    Aha, found amongst the hoard.. un sure what the PB is for or what looks like either oars...or a Maori fighting staff ???? surounded within a 4 Pointed Star. any Ideas?? Regards "H"
  2. Citizen H
    I think I can see a faint 4 could the die be damaged and silver moved into the crack, .......? please show the obverse.... really like these finds👍

    Hey Paddy, wow...another contemporary forgery....I did wonder as yes it looked the wrong colour....it was one of Grandads hoard so not sure he was caught out by this or just chucked the collection, if nothing else it will be a talking point...many thanks Paddy for all the input.....Rgds "H"

    taken some time to revisit Grandads hoard, these I felt were worth listing although rubbed. George III 1816 1 Shilling new coinage. George I 1723 1 SS,C Shilling 1st Bust

    Many thanks, its reassuring to have other opinions especially when there's doubt is going around in my mind..... admittedly I do sympathetically wash the grubby ones over removing the hand grime and god only knows what else they have been covered in...however this one I left well alone.....other than the colour its in a more than air condition so its a keep, 👍many thanks fellas, Cheers "H"

    Today I found this crown thats been on the side for some months.....I admittedly am a cleaner of grubby coins, warm soapy water soak and a soft tooth brush. the coins that otherwise have been dismissed turn out to be quite a good grade hiding under all of the grime... I dont polish or remove tarnish....which leads to the attached. this is untouched by me, I have been wondering if the tarnish is artificial ? it looks an odd / even colour to me.... any comments welcome....

    ah... ok that's promising, I will keep anything that is scarce....although over 30 odd years ago I did have Pennies checked out that were dismissed... they seem to be making a come back.. I did move them on and perused hammered and others..... many thanks for the updates. 👍

    being honest pennies really don't interest me, these have been hanging around just in case something has been missed......?

    Its been an interesting journey... the grade of the condition and the value...of late I have found comparisons of same coin same date but wow.. how different they look side by side... unless told otherwise the more worn example I will place in the box of selling on in the future.... but isn't it amazing to see how circulated silver ends up. many thanks "H"
  12. Citizen H
    Hello and thank you....its very interesting as no I wasn't aware of the overdate, once again many thanks for assisting with the grade, Rgds "H"

    George II 1758, Six Pence, Older bust worth a show as I really like the early milled coins that I've been finding amongst others, I don't a have a clue as how to grade this... any suggestions? greatly appreciated "H"
  14. Citizen H
    a better picture of the obverse side.
  15. Citizen H
    its been hanging around and resides in a pot of unrecognisable hammered coins, I have given it my best and last chance of its identification.... I have it as a Farthing, Edward I or II Civi Taz = City Of.....? so not much to go on...unless anyone else happens to know ? all the best H"

    adding to the pile of coppers that's mounting......Doh and aided with the Spink book, what's believed to be a ... Charles I, Farthing Copper 1625-1649..... what's you say?
  21. Citizen H
    I really cant remember when or where they came from...... 1st is a 1776, 1 Grano, Emmanuel De Rohan, Malta Coin, thats quite rare.......ish ? 2nd is a 1787 1 Duit, The Dutch East India Company, West Friesland I'm not sure if its because its copper..? I'd be more interested in these if it was silver coins...Sorry! coppers just don't sing to me.... 🤷
  22. Citizen H
    errmmmm... I found this amongst my hoard, if its of interest? Again apart from its a half penny, GIV, dated 1827... not much more to say

    Hello Jerry, Number 1, yes you was correct its a, Belgium, +NAM[ ] suggests it is a continental copy of a sterling penny, minted by William of Namur (Belgium) between 1377 and 1391.... its very satisfying finding out what a coin actually is. 👍 many thanks one and all. "H"
