the obverse

Happy Friday, so I do try to find these in order, a order maybe beginning to settle...... maybe??? yesterday I found 3 James I errrrmmm shillings? these will follow on and I need to confess the James I look like they've been looked at during the time spent with me and I have a indication what information has already been discovered about them.... I save these for later as it looks like an interesting one, so.. George III 1819 George IIII 1821 Crowns... I very nearly posted this as George III Crowns, I did check the dates and who was around, aha! correction G III & G IIII Rubbed and bashed? any ideas as to the values would be use.... Also1819 was a very turbulent and unsettled time in England: The Peterloo Massacre took place at St Peter's Field, Manchester, Lancashire, England, on Monday 16 August 1819. Eighteen people died and 400–700 were injured when cavalry charged into a crowd of around 60,000 people who had gathered to demand the reform of parliamentary representation. Blood Heck Sabres at Dawn !

Wow, the workmanship is incredible, Busy..but incredible.... I'm sure I don't have have one... but I'm still working through them, Cheers "H"

Hello Paddy, I seem to think I had a period of luck finding these regularly I knew they were silver so was buying them up, it did make me wonder if it was a Half Crown so now Ive been corrected all of its its information is going onto a tag so I can keep everyone in the family updated. many thanks "H"

the obverse of both,

hello again, looking through the layers of coins ( all in pockets) 4 more crowns have been found, now someone more organised would have put them in groups and some sort of an order, I didnt!!!!! of late I had a bit of a issue with memory and its hopefully going to get better...... 2 for today... 1892 Victorian Jubilee Head silver crown slightly more dinged so I guess value £30... following on from yesterday. the other 1892 is slightly smaller (Half Crown?) and different obverse. Value? its much better condition but have been circulated, any guidance greatly welcome. All the best "H"

I really like the good side and at least there's continuous with in my collecting of coins, 🤣 its all history and I'm learning, Cheers "H"

Hello and thank you, I was left alone so I guess I felt for it, one half decent side is better than none... I keep looking and I do have some more to show so you never know......many thanks Rgds "H"

Hello, so with what's been talked about with my recent shown this hopefully might be right....... for your consideration I'd like to share with you King Charles I Shilling (12p) circa 1625 - 1649 its been sheared & buckled made at which mint ? I seem to recall this was a left over from a sale of a collection that had been broken, again it wouldn't have been that much. any ideas of its value will be greatly welcome. All the very best "H"

I Really also like the tone to the 1892, so please these are correct, Many thanks "H"

Awwwww thats great to hear, I really thought i was on a downward turn with some of the others. historically I was just buying blind and a real magpie, this has been another real great help, really thank you all for the time taken and the input, Rgds "H"

the outer edge...

Todays listing, I have a case of were the coins have been stored over the years, and as they have been shown and Identified I will hopefully gain some sort of order, life will be easier? So I hope that I can get things right before showing and so far this what I make of todays coin,,,,,, Silver Crown of King George the III dated 1820. The obverse shows a laureate head portrait of George II by Benedetto Pistrucci. His name appears below the truncation of the portrait’s neck and Pistrucci’s name again appears on the ground beneath the horse. this much I manage to look up. the rest Id really appreciate your consideration all and any comments welcome, ideas about value also can help. all the very best "H"

Well I never.... a Counterfeit living or occurring at the same time, I did go an have a look see CooooooooL! The Treason Act 1415 (4 Hen. 5. Stat. 1. c. 6) was an Act of the Parliament of England which made clipping coins high treason, punishable by death. (It was already treason to counterfeit coins. ) The act was repealed by the Treason Act 1553, and then revived again in 1562. The act originally only protected English coins, but was later extended in 1575 to cover foreign coins "current" within England........ Also..... Treason is perhaps the most infamous crime in English Legal History, due in part to the horrendous punishment that came with it but also due to its often strong political importance. The punishment that was often inflicted was the drawing of the traitor across rough ground by horse, he would then be hanged to within an inch of death, followed by being disembowelled, burnt, and beheaded. Your remaining carcass was cut into four pieces. The punishment of being hung, drawn and quartered has morbidly captured the public’s imagination for many centuries. Bloody heck!

obverse side,

Firstly, Many thanks & apologies, Thank you goes without explaining, its a great help since all that I'm having to deal with since the stroke, Having the coins has been useful as I needed to focus on an interest and helps keep my head working and a nice distraction. Apologies, before it happens I hope that all I have shown over the last few days isn't becoming a plague of a misdirection and uninteresting gathers hoard that is I guess a magpie approach to formulating what could be loosely be called a collection. all I can now say is let see what we can do with this in the near future ......Really I do thank you for of this. so the first sheet was completed with 1 fake so far so good. enjoying the history lesson and being able to show what I've found over the years. these I think are pretty safe, 1676 Charles II Silver Crown 1892 Victoria Sliver Crown both are dinged and rubbed, the Victoria I really like the tone, the Charles it seems to have writing around the outer edge and Ive really just noted, is this just on this coin or other? your opinions will be really welcome, I can take the bad with the good / great news, if you happen to know the value please do tell.

Ah, no wasn't me, and yes kept just in case it comes in handy..... on one Sunday afternoon trudging around a hot field looking at stalls that are best described as one stop away a rubbish dump... I happen upon a paste table with carrier bags loaded with bones... turns out the fella is house clearance service and a loft at a doctors house was cleared, all sorts of medical equipment and.... stuff was sold. last knockings at 3pm find what you want and make an offer..... my kinda chat! so skull was sold to his mate and the rest had to go as his wife didn't want it back in the house...by order! so manage to find the right hand and with £3.20p to my name a deal was done!

following on from yesterdays failing of the.... "this I believe to be 40 Pence Scotland Charles I 1625-49, XL 3rd coinage ?" yes! I was a bit miffed and I was really distracted by the an another questionable coin that I remembered just as I prepared for sleep...... I mulled it over and decided to tell and show even though I'd already decided to show all the silver coins first before moving on. So it was purchased from a online auction place..... it was 2002? the seller had only one listed, he was employed as a furniture reupholster, it was a antique sofa type of furniture that been around for ever, the owner had jokingly said that he could keep any coins if he happened to find behind it, I remember although it meant nothing to me that it was made with horse hair and sack seat and when ripping it apart the coin had been found.... now he said he was reputable kind of person and when collected after being restored he asked if it was all right to keep any coins that he had found? the owner laughed and said yes you keep the change as a tip!!!! result? so now, I seem to think that the owner before had it checked out and it was genuine...... 23 ish years on I guess I better get it checked out....is this been matter of Fact or Fiction? Once again many thanks for the help. Rgds "H"

Awwwwwwwwwwww! bummer! oh well 50p ventured nothing gained and hence why it was buried in a mix change lot, aww well another day...another dollar.... Many thanks for taking time out and updating whats wrong with the right, Rgds "H"

Hello all, with this coin I have held back with showing, its in much better condition and have always question if its a copy? this I believe to be 40 Pence Scotland Charles I 1625-49, XL 3rd coinage ? another thing that whilst I looked in to the service of this coin Falconers and Briots I've seen mentioned but still need to know more, is this mint related? please advise. again I think it was a boot fair around the 90's it was a mixed of 1950's and foreign coinage, so not a big purchase........... maybe as much as 50p. please do have a look and see what you think, many thanks "H"

Today I'd like to share 2x six pence added, Ive really had a good look into these and hopefully these are right ish. 1566 Queen Elizabeth I six pence King Charles I. (Stuart (VI) six pence, CHRISTO AUSPICE REGNO “I reign with Christ as my protector" Reign 27 March 1625 – 30 January 1649 was a king of England, Scotland and Ireland, whose conflicts with parliament and his subjects led to civil war and his execution, beheaded in London, England, on January 30, 1649..... Wow! .

Awesome, it probably would have been boot car finds in the early 1990's, a few £ each, oh and I also picked up a Human hand for £3.20p Many thanks Stuart. I'm keeping a label with each of them so the next family member will at least be of interest for them.

Its a Figure of speech by me, "Cool Junk" I have many Items that I wouldn't part with and will be showing some items, I'm so interested in the coins that I have and how the heck was the coins trackable with so much going on? and really Many thanks for the help, I did get around to a close up of the 1571, hope fully this will help answer the question about the mint.

I forgot to mention, I did notice the tudor rose to the right of the coins with the faces dated 1591 & the 1571, interesting (for me as just only noticed)

Redemption required, This (I hope) is the worse of the worse finished with, at least by todays offerings, the collecting? is to be honest must be the most un organised, random assembly of "why the heck did he get that!?!??!?" entertainment ! 😁 so I think we have 1591 James VI (seen better days) J758 George II VF 1571 Elizabeth I (knackered?) please be gentle with me........
