified due to lack of detail....As for value and once identified compare prices on E-bay it will give you a general idea of what their price is, hope this helps "H"

Elizabeth I 3 Farthings...or Threehalfpence ???
Citizen H replied to Citizen H's topic in British Hammered
I also wondered if on the reverse it the mm the remains of Lis...1558-60 ? -
Groan......! errrrrmmm back to addressing the tub of hammered coins and chose to deal with this one as...it an Elizabeth I...how hard can it be? I did the spink section of the Elizabeth I and no images (2009 copy) of the Threehalfpence to compare, so...Its Elizabeth I, without rose & date.... any suggestions???
-
Another 2 shillings found...both in good enough condition to keep...worth a share. 👍 .......especially the 1745 LIMA
-
Awesome! it just looked to good to be true compared with the others (worn out) that I have..... many many Thanks "H"
-
1772 George III 3 pence, this one troubles me as its in quite a good condition and as most of mine are circulated .... it has me wondering if this one is correct? Any thought or input greatly welcome..... Cheers "H" 👍
-
Aha,.......yes! I tried this with 2 rubbed shillings, "Ting!" and then one of the rubbed shillings against the half crown and "Ting!" so... hopefully this concludes its not a alloy or base metal conundrum....a satisfying moment when this happened.... 👍
-
ah ok, I also need to mention the around the edge it reads DECVS . ET . TUTAMEN. ANNO. REGNI. OCTAVO, so hopefully this is also a plus.....
-
well...a quick look on Numista give the following information. Composition Silver (.925) Weight15.05 g (the kitchen scales reads 16 grms) Diameter 34 mm ( the one i have is 33mm, plastic ruler) Orientation Coin alignment ↑↓ (correct) so I still think its inconclusive as once said "The Opera is over until the fat lady sings....." 🤔I still think it needs further investigation....many thanks for the input👍
-
its showing as 16grms on the kitchen scales, also a pic of the reverse
-
many thanks, I thought it might be to good to be true...it wasn't a huge price I recall but at least this put this to rest, in my pot of copy's repro & fakes..all the best "H"
-
this has been found today, I recall it was at great debate other whether it was real or a dud, time moves on and now wondering if its a mint fault? has it been in circulation? can say Ive seen damage like this before... comments welcome. 👍

Ah, yes.. I did have a stroke a year ago and one side of my brain has scar damage, also Dyslexic..... The coins I bought ages ago over a long span of years... having time and the coins to sort through has helped me... the computer isn't always to blame but not being able to amend a error spotted is frustrating.... back to the plot...what do you think of the grade of the Edward VII Six Pence 1906 ???🤔 Cheers "H"
