  4. ah, Stuart..... the coin 1½ Pence - Elizabeth I 3rd and 4th issue; and related information I got off Numista, the coin is approximately 15mm across although its buckled.... this is why I though its 1½ Pence....... just to clarify... what is the coin ? my head reads it is now a 3 half pence? I try to look this up but found nothing... Many many thanks for all the help, "H"
  5. first up, this post I have been putting off for some time..... just wanted to be correct and as sure I could be right as possible, the Edwards?..... are just waiting for now......! 1. Elizabeth 1 1/2 pence 1578, Cross Greek, London..... 2. Elizabeth 1/2 penny 6th Issue,1582-1600, Woolpack I've read that the 1/2 penny's are faked... any comments / opinions would be greatly welcome, all the best "H"
  6. Hello Paddy, yours is in really good condition, I did wonder about fakes, on mine the No 5 looks suspect & the lower bust looks different...or just rubbed out ??!??!?! I did look into the Milling of the coins with the artists impression of how these were made.....Most Interesting read. Many thanks "H"
  7. Elizabeth 1 Six Pence 1562 Milled, I found this in the box of Hammered coins I have and working through sorting them out. Minted for 1 year, Mint Mark "Star", Large Rose Rare?
  8. George V Florins.. 1911 rubbed 1914 & 1919 very nice condition.....
  9. Unusual and didn't rate them ...... until now. an interesting rediscovery lurking in a box amongst other military items being made ready to move on. 162_ ? Dutch Republic Colonial (West Frisia) 1 Daalder, interesting Identified by the Lions tail faces the head, 1604 1 Thaler, Prince Cristian II, Electorate of Saxony (German States) rare ? any more information would be greatly welcome. 👍
  10. 1 Shilling - Edward VI 3rd period 1551-1553 Fine silver issue (.929) House of Tudor (1485-1603), Edward VI (1547-53), Third period (1550-53), Fine silver issue (1551-53). Silver fineness of 11oz. 3dwt., slightly finer than the Sterling standard of .925.
  11. Victoria 2nd portrait Jubilee Head Mintage 1 233 378 Engraver: Joseph Edgar Boehm it looks in a nice condition, with minor dings..... I'm really not the best to offer a valuation or what the grade is.......as I've been asking the same my self lately, take a look on E-bay and see what's listed and how much they go for is a fair guide 👍
  12. 3 Crowns. Charles II 1668 Victoria 1845 Victoria1892 This Is another challenge, I dont recall where I bought these, Its most likely a Boot Fair Circa 1980's 90's I really ought to have a valuation as nothing has been listed on insurance, Its quite possible that Ive had a charmed life of things looking back at some of the ones I've bought....Blindly!?!? I just believed that if I liked them and they felt good... it was good.... I keep putting off things as theres another zip bag of Hammered coins I found 4 weeks ago to go through......this could be a blessing...... or a curse! 😟
  13. Bloody Hell...!!!!!! Aaarrrrrrggghhhhh! I knew it was to good to be true!!! ,,,,,,,, lets agree its not a proof Issue! 🤷 Doh!!!
  14. George IIII 1821 Six Pence 1st reverse this coin was only minted for 1821,....... and found here to be in a nice condition...👍
  15. Victoria Six pence...1893, if correct.....apparently only had a Mintage of 1 300 of this date... Awesome!
  16. Today I've been mainly looking at Six Pence's. George II, interestingly the1745 has the "Lima" stamp, I only just seen today ...... The 1745 sixpence coin from the reign of King George II is a silver coin notable for its historical significance and value, made from captured Spanish silver. Lima, Peru👍
  17. it was a surprise as unseen by the eye, I keep looking through my hoard looking for the unusual and best of quality rather than keep loading up with the same ole same...Bla Bla Blah... 👍 many thanks "H"
  18. Victorian 4 Pence 1842 I thought Id show as its in a nice condition considering the others I have,...... take a look at the N in Pence, it looks deformed, Grease in the die? I wasn't able to spot this with the Jewellers Eye.
  19. you know you could be right, the coin although the faults it has doesn't have much signs of circulation wear, and buried in acidic soil makes sense, I cleaned of the crud & grime ....Many thanks "H"
  20. Victorian 1879 3d I always soak new addition grimy silver coins in warm soapy water and a gentle tooth brush then rise.... just enough to remove hand grease and grime and wait to see what the coins turn out to be condition wise. on this occasion I haven't come across this before... it looks like in its life it may came into contact to maybe an acid,? its not pitting?? so is it Erosive or Corrosive reaction? any explanations from mint issues ? cheers "H"
  21. by chance can we see the other side? Its bad when any fakes are sold and bought in good faith, fortunately it wasn't an expensive coin.
  22. firstly I'd like to thank everyone for chipping in... its been tiering and some days its like nothing is working out.... pushing on,......... these two I put to one side and then forgot them for weeks, I thought I saw similar on here weeks ago and cant re find these again....Doh! anyways could it be that these are....... 1 Penny - John Third "REX" coinage; Dublin ?
  23. The 8 looks like it has a part missing, the shield looks nice, 👍
  24. After a bit of reading and comparing against other coins, could it be ........½ Penny - Edward III 3rd coinage; London 1344-1351 ?
  25. at its widest its 14mm across, Edward, with little else to go on.....Help!!!!! many thanks "H"
