Citizen H

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. 🙄

I put up the coins as I'm sifting through the hammered with my opinion of what it may be (still loads to learn), a coin expert was passing and got to chat and I just asked for a look and confirmation of what I thought it was... in blue was a reply .... so at least I can happily put this coin in the folder with albeit brief confirmation...👍☺️

the two coins are as follows..... 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.👍

This is an Edward I penny minted in London. This is identified by the obverse inscription EDWR’ANGL’DNS[HYB] 👍

This was found lurking in with some worn Hammered coins....... Silver 6 Pfennings 1734. Prince Louis Rudolph (Ludwig Rudolf) (1731-1735) Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) apparently quite a rarity 👍

oh dear.......🫣

Well.............! starting off it amazes me that I have accumulated such a diverse range of coins...... without really trying Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth coin from 1621...who would believed it Silver (.813) oh well its old and hammered so its staying with others ...... 🙄

Errrrrrrmmmm!?!?!? I still have all of these un sifted through.... any dates or rare one that I should looking out for? before handing over to a charity ..... Cheers "H"

Will do...🫡

OMG! 😲 I have just taken a look to see how much it many be worth....Blimey... it would have a been a pocket money purchase way back.... just goes to show you you. 👍

So....the best of the worse of the worn out Hammer coins.... I did have a look see through Spink and warmed towards the Edward I... so its a Longcross, City of London, Edward I .....Class 4a....? it looked very close possibility to me .... Any thoughts ?

wow. I did do a search and found a confusing mixture of information. once again many thanks for you time taken in answering my questions. cheers "H"

James I, 1603-25 Half Groats, now then.. for some reason I thought I already posted these.. i've had a good look to no avail !?!?! odd! any ways,.................. Ive found these that look like James I, Half Groats the mm. is Mullet 1611-12 all comments welcome, cheers "H"

A interesting find amongst my hoard, turns out to be a 1786 1 Écu - Louis XVI Silver (.917) by chance does anyone know the mint mark? quite a scarce coin, 👍again bought blindly without any knowledge 30 odd years ago....

Errrrrrrmmmm??!!?? I do seem to have an eclectic Collection / Hoard of foreign coins mixed in with British Hammered coins.. does the cross seem to be familiar? I thought it may be a French cross....? I try not to resolve in using Google search....however I can waste hours and end up with nothing, Google did suggest Russian...then when tried again its French Denier louis VI Im also wondering if its silver or copper, the tarnish is to good to clean... many thanks for any suggestions

A recent discovery that some of my florins... below the bust you can see the Die No, makes it that much more interesting for me. 👍

Whilst sorting through others I found these mixed in as well, worth showing today, Rose & XII value mm. y & tun ( several bust varieties ) any comments or information greatly welcome. all the very best "H"

another worthy show of one of todays historical finds...boot fair circa 1990's some of the letters / numbers look miss shaped, letter I A have merged would this been due to the die being used when milled? any views & comments always welcome. 👍

I think i've found another amongst the hammered ........... Medieval Spanish / Portuguese Type of thing....Doh

aha, very interesting to find errors wondering how many others are out there like this one? Many thanks for taking the time for helping out, all the very best "H"

From the pile of worn out hammered previously shown....... Ive spent a lot of time looking through them and have decided that most are to far gone.... 😔 this one has the most details remaining .......in take of breath, Edward II Farthing, longcross, Class 1a -3de ? on the reverse i make out SIS londrien,sis ?

Another coin collector had a Looking at this, the verdict........ "it looks like an Edward IV 1st Reign groat of the Light Coinage issue (1464-70). No marks at neck, mint mark crown on the obverse. London mint." 🎉 Happy Happy Happy!!!!
