    The French title here will only apply to the gold issues, groats and halfgroats. The smaller denominations just don't have the space for a complete legend. As for online reference, not that I know of. A copy of North Volume II will help if you're seriously considering collecting late medieval hammered issues. Here is a reasonably-priced used copy.

    Depends on which countries and the years. But, I suspect, if they're from this era then there's not going to be too much value as they'll have most likely been picked from change.

    A quick look makes me think it's a Pre-Treaty Series E. Appears to have unbarred Ns and the obverse ends in II instead of LI. So this would be a variety of Spink 1586.
  4. HistoricCoinage
    The fact it weighs about double a genuine one and the reverse reads GRVNAL TANVATS (Grunal/(Dave Greenhalgh) operates out of Tanvats in the Lincolnshire Fens) should be enough!

    "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."

    I emailed the seller earlier today and I know of at least three others who have emailed. Will be interesting to see his course of action as I suspect this is a genuine mistake as I've had good experiences with him before. Perhaps someone planting his fields with them.

    It might very well be! I do not have the book and am far from an expert in Scottish issues.
  8. HistoricCoinage
    It looks to be William the Lion and most likely Walter Adam on Edinburgh.
  9. HistoricCoinage
    It's most likely an alteration made to the die and I've seen a fair few of these 'errors' on coins of Elizabeth, James and Charles I especially.
  10. HistoricCoinage
    Canada, I assume. See here.

    Thought i'd email the seller and ask how much he wanted for it (realisticly) and see what he comes back with, then i'll see how Trustworthy he is when i ask if its a copy The big give away (apart from the word copy and the WRL stamp...) is that the description is copied & pasted. The seller cannot speak/(type) English and so I wish you luck in getting a coherent reply.

    Very nice coins! I do like the dollars indeed. It seems pretty strong just before 'ENGLAND'.

    Another replica Elizabeth I misdescribed... I've informed the seller.
  14. HistoricCoinage
    I have a feeling most of us do that to those that deserve it. Anything odd in the bidding history? There's that one bidder who has placed 39 bids...
  15. HistoricCoinage
    I'll email the two of them and see.
  16. HistoricCoinage
    Will the acknowledgements be up to date?
  17. HistoricCoinage
    link Yep, Peter, think Garrett's referring to this ^
  18. HistoricCoinage
    ? Not you, Dave. The Dave in the link.
  19. HistoricCoinage
    Another replica Elizabeth...
  20. HistoricCoinage
    He sent a message saying he was unaware and removed the listing.
  21. HistoricCoinage
    Glad to hear! The one Coinery/Paulus linked is genuine, just a very clipped sixpence.
  22. HistoricCoinage
    Looks like one of Dave's.
  23. HistoricCoinage
    Turkey & Georgia?
  24. HistoricCoinage
    A romantic idea. The word severe comes from the Latin 'severus' which means strict or stern and pre-dates the Emperor's name.
  25. HistoricCoinage
    Also due to some confusion whether this is actually the first coin of Tutbury as at least one other has surfaced online in recent years.
