I was just amused by the 'fake' spelling of Withers. 😉

The 'Whithers' is a giveaway, too!

Thanks for your replies, everyone! I'll do some more digging. I would assume the Royal Australian Mint, judging by John's alias. -
No proof, sadly. It's from a collection formed in the '40s and '50s I'm working my way through.

I've come across what I believe to be a blank for a nickel brass threepence. It weighs 6.84 grams which fits, but I've never come across one before as I imagine they'd have been hard to smuggle out of the Mint. (I also wasn't expecting it to be circular as I'd never thought about how the geometric shape would've later been made!). Has anyone else come across something similar?

Me? Thank you! Been nearly two years but had a strong urge to check out my old haunts. Hope you're all doing well!

I'm finding it cheaper to buy from well known dealers than eBay or auction houses. How times have changed... 🤯

Wonderful example.

Wonderful finds and context!

Edward III penny of York - cross in quatrefoil
HistoricCoinage replied to JLS's topic in British Hammered
An interesting example! My thought is it's a continuation from the engraving of the die and not a deliberate element of the design, the portrait is definitely Edward III. I've seen similar ones before, e.g. the below. -
I've just uploaded a new list to my website should it be of interest to anyone here. Plenty of silver hammered coins and a smattering of milled. http://historiccoinage.com/newadditions.php

This was originally £1,999 when I posted, so looks like the decimal point has been corrected now.

Quality collection. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Metal-Detecting-Rare-Old-Collection-DAMAGED-7x-coins/113802988607?hash=item1a7f2fcc3f:g:RJcAAOSwED1dEofe

Enjoy the description on this beauty. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Anglo-Saxon-Silver-Coin/223492329770?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D57478%26meid%3Dffbbf304db1e444980f83cbdef708e53%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D163663592092%26itm%3D223492329770&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

True. Maybe it's the light and metal that makes it look porous then.
-
Looking for coins and...? 😥 One way to clean them.
-
It looks to be an imitation of a Henry VII halfgroat (depending on diameter). I'd not think it's contemporary, it looks somewhat soapy which makes me think it's been cast and deliberately 'aged' as I see this a lot with the Westair pieces people modify before listing on online auction sites.
-
Agreed. Likely a Pinecone-Mascle issue penny (most common after Annulet issue, I believe, and yours isn't an Annulet).

One of the best descriptions I've read in a while: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/coin-hammered-and-clipped-ultra-rare-collectable-tudor-princes-in-the-tower/323020174923?hash=item4b3580b64b:g:lMoAAOSwItJaV1kX

£400+?! Some flat spots and edge nibbles. Wow.

I use the 14mm Lighthouse capsules and just don't shake them too much.
