Henry III Penny. 1250-72, Class 5g ROB ERT ONC ANT. Moneyer Robert at the Canterbury mint. ( Thank you Stuart for yesterdays explanation, 👍) Reading up on this I found Phase III was mention, no explanation as to why............?

I do like a countermark albeit Silver, this was dismissed by others years ago as it was stamped and unwanted as they were viewed as devalued, glad I kept mine. 👍

Ahhhhhh!.... I did pick up on the NIC / OLE I was trying for the on LVNDE or something like CIVI / TAZ. Stuart helped me out with this 👍Its a learning curve and beginning to pick up on such as hENRY III, ah and The Coins Of England book is on its way ........, many thanks all for the help its greatly appreciated, "H"

I will definitely look into this again, I did try the jewellers eye, this wasn't of much help as I was left thinking it was Roman.... 🤔😕 many thanks for all the guidance... "H"

well I never..........its pretty done with....I'm relieved that there seems to be only one that snuck in. would this be a James 1st Stuart Hammered Copper Farthing?

The Long cross had me thinking London due to the Star... Mintmark 3: thicker 6-pointed star, struck at London and provincial mints, c.1249 was canterbury a provincial mint, hence the Star? Many Thanks "H"

found amongst the silver hammered coins hoard....Roman?....Bronze...? many thanks "H" 👍

the reverse....

some close ups,

Henry III Long & Short Cross..... Long Cross, Type 3b, mint 3, 6 point star, Nicole....of London? 1249 ( I can make out the Nic ole.. but the rest?) its been pierced,, common practice to thread on cord to prevent losing.... Short Cross, Type 7b1,Terri on LVNDE , Terri of London....1216 I'm quite please with the reading but still a bit sketchy about Classes.....

Many thanks Rob, on order from E-bay 👍 Cheers "H"

Edward III Or Richard II, Pennies.... I believe there's x2 different kings in the group....? 1334...1356...1377...? Calais...York... London is no 4 👍 Cross Pattee...Cross 3... Mint stamp...possibly?

so another Try at guess the coins....................? Henry VI Penny 1423 ish... annulet issue, 1st reign? I did note that 2 of the group of 3 pellets have circles in the middle is this because they were minted in Calais?... Please advise... Elizabeth 1 Half Groat 1601-1602, 7th issue, London I think this is correct...........🤔

Really! Oh my days!! this is really useful errrrmmmm so the questions to fill in the gaps. Edward III ? 1344 Threefarthings....London, I cant thank you enough for all your input, once a page is full I will up load a photo, all the very best "H"

I do still have this Edward III 1/2 Penny 1344, 3rd coinage London ???? to be confirmed...........

Aha...........phew! this can now be put into the hammered coins file that are now identified..... My 1st Threefathings (3/4 of a Penny) The 1561-1565 Threefarthings - Elizabeth I Hammered Silver Threefarthing coin (three-quarters of a penny) of Queen Elizabeth I, minted about 1561-1565 (the coin is dated but digits are worn). Diameter 13mm and weighs 0.345g. Third or fourth issues. Minted at the Tower (London) mint. SCBC: 2571. North: 2002. Although an unual denomination, the Threefarthing coin is not too difficult to find and often well less than £200. Specimens are usually quite poor quality and can show signs of clipping. A milled version was minted in 1563, but only three are known and are very expensive. The design is very similar to the threehalfpence coin, which is just 2mm larger in diameter. The Obverse shows a portrait of Queen Elizabeth I facing left, wearing a ruff and embroidered dress. Rose behind to right. Mint mark is a pheon (a downward pointing arrow). Legend is "E D G ROSA SINE SPINA". meaning Elizabeth by the grace of God, a rose without a thorn. Edge is plain. The Reverse shows a quartered coat-of-arms with a cross fourchee on top; beaded inner circle aith legend "CIVITAS LONDON" and the pheon mint mark. .........Well that was a easy learning curve!!!!!!! 😕 and truly Many Many thanks for all the time involved sorting out the mystery's. "H"

this I believe to be correct as i have found other that I have already Identified.... Charles 1st Six Pence 1636-38 4th Bust, Group D, Mint Tun. Rubbed & Buckled but can make out VI.....

Hello Stuart, so.........its... Elizabeth 1, threehalfpence, 1578, Cross Greek, London.....? I do suffer with fatigue and confusion some days unless its plainly spelt out sometimes.......I'm keen to work through all of the hammered I have so order is in place, many thanks. all help greatly appreciated.

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"

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"

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"

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?
