  1. gosh where do I begin worn out, I believe they are Edward Penny's ? I have tried but nothing found remotely similar or without any confidence of getting things correct......so.... any suggestions?
  2. I feel a bit more clued in with what's not British coins since being here, back in the days this was just considered like all the others and I beleved it was a groat...... and I didn't have the free time to be able to look into the coins. So Far........ it has a double headed Eagle and I can make out, MONE . NO . LVH on the reverse Cross on orb containing value 192 ? I found a similar coin that's a "Polker" and so could be possibly Polish? 10mm across if enough of the coin remains, any help (as always) greatly appreciated.
  3. awwwww welll I'm getting closer on somethings....... only one class out, and wrong moneyer.... please that at least the correct king.... the sceptre on the coin was a nice find for me, thank you for all your time and input, I'm actually documenting all the information and keeping this with each coin. many many thanks Its a real help. Cheers "H"
  4. I could have never made this out, "Canterbury moneyer Nicole on Cant" the letters are almost unrecognizable.....to me, many thanks for figuring this out for me. all the best "H"
  5. Henry III 1250 - 51 Penny Long Cross ( nice to see the sceptre and other details) could be class 4 ? now the reverse was a hard translation...... so this is a stab in the dark RIC ARD ONL VND "Richard of London" the moneyer ? *** Please let this be right*** 🙏
  6. Crikey, so many classes, (for me its steep learning curve..... still early days) I did carefully work through them all..... pleased to find out its earlier than Edward III 👍👍👍
  7. Wow, proving even with "Bits" (as I refer to them being) its possible to still identify a coin, impressed that it can even be dated, Marlet was used for the years 1560-61, The Bits I found at a Ascot boot fair, I seem to remember it was the 1990's and a golden Virginia tobacco tin with a mixture of the very old and 1950's I had the five Bits and in my open palm I asked How Much? "£1" many thanks, as I walked away I heard a comment that someone was say "you've been robbed!" now in 2025....do you think so??? Its been fantastic after all the years being able to (with the generous help) Identify the coins and understand how interesting these small pieces of history that we are custodians of....in time they will become part of someone else's collection......but not for some to yet. ........once again a big thank you for all of your time and input....I couldn't have gone this far with out the help....Rgds "H"
  8. I Spent hours with rodblunt.com, I was quite please with the information I managed to find, I didn't feel confidant enough to mention Edward III I did find this at the time whilst searching, so now just need confirmation that its the same Edward........, many thanks "H"
  9. Hi there, and Thank you, I did think threehalfpence although these are Diameter 19 mm......at its widest I measure it to be 12mm so this is why I thought Penny I also cant see a Rose beside the bust.... unless this is rubbed out, its been great having another person looking at things, and please do keep suggestions coming, many many thanks "H"
  10. Edwardian 1289-1291 Penny London Group 5 I really need opinions as Ive nothing to compare with this small, many thanks "H"
  11. Elizabeth 1, Penny, 1582-1600 2nd issue ? no date London. quite a bit missing, any additional information appreciated......
  12. Hello all, I'm working on figuring out what 3 small hammered coins are so far, Elizabeth 1 156_ its 12mm ish wide London I cant find anything that have the dates on them like the one I have, any input greatly appreciated......many thanks "H"
  13. Edward III Half Groat 1354-1355 could it be a Pre-treaty period ? Mint York Rarity index: 87 its in quite good condition as a guess its been used as jewellery rather than rubbed through circulation shame for the piercing but is a nice example.
  14. Charles 1 20 Pence Scotland 1637 - 1642 could it be that this is 3rd Coinage, 4th Issue ? nice Mint Mark, Lozenge = Oxford, its been mentioned to be rare? over to you, many thanks "H"
  15. for some reason the web page wouldn't allow the coin picture to load the right way up,.... on this occasion all seem well......
  16. Back with a sift through the collection / hoard of my Hammered coins This Identification is a real challenge when rubbed out, could it be a Short Cross, Penny, Otto of Ravensberg 1220-1244 ? or John 1199-1216 a better knowledge opinion appreciated,......... many thanks "H"
  17. 1887 ½ Crown - Victoria 2nd portrait Jubilee this is a better one I now have than before. I did pick up on the ridge on the edge, there's no bash to the outer edge I then took a closer look and the SOIT has another strike to the letter I & T.... is this a rarity ?
  18. are there any images of this to see? to be honest I didnt have a clue about this. cheers for the guidance 👍
  19. it was the days of boot fairs i miss, then the bloody computers...oh and now the phones apps one guy held me up kept barging in whilst I was having a look see...still I did get the manky's and they cleaned up nicely... all the best and good hunting. 👍
  20. 1887 Victorian Six Pence Victoria 2nd portrait; 1st reverse Jubilee Head.... Engraver: Joseph Edgar Boehm apparently some have a error 'R over V' in VICTORIA..... I read some where that this is referred to as the Withdrawn Type....anyone know of this? 2 out of my 3 seem to be in nice condition,....... 👍
