Citizen H

I think it was a 20p purchase many many moons ago.....still not tempted to dip into the ice cream container of pennies 50p each to the Antiques fair... there's silver out there ....somewhere with my name on them, many many thanks "H"

Well thank you kindly Mr Paddy, I'm still unsure about these penny's you know, they just don't sing to me, nice to see everyone's with all the different variations but lost the interest within a few moments, Sorry! just not my thing, However, I'll pick them up along the way and show...and should anyone happens to want them shout out, Ps..I beleve this is a £1.50p coin !?!??!? Once again Many thanks and all the best, "H"

Ive not been interested in the Pennies...however this one was mixed in so why not show and join in, I know nothing other than its Bronze, 1877, theres a chunk missing by the letter R on outer edge....is this a mint fault? could this be a rare, valuable and scarce coin to behold??????? ok, over to you guys, all the very best "H" (uninterested in Pennies)

I had a bit of a look around and found this on Numista you may be able to find more out about this medal.... A satirical medalet produced in 1830 to commemorate the appointment of Charles Grey, the second Earl Grey, as British Prime Minister. He retained that post from 1830 until 1834. The medal was made because the previous Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington who had defeated Napolean Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, had refused to allow for the reform of the British Parliamentary system and had been forced to resign. Grey took his place in 1830 and his government passed the Reform Act of 1832 and abolished slavery throughout the British Empire the following year. all the best "H"

5 Reichsmark 1935 Paul von Hindenburg Years1935-1936 I was trying to find out what mint this was from, ah! and now I notice A (= Berlin, Germany) just in front of the 1847..... Ive been looking for a few days... and there it was!

Another find amongst foreign coins at a boot fair 1990's only just emptying out other uninteresting coins this is a keep... 2 Reales 1721 Philip V Segovia Aqueduct Mint Assayer Francisco De Pedrera Y Negrete

many thanks, I think I can now make out the London and the Civitas Cantor Canterbury I can see it clearly now this is pointed out, ....its been a great help and still finding more that I'm working though Civitas is a Latin word that means citizenship, state, or city-state. hence CIVITAS CANTOR = Canterbury CIVITAS LONDON . All the very best "H" 👍

Many thanks for this, so one is Canterbury class 9, the other is Class 10... would this be Canterbury? or Calais , London?? with these I read somewhere , "No mintmarks were issued during the reign of Edward I, II. A system combination of Mint place names and Moneyer's was used" errrrrmmm? How?? many many thanks "H"

was looking for a post to add some of these coins to.... the rabbit isn't mine, the "Jack" may be a Love token... I have another that is Victorian 3 pence thats very elaborately engraved. to add later on. all the best "H"

Back to the top of this post 9th of Jan, I incorrectly listed these as 2 x Penny's Edward III 1327-1377....... Today I've found another of what I now think is a 1 Penny - Edward I, class 10? ( I have the dates as 1300-1310... other places I read it as in circulation 1301-1305 ?) long cross Pattee, or Potent ? please shout out if this different from the other one previously posted, from the collection point of view it would be nice to have one that's different. many thanks "H"

Awesome & concise explanation as to why.... fascinating history as to how things occur.... Many thanks Sylvester

The collection that was already started has been made up with rubbed / circulated adding anything that's been circulated, reasonable condition preferred please dates needed 1886, 87, 88, 91, 92, 93, 94, 98. others I'm also looking to replace 1896 rubbed, 1897 gashed.. let me know what's available

ahhhhh! this one also need to be explained... I found this one whilst sorting through the 3 pence's ...is this a stamp issue from the mint? the obverse seems fine apart from the area by the GE on the George ... be really interested to know why. cheers "H"

So the time has moved on with the Hoard of 3 pence's.... from out of the 53 I found 21 are in respectable condition, interesting exercise and learning curve has been the grading process, having 6 of the same dated coin in the palm, remove ones that are gashed etc, turn over an compare portrait decide which is least rubbed, reject others and may the best man win and remains in the collection, now in date order in a folder it also illustrated I don't think it was ever intended as a collection, theses have been passed to me and do as you see fit.... so... why not fill in the gaps and pass on something respectable for the next generation.. the road to be taking.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh! so that answers another coin question, I wasn't keen on keeping certain coins (such as this one) but as its explainable and as a talking point will add it to the "on hold" pile for now.... I'm keeping the Counterstamp coin as this is fascinating me although others see it devalued....

1922 florin (already shown Feb 8th) ....... this seems to have issues, on looking closer it looks like brass is eating through, I understood these are .500 silver..... could it be this is fake? is there an age reaction that happens?? or am I misunderstanding???

wow a coin from around 1066 time would be something to have even as a fragment, some of my collection is bits of coin.....many thanks for the share, cheers "H"

Numerous moneyer and mint name varieties exist. BMC#5 Duke William of Normandy claimed the throne of England on the death of his cousin Edward the Confessor. An important monetary reform occurred towards the close of the reign with the introduction of the geld de moneta assessed on boroughs. This may be seen as part of the raft of administrative reforms initiated by William I, which included the compilation of the Domesday Book in 1086. With great sadness its not owned by me.... does anyone on the forum have one in their collection? would be nice to see one... all the best "H"

Awesome collection....Enough Said,

ahahahah..An there I was thinking I was overloading forum with all the newbie input... I have slowed down as I'm trying to rationalise what relevant and what isn't. oh and thank you everyone who have assisted during the first few weeks, its been great help. all the best "H"

Ahhhhhhhh,! the forum has been a wealth of information, Ive been sorting through 30 odd years of picking up silver coins and only now beginning to get coins in a date order these start off in 1200's into the 1800's over 18 different coins, ok so value is of interest however finding out the scarcer they are has out weighed this for my interest...its also nudge me into learning more about The Royals...... Numista has been a useful place that I will look to... many thanks Peckris 2,

looking at my line up the William 3rd Shilling is really rubbed out, this is troubling me and would like to improve on this, If by chance. please give me a shout if any are for offer. many thanks "H"

Crikey.... I didnt realise, I thought Numista was based on a rarity index listed else where ? I do have to say there was such a rarity index else where then please do share...id hate to be responsible for listing duff information, and like others i will find a rarity index of use. Peckris... many thanks for your input...others..... please disregard my coin rarity previously stated...its very possible to be not valid ......sorry!
