    It's an example of why you don't rely on eBay's 'quick sell' listing form...

    Henry Penny cabinet.
  3. HistoricCoinage
    Thankfully, otherwise I'd expect the case to come fully furnished with some lovely Saxon pennies.

    When I view the page it doesn't say that 105 have been sold at that price. It merely says that 105 have been sold with that listing, at whatever price he had them listed as earlier.
  5. HistoricCoinage
    £425 and £600 respectively.

    It's not a flaw. I've just spoken to some techies at eBay and they say that this is the seller's chosen price. They've even tried to revise the listings with their admin account and the exorbitant price has been set by the seller, presumably they've run out of stock but didn't want to end the listing and then pay fees to relist again later, or some other reason.

    Bargain!

    But what if melted abroad, like this guy shows?

    I might get myself some of those coin zippy-bags... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Edward-111-3rd-Medieval-Hammered-half-Penny-/231135805639?pt=UK_Coins_BritishHammered_RL&hash=item35d0c480c7

    It's likely to be collectors of copper & bronze, I'd imagine, rather than just farthing collectors.
  11. HistoricCoinage
    I agree with Stuart. It's an 1819 halfcrown forgery.
  12. HistoricCoinage
    It's a shame his "excellent collation" doesn't include to collation of decent information.
  13. HistoricCoinage
    You're in luck then, Richard. "Genuine offers from serious collectors always welcomed"
  14. HistoricCoinage
    Same here, it's rather tedious.
  15. HistoricCoinage
    Happy birthday, chaps!
  16. HistoricCoinage
    Agree on both counts.

    I use cheques very frequently. I write at least a couple each month whether it be for coins or large payments. I doubt they'll be made redundant any time soon due to this news.
  18. HistoricCoinage
    Precisely.
  19. HistoricCoinage
    Not sure I'm entirely smitten, but here are the new designs for the coming year.

    As I said earlier, such a thing might have been paid for in terms of raw silver - either as ingots, hacksilver or coin - alternatively there are other commodities to be used for payment/trade. If the sale of a farm did not involve any coin then I'm doubtful that a longboat would have been much different.

    I admire their audacity! Nearly as much as that of the early medieval counterfeiters, where I'm sure punishments were somewhat more severe.
  22. HistoricCoinage
    What about this groat? I couldn't resist when I saw it - a 'rose' crudely engraved on it, for a coinage where there wasn't even a sixpence let alone a 'rosed' one.
  23. HistoricCoinage
    It's most likely an Edward III Fourth Coinage Post-Treaty penny of York, ecclesiastical mint. Cross before CIVI, often found with a lis on breast, e.g. Spink reference 1649.
  24. HistoricCoinage
    Indeed. That's what I was getting at as a part of a more complex economy - moving slightly further away from barter to a centralised control that, let's not forget, could be more easily taxed and controlled by the monarch and his government.
  25. HistoricCoinage
    I've always favoured a slightly more religious meaning. I've got a few gilded 'Pilgrim pence' of Elizabeth and here's one of my Philip & Mary pieces with a cross engraved on it.
