  1. These two have had me wondering for months, both being rubbed I cant even make out who the crown is.... any suggestion? Many thanks "H"
  2. Many Thanks, its a nice grade, I have a younger relation who's kinda interested in some Ive shown, passing on to him some of the nicer pennies may inspire him to show more of an interest, once again, many thanks "H"👍
  3. ...I still dont recall where these pennies came from, ... this one was in a Bank Bag with others and it struck me that its quite a high grade...🤔 prior to chucking in with the scrap, though better to ask if its of interest and leaning towards the side of keeping the darn things? all and any input welcome. 👍
  4. Russian 10 Kopeks, Alexander I, 1823 Silver .868 mm. St Peterburg initialled ПД - Pavel Danilov Pavel Danilov was a mint master at the Saint Petersburg Mint during the reign of Alexander I in the early 19th century. He is known for his work on the 1823 silver rouble 👍
  5. Aha... re discovered these....convict coins was mention some years back I believe one is George II 1727-1760 the coin is engraved 1749....the other engraved but unable to decipher any details..... anyone able to offer up more details would be most welcome....
  6. some that I have picked up ages ago......
  7. Arrrrggghhhhh! more strays showing up. ( Albeit Half Penny's)😧 ah, So ......of any interest? worth keeping??
  8. similar as Paddy I have coins that have holes in them and counter stamped. I have others that have been engraved as love tokens, nice enough in there own right. 👍
  9. Ah.. as yet no scales... the size is that of a penny... the coin was identified by a authority of Hammered coins that I approached, i don't have any others to compare with..... so I'm happy with its identification, unless any other suggestions come along 👍
  10. wow, the penny has been Identified to be .......😲👍 Edward III, York. Quatrefoil in centre of reverse, CIVI TAS EBO RACI
  11. 4 more invaders found whilst sorting things out..... Anything of interest .......worth keeping ?
  12. Another randomly found lurking at the bottom of a cardboard box... "Ivan The Terrible" Horseman brandishing sabre on galloping horse to right Silver (.960) Lettering: КНSЬ ВЕЛIКI IВАН Translation: Grand Duke Ivan interesting find for me 👍

  13. Its come to pass that I keep feeling the need to move on with the pile of really...really worn out hammered coins. Ive tried and cant get beyond thinking this may be Edward I... on the reverse I can make out Civi Tas ..beyond that nothing comes to mind.... Any Ideas?
  14. I need to spend a penny!!!!!!!!! 🤣
  15. Ah! errrrmmmm, this was a lash up on my part, 3 hammered coins in need of confirmation, I had an email confirming 2 of the hammered are... (The arched crown is Henry VII, an early issue before the sovereign pennies come in.The other one is possibly Edward IV's Light Cross and Pellets Irish coinage - these have a quatrefoil centre and are virtually always struck on too small flans, so with most or all of the legend missing as here. ) so this related to the lower 2 coins, the 1st coin I had down as a Henry VII Penny, Clipped 1485-1509. Eirestan mentions the mm. Tun so 1493-95 Canterbury... wow... it amazes me that chaos and confusion can be easily resolved...by them in the know....Happily these are now put to rest.....its been a long day. 🙄
  16. I put up the coins as I'm sifting through the hammered with my opinion of what it may be (still loads to learn), a coin expert was passing and got to chat and I just asked for a look and confirmation of what I thought it was... in blue was a reply .... so at least I can happily put this coin in the folder with albeit brief confirmation...👍☺️
  17. the two coins are as follows..... The arched crown is Henry VII, an early issue before the sovereign pennies come in. The other one is possibly Edward IV's Light Cross and Pellets Irish coinage - these have a quatrefoil centre and are virtually always struck on too small flans, so with most or all of the legend missing as here.👍
  18. This is an Edward I penny minted in London. This is identified by the obverse inscription EDWR’ANGL’DNS[HYB] 👍
  19. This was found lurking in with some worn Hammered coins....... Silver 6 Pfennings 1734. Prince Louis Rudolph (Ludwig Rudolf) (1731-1735) Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) apparently quite a rarity 👍
