    Hello Paddy... unless already spotted historically I bought blindly any coins (way back pre computers day) that looked old enough to be a important find, I think the seller claimed it was Roman and I cant remember how much it was but knowing me it was under a £1, 30 odd years ago...... Paddy, many thanks for all of your time taken in dealing with my challenges. all the very best "H"

    again taking a guess at this, could it be Roman, Denarius coin, ..................? wondering is this is coin for the uk use? Vespasian? possible date? likely to be silver? many thanks "H"
  3. Citizen H
    still looking into this being confirmed.... could it be the mm. is a crown to date it...... 1468- 69 ? and there was also a second reign...... any ideas? many thanks as always "H"👍

    Thank you its been a great help, I seriously didn't think It would be possible to have any further information with just half a Penny, I will page these with all the information supplied, many Many thanks for all the time you have spent working with my challenges, its really appreciated. Kind rgds "H"

    1½ Pence - Victoria 1st portrait; Colonial issue found amongst the hoard,...... could this be a die fault or a lamination issue?
  7. Citizen H
    2 invaders found amongst the hoard of "H", although I did find the 1858 interesting to look at.....

    3 x short cross. 1 x long cross for me I would struggle if it was a whole penny.. what chance as halved penny. am I right to think I can make out Henry on the first 2 ? As always many...Many thanks for casting your eyes over them for me.

    Hello, errmmm it looks like 15mm ...Threepence?!? the spink is a bit sparse of images of the Elizabeth I coins.....that i have in the 2009 edition, I understand that this is quite a challenge and I really appreciate all the input and all of the time looking into these matters I raise, once again many thanks, 👍

    Its clean enough, with mine it would be a soak in warm soapy water, a gentle brush with a ultra soft tooth brush, rinse of any hand grime then rinse again in cold water, pat dry and see how things look, 👍

    Safe to say Elizabeth 1, 1567......mm. Coronet 👍 Penny.....? I did try to weigh it but the kitchen scales aren't sensitive enough to register anything this light.
  12. Citizen H
    ....Ah!?!?! so after another long time spent with Spink these could possible be Henry VII .......? (if so my first) the Crowns on both coins have what looks like a Single Arches Again It could be wrong on both counts but after trawling through the Edwards nothing seemed that it was a likely option. I think the 1st coin has been clipped the second may be a Half Penny........... any guidance would be great appreciated 👍
  13. Citizen H
    the reverse
  14. Citizen H
    Its been a day and a half.......this was a "Wow!" moment Have (amongst the hoard) have I found a full Groat? ok looking through Spink and....could it be .......Edward IV 1468-69 Groat? It would be the first! 👍
  15. Citizen H
    wow many thanks, this has been a great help...although it starts a new page of Foreign hammered coins that I have mixed in with the British Hammered coins. once again this has been a great educational help...all the very best "H"

    Hello, James welcome to the forum, I'm in the same boat and I have the challenge of Identifying all of my hammered coins, although its not that straight forward with Edwards and being rubbed out some remain un identified due to lack of detail....As for value and once identified compare prices on E-bay it will give you a general idea of what their price is, hope this helps "H"
  17. Citizen H
    I also wondered if on the reverse it the mm the remains of Lis...1558-60 ?
  18. Citizen H
    Groan......! errrrrmmm back to addressing the tub of hammered coins and chose to deal with this one as...it an Elizabeth I...how hard can it be? I did the spink section of the Elizabeth I and no images (2009 copy) of the Threehalfpence to compare, so...Its Elizabeth I, without rose & date.... any suggestions???
  19. Citizen H
    Another 2 shillings found...both in good enough condition to keep...worth a share. 👍 .......especially the 1745 LIMA
  20. Citizen H
    Awesome! it just looked to good to be true compared with the others (worn out) that I have..... many many Thanks "H"
  21. Citizen H
    1772 George III 3 pence, this one troubles me as its in quite a good condition and as most of mine are circulated .... it has me wondering if this one is correct? Any thought or input greatly welcome..... Cheers "H" 👍
  22. Citizen H
    Aha,.......yes! I tried this with 2 rubbed shillings, "Ting!" and then one of the rubbed shillings against the half crown and "Ting!" so... hopefully this concludes its not a alloy or base metal conundrum....a satisfying moment when this happened.... 👍
  23. Citizen H
    ah ok, I also need to mention the around the edge it reads DECVS . ET . TUTAMEN. ANNO. REGNI. OCTAVO, so hopefully this is also a plus.....
  24. Citizen H
    well...a quick look on Numista give the following information. Composition Silver (.925) Weight15.05 g (the kitchen scales reads 16 grms) Diameter 34 mm ( the one i have is 33mm, plastic ruler) Orientation Coin alignment ↑↓ (correct) so I still think its inconclusive as once said "The Opera is over until the fat lady sings....." 🤔I still think it needs further investigation....many thanks for the input👍
  25. Citizen H
    its showing as 16grms on the kitchen scales, also a pic of the reverse
