Citizen 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"

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"

for sale.... to be honest I haven't fished through these.. If there's any interest in these then I will work through them and list dates etc. feel free to get in touch, all the best "H"

a better picture of the obverse side.

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"

Aha, so sorry, I have Fatigue and with the heat I get up more tired that going to bed... this would have been posted half asleep... will try harder in future, apologies "H" 😔

1 Dreiling 1733, (Thaler Currency) Empire of the German Nation, .187 Silver 3 Pfennig 1707 B H Karl Friedrich, rare ? silver unsure what purity....

The 1/16 Dollar - George IV, 1822, British West Indies, were struck in .892 silver.... The ¼ Rupee - William IV 1835, East India Company, were struck in .917 silver.... any further information greatly welcome...all the very best, "H"

bloody heck....enough said.......

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?

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.... 🤷

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

unless told otherwise, nothing special or fancy......🤔

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"

over the weekend many hours spent comparing images in the Spink Coins of England & the united kingdom book...... the copper farthing is very worn and disfigured after waying up a realising it was going to be a tough call.... I have decided that its Charles I, Copper Farthing, 1625-1649..... fortunately I haven't found any more amongst the hoard....and will be putting the hammered to one side until I've read up more..... many thanks "H" 👍

He was born at the family mansion, Englefield House, near Reading, Berkshire, I was Born In Reading and lived 12 miles away, I grew up near a manor house that was empty and a mates mum was a caretaker, we snuck off and found a room full of floor to ceiling shelfs...? we climbed them and went around the room without touching the floor...... Turns out it was a library, owned by Alexander Pope the poet ...... that was a childhood memory I never forgot when I found out who it was owned by......

Well I Never....... I really haddent spotted the Star, I was quite close when thinking S1391, Edward I, London, ..... a look see on Rod Blunts web page, and found........ Type 9b (c.1299 - 1300/01) - Spink 1408, North 1037/1 Coins of type 9b are divided into two varieties. 9b1 has the same crown as 9a2, but a new letter S, which is not top-tilted. 9b2 has a new crown with a straight-sided right side-fleur. Both varieties often have a star on the breast, and similar lettering. The letter A is usually unbarred, C and E are round, N is normal, unbarred, or frequently of pothook form, S is non-composite........ Its beginning to make sense, However I can see there's lots more to understand, Stuart as always Many Many Thanks for the direction.... Cheers "H"

Hello...... Spink book arrived and has been ........interesting, 👍 reading can be difficult and I tire quickly. most Hammered coins are easy to understand with the book until........ the Edwards need deciphering...... any guidance in regards to the Edwards would be helpful as they all start looking the same.. laying the coin on the page it looks like it may be..... S1391....? what do you think?? 🤔 Looking through what I've already had Identified I note that there's no Edward II....so far.
