    Not a huge gap. Assuming it was made c.1710 and the coin weight appears to date from 1750s-1770s then it's not that far. However, it could conceivably be one of the English-made ones for the French issues but a trader has subsequently altered it to suit British coins.

    Another fake, 'passed down' from his 'great nan'.

    Extremely Fair? No, effectively flat. Ah. Makes much more sense!

    Originally listed as an Elizabeth I coin I informed him it was a fake Henry VIII. Still listed as genuine. Shame on them. The WRL kind of gives it away...

    Extremely Fair?

    There are some nice ones about, though! Just not always identified as such. I was the underbidder on this rarity.

    Buy the best you can afford.

    I must confess that I, too, have been hoarding. I'm really focusing on high quality material now and have picked up some top examples of Saxon pennies but there's not the constant stream there was a couple of years ago.

    There are a few antiques dealers at the Barbican in Plymouth and there are many coins there, but don't expect them to be reasonably priced.

    Yes I thought it would be comprehensive when I read Rob's post. 18 pages would be more than my autobiography. Is it still possible to download ? Many are online - here's the download link.

    Just found out it's closed. The Royal Mint no longer do tours and the exhibitions seem to mainly be at the Tower of London.

    The Royal Mint Museum is in Llantrisant.

    Everything sounds so much better in German.

    He also says he is not too sure of its age. Does anyone know when these were made? If so they could answer his question and point out it is a modern copy at the same time. Just a thought. He replied to my message and removed it. Amazing!

    Change of what - tabard? religion? wife? Change in degree of sanity, I'd assume.

    Henry VIII found in change...

    I've had hammered coins parcel taped to cards leaving horrible residue and fragile hammered coins put in padded envelopes loose. There are some people out there who lack common sense...

    It's free. A junior hacksaw did the trick.
  20. HistoricCoinage
    About £20.

    Ashmore coins described as Ashmore coins should not be complained about and forced to be removed as they are reproductions and labelled as such, although not explicitly but with the term 'Ashmore'. Perhaps Ashmore reproduction would be a better term.

    What is the mark on that museum replica, Does anyone know? I'm not sure. Whether it's an intentional mark or a fault made on the casting of them I do not know.
  23. HistoricCoinage
    Oh my. That just fills me with confidence...

    There are collectors who have an Ashmore collection, but I'm not one of them. However, I have heard of reproductions of Ashmores being sold. Some further reading is: Finn, P. April 2000: 'Ashmore Replicas - Revisited' Numismatic Circular, (London, Seaby). p. 50-54.

    Well, maybe three. But it's a contentious one that I know's been raised on here many-a-time.
