Citizen H

could you show both sides in full size, would be nice to see. 👍

Starting off, I owe you all a big Thank You...I came here 1 year ago and was recovering from a stroke... my reading and speaking has got better and my chaos has improved as well.... to a degree. Ive attached some photos of what's been paged and has put some order in place.... if the worse happen I'd hate to think what would have happen to these coins... The hammered coins (pennies) still cause problems for me and still there others to follow.... Sorry! 😟 once again a huge Thank You one and all for the support and clarification when assisting my queries, I wouldn't have been able to have got this far without it. Kind Regards "H"

maybe its been washed, to remove grime it will tone down in time, its been circulated so expect scratches, wear, and dings. 👍I must dig out some of mine...

just chipping in.... I tend to wash mine, warm soapy water, ultra soft brush to remove all the hand grime, some of my circulated Maundy's have improve immensely ....I tend to leave tarnished one's alone and never used silver dip,..... as mention by others gentle sympathetic washing wont harm the coins, rinse with cool clean water and pat dry, it works for me👍

ah! these are some of mine, the better ones.... to heavy to put in a folder so left in pouches 👍

These are the best of my bunch, 1864 is probably the best example that I have, these as the rest I have were boot fair finds well over 30 years ago, pre computers internet day and age...... also It turns out 12 months have passed by it was 1 year today that I first joined www.predecimal.com/forum 👍🍻

Hello Jerry, I have the scales that show they weigh 1 gram each, I took additional photos using a more up to date technology.... both coins are in a truly worn out condition so I was surprised that anything could be discovered....

I shared these photos with another expert. to my surprise they both have been identified in this condition. 😲 Edward I, penny, Canterbury. CIVI TAS CAN TOR Edward I, base silver, large flan, farthing. London LON DON IEN SIS crikey I nearly put them in with the others that are rubbed beyond recognition. This has been a great end to the year for me. 👍🍻

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"

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"👍

...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. 👍

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 👍

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....

some that I have picked up ages ago......

Arrrrggghhhhh! more strays showing up. ( Albeit Half Penny's)😧 ah, So ......of any interest? worth keeping??

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. 👍

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 👍

wow, the penny has been Identified to be .......😲👍 Edward III, York. Quatrefoil in centre of reverse, CIVI TAS EBO RACI

4 more invaders found whilst sorting things out..... Anything of interest .......worth keeping ?

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 👍

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?

I need to spend a penny!!!!!!!!! 🤣

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. 🙄
