Citizen H

Awesome, Edward III, pleased that was correct, its a real challenge with these Edwards. the heads up with the Annulet has given me additional info to look into. this info has already lead to..... CIVI TAS DVNE LMIE Translation: City of Durham, so that was right although the rest was rubbed away. Many thanks is been a great help, 🙏

its been a difficult time of sifting through the Hammered as most are beyond recognition...., this one although rubbed Ive been looking at for months and hopefully its.... Edward III Weighs 0.9 grams I can make out DVNE from the reverse Durham ... below the bust S o R, I thought would help Identify and have a better Idea of Class...errrmmm No Ive drawn a blank, any assistance greatly welcome. 👍

ohhhh! and I did spot a flaw its only a lump between the teeth and the 2nd letter I in Victoria.....👍

just tacking on to this topic in regards to found in good condition,...... and theses six pence's dated 1911 George V and a young head Victoria 1887 fall into this category, I had these dates already paged however theses are in so much better condition, so need to show and switch them out... 👍

Loddy Heck!!! errrmmmm... This George V 1911 2 pence Maundy is also in nice condition as well 😕 I don't no how has happed but its in nice condition all the same. 👍

I see, so maybe a lump of the has broken off leaving an area to be filled in by the coin when minting.... awesome 👍

This 1819 George III Crown..... I'm not sure if its been shown before however it wasn't in a folder, loose with others. I did note that above the date a flaw....across the engravers name P I S T R U C C I Is this a common flaw with this date?

I have found........., 4th bust 1673 KM# 438.1VICESIMO QVINTO 1673 KM# 438.2plume below bust 1673 KM# 438.3centre plume reverse I've not found references to stops, hopefully others will chip in with more information ... 👍

errrrmmmmmm? found this'un and in the spirit of thing with the penny interest (although I'm not 🤷‍♂️) I thought id show you all... its not my interest but may float someone's boat... not sure if its a wonky 6 or misshaped 2 ???? or whatever I'm supposed to be looking out for?!?!??! Victorian Penny 1862 👍

many thanks Paddy, you example clarifies the No 5 on my worn one, its one I can keep as a space filler until I come across another, Many thanks and all the very best , 👍

Ummmmmm! In the attached photo is 2 x Schillings, the upper one is dated 1839 and is clear to see, the lower one.....? could it be 1859 ? or disfigured 1839 ?? any opinions appreciated. 👍

A better picture of the Star Stop. 👍

Hello Paddy, quite right, I managed to find this on the web that someone else was looking into, a useful picture of the difference between the Cinquefoil and the Star 👍

aha, there's a trace of what may be Cinquefoil ? its the best image I can obtain with all the other dings included in the photo.

🤣errrmmm as for the book I hadn't been out of hospital that long when I decided to start with the forum and get the coin situation in my life sorted , it wasn't something id seen before an unable to see if it would be of use to me...its proven to be a useful tool, and I will endeavour to find a better copy, I cant fault the 2009 copy for the £4 it cost... not sure were you'd buy a lunchtime beer with a snack from at this price...? besides I've not had a drink of beer in years.... tablets, health, etc etc etc, 👍

Ahhhh,.... this is good as the photos get with worn crown... apologise for the poor quality of the photos and the coins that I seem to been a magnet to.....

now that's interesting, I will see if I can get any further detail from the rubbed one thats a 1844, my spink book was a entry level purchase whilst I was starting to get things sorted....its a 2009 version...and was cheap, 👍I will indeed look for a newer version, all the very best "H"

Looking into when the first Victorian Crown was minted and in circulation got to wondering about... cinquefoil and star on edges If by chance would anyone have images of the star version I believe x 2 of mine are cinquefoil, 1 x ? its rubbed so why Im asking for a comparison. any comments on the crowns I have showing greatly appreciated. 👍

Hello Rob and many thanks for getting back to me on this matter, very pleased to have found another oddity 👍

1864 half penny, looks like it had a crude hole made in it many years ago, a touch piece ?

Today whilst re sifting through them destine to be sold I had a moment of "Hold On!" ( I tend to do this, a lot, I just feel that I can quite easily miss something important😕) However this one caught my eye and so I washed the crud off, the Florin now reveals a ledge on the reverse, wow! now I do like a fault. a die press error? well it made my day, Have a great Weekend ☺️

Found another quite good condition coin from the hoard..... albeit 2 pence Maundy, George IIII, 1822, 😕 not sure I can cope with all of these good condition coins after a life time of manky worn out ones.... 😕

these are ones I have, may be a useful comparison..... 👍 some more info, Composition Silver (.925) Weight 15.05 g Diameter 34 mm Thickness 1.9 mm Orientation Coin alignment ↑↓

die numbers and their associations do interest me also, Shillings (being sliver) and nice weight coin size, most of the Victorians I have are heavily worn / circulated, with the introduction with some dates with die number adds to (my) enjoyment / interest and swells the collection / hoard..... 🤔 at one time Victorian penny's weren't of interest / value, time moves on (and over everything) so its possible the Die No's coins will come into their own...one day.....Just a thought.

Ah yes... double florins produced by the Royal Mint from 1887 to 1890, coinciding with Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. It was one of the shortest-lived coin denominations, struck only for four years. 👍
