    Hello Peckris. it is a William III 1696 Six Pence. measured in mm, apologise for missing out details, fatigue gets the better some days although I continue on..... all the best "H" 👍
  2. Citizen H
    aha... Another interesting find amongst the Hammered coins, a 1 Groschen (1 Grosz) 1624 its Polish–Lithuanian King Sigismund III Vasa silver , 👍

    That's as far as I go I can tell that its long cross, hammered and possibly a Edward. It weighs 0.194 and in the pictures its measured in mm. could it be a farthing? to rubbed to identify? any input welcome 🙏

    Many thanks, I've spotted a typo, its meant to read 1996 not "the 1692 looks .......wonky ?" its been a long day......🥱💤
  5. Citizen H
    to me its looks mis shaped, most of my milled coins are more circular, with this one I would appreciate any opinions the 1692 looks .......wonky ? would this have been turned out this way or happened through circulation?

    ??? its odd how these have found there way to me, The hammered ones that I picked up over the years and not realizing that they were from all over the world..... this is a Hungary Denier - Ferdinand II I think its 1622...but not being an expert so stand to be corrected if wrong 👍

    I did note that its a degree smaller than the other florins that I have in the set... I did throw me for awhile but Diameter 28 mm is correct. unlike the others at Diameter 28.50 mm 👍

    a early Florin minted only for 1848-1849... unfortunately its not in the best of condition, rubbed with a gash 😟 I did read some of these have smaller numbers... I take it this is the large numbers ?

    ah another different coin / token appears, Coin distributed by Beecroft & Sons toy shop (Nottingham, United Kingdom) as a means of advertising.

    Many Thanks for the input, during the early days when I joined the forum I asked about values but now realise establishing what I have and its condition / grade is more important... Its really appreciated that more experienced collectors are helping out as I work through my hoard... this will be a keep. 👍
  11. Citizen H
    So the reason of asking is if a coin is rare its condition goes by the side a little... this crown although its seen circulation is in quite good condition.... details are legible and minor rubbing... where would this Crown sit on the grade scale?
  12. Citizen H
    on looking through the pages ...I do have a 1840 Groat and others with duplicates😲 ...looks quite good as well. 👍
  13. Citizen H
    wow....so its wrong font...Awesome to know this.. it looked odd so now all explained. many thanks for this👍
  14. Citizen H
    Today more sorting out and I found a shilling its dated 1857, on magnifying it highlighted that the numbers were different sizes the 7 has a few blobs deformation to it as well ... possibly done at the mint with numbers changed as worn out?

    looking at the Half penny's that I have , like yours the details are still very vivid also being silver you'd think that they'd been cashed in melted down and re used ... Ive found 5 Halves that I have ...as yet no quarters, Hopefully others will join in, it will be of interest.... 👍

    Four Pence Victorian 1840 & 1877 (Maundy) Delving through the hoard today...... and these two I though were worth a show as they are in incredible condition.... which is a bit of a rarity amongst my lot.... 😲
  17. Citizen H
    in take of breath........ So looking through everything and believe that this is a Henry VII Penny, York Mint 1485-1500 Weight 0.5 obverse side completely rubbed the reverse side shows keys below the shield... so York Mint. so is it by chance Spink 2235 ? possibly rare? I have also found it to be called a "sovereign penny" but unsure if this is correct.

    cheers Stuart 👍

    many thanks for looking into this, the previous owner was a long time ago before I would have got it circa 1990's so Its great to finally have these looked and corrected, as all that I now have identified live in a page with others and I retain all of the information with the coins...albeit parts of coins .... very well done and much appreciated 🙏
  20. Citizen H
    This one comes with a slip of paper... Henry II, Short Cross, Class I ON. LVND. London Mint ? Coys55 helped out with the last ones and I remember that the name HENRICVS cover the reigns of Henry II, Richard, John and Henry III Any confirmation if this is correct would be a great welcome, Many Thanks "H"

    the I in SIX on the left looks wider towards the base of the letter...... to me.....🤔
  23. Citizen H
    I'm no expert in the slightest .... I did take look at Spink and saw 1272 Double inscription type coin, this is all very interesting and sure the other will be able to help out, all the best "H"
