	Victoria 2nd portrait Jubilee Head Mintage 1 233 378 Engraver: Joseph Edgar Boehm it looks in a nice condition, with minor dings..... I'm really not the best to offer a valuation or what the grade is.......as I've been asking the same my self lately, take a look on E-bay and see what's listed and how much they go for is a fair guide 👍

	  Florins, Shillings and Misc .... on going sort out.Citizen H replied to Citizen H's topic in Free for all 3 Crowns. Charles II 1668 Victoria 1845 Victoria1892 This Is another challenge, I dont recall where I bought these, Its most likely a Boot Fair Circa 1980's 90's I really ought to have a valuation as nothing has been listed on insurance, Its quite possible that Ive had a charmed life of things looking back at some of the ones I've bought....Blindly!?!? I just believed that if I liked them and they felt good... it was good.... I keep putting off things as theres another zip bag of Hammered coins I found 4 weeks ago to go through......this could be a blessing...... or a curse! 😟

	  Florins, Shillings and Misc .... on going sort out.Citizen H replied to Citizen H's topic in Free for all Today I've been mainly looking at Six Pence's. George II, interestingly the1745 has the "Lima" stamp, I only just seen today ...... The 1745 sixpence coin from the reign of King George II is a silver coin notable for its historical significance and value, made from captured Spanish silver. Lima, Peru👍

	  Florins, Shillings and Misc .... on going sort out.Citizen H replied to Citizen H's topic in Free for all Victorian 4 Pence 1842 I thought Id show as its in a nice condition considering the others I have,...... take a look at the N in Pence, it looks deformed, Grease in the die? I wasn't able to spot this with the Jewellers Eye.
- 
	you know you could be right, the coin although the faults it has doesn't have much signs of circulation wear, and buried in acidic soil makes sense, I cleaned of the crud & grime ....Many thanks "H"
- 
	Victorian 1879 3d I always soak new addition grimy silver coins in warm soapy water and a gentle tooth brush then rise.... just enough to remove hand grease and grime and wait to see what the coins turn out to be condition wise. on this occasion I haven't come across this before... it looks like in its life it may came into contact to maybe an acid,? its not pitting?? so is it Erosive or Corrosive reaction? any explanations from mint issues ? cheers "H"

	  1840 Shilling - FakeCitizen H replied to Alexander Masson's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries by chance can we see the other side? Its bad when any fakes are sold and bought in good faith, fortunately it wasn't an expensive coin.
- 
	firstly I'd like to thank everyone for chipping in... its been tiering and some days its like nothing is working out.... pushing on,......... these two I put to one side and then forgot them for weeks, I thought I saw similar on here weeks ago and cant re find these again....Doh! anyways could it be that these are....... 1 Penny - John Third "REX" coinage; Dublin ?
- 
	The 8 looks like it has a part missing, the shield looks nice, 👍
- 
	After a bit of reading and comparing against other coins, could it be ........½ Penny - Edward III 3rd coinage; London 1344-1351 ?

	  Edward I Penny, Sterling type; class 1a ?Citizen H replied to Citizen H's topic in British Hammered aha, I did see the CIVI TAS LON DON on the reverse, so another question, how do I date these? 1310- 1320 ? or is this a wide range of dates to consider that these coins would fit in? many thanks for the information its all new and confusing to take in, happy to just being able to get some right. many many thanks "H"

	  Edward I Penny, Sterling type; class 1a ?Citizen H replied to Citizen H's topic in British Hammered Many thanks, ....Are they both Edward 1 ? these still keep guessing, looking back I really should have looked at these 30 years ago when I started to pick these up....Doh!
- 
	I'm not educated enough to be reliable to state that these are... Edward I Sterling type; class 1a.... Edwards, Yes and Penny's, Yes.... beyond this I'd need clarification....please.
- 
	these came with bits of information many years ago, not sure how reliable this is information is though? Henry III, Penny, Long cross coinage Phase II (Provincial), Class 3b? 1249? Edward I Penny, Sterling type; class 1a 1279 ?

	James I, 1607-1609 Mint Coronet, the reverse looks like a double stamp? one shield overlaps the other at a different angle... is this a common occurrence? or complete lash up at the mint??
- 
	Elizabeth 1587, Mint Crescent , there's a crack that runs through both sides. the reverse side looks repaired, would this have been a mint repair?
