    To answer your question, many Pre-Treaty London pennies have an annulet in each quarter, in my experience. From a quick glance yours appears to be type D. Here are a couple of my examples that illustrate the annulets.

    I'm grateful their hammered section is poor.

    Tutbury is a known mint for Stephen, though, as is seen with Spink reference 1297. So not the first known.
  4. HistoricCoinage
    Might want to rethink your wording!
  5. HistoricCoinage
    Yep. I'm not happy about it at all. This will merely serve to encourage more shill bidding.

    Another new poster saying the same thing, but nothing in terms of content? As Peter said yesterday, if there is no spam then you are welcome. Precisely. I'm not sure which 'blog' is being referred to if this is a genuine post.

    Yes, pretty poor replicas, I'm afraid.
  9. HistoricCoinage
    Ah, I see!

    Unless I'm missing something, he died in New York, on Long Island.

    Does rare mean rare if it's used often on common pieces? Case in point.

    I'm waiting for my second instalment, I think it's in this lot.

    'Rare, good' Henry III penny... At least it's 'cheap'.

    I've now read the entirety of that thread over on CC. Some absurd comments being left about 'racists' and 'free speech'. As jaggy says, clearly a sensitive soul...

    Blimey! Even with a download speed approaching 100mbps that took a while!

    Yes, I meant that it'd be odd to use such a punch on Elizabeth's coins and, even if it were used, it would be a most unusual place for it as it doesn't fit in with the design and doesn't strike me as a 'countermark'. TimeLines told me that their 'coin experts' believed it to be a letter E. I'm still not convinced.
  17. HistoricCoinage
    Whilst odd to use such a punch of Edward posthumously it strikes me as more odd that it is used in such a location on the coin.

    absolutely sand where you thrown out black, in something infinity. I am as you say. not that is, not there in something. up the down sea.

    Same here! The sources/reference section at the end of each page is exceptionally useful and the articles are perfect for a general overview of a topic. Far from rubbish.

    I asked eBay to check the IP addresses of the five members. I woke up to the listing gone. Some form of natural order is restored.
  21. HistoricCoinage
    As for the countermark, it does appear rather odd. I'm still not convinced. I've requested larger images, but we'll see. As an aside, can someone else type timeline originals into Google.co.uk and let me know what the second suggestion is?

    Story time. Bidder 1: 33% activity with seller. Bidder 2: 100% activity with seller. Bidder 3: 33% activity with seller. Bidder 1 has their only other two bids with just one seller in the Clothing category. Bidder 3 has their only other two bids with, conveniently, just one seller in Baby Clothes. As for the other bidder, 100% activity with same seller but retracted as 'Entered Wrong Amount'. What's the bet the two sellers in the Clothing categories are Bidders 1 and 3?
  23. HistoricCoinage
    Stuart, the seller clearly knows what they're talking about. Her response to an innocent question by an 'unsuspecting' eBayer was as follows: "ive had this coin since my dad passed away in 1996 he was a collector ,,had it valued ,, its worth a lot more but I thought ide start auction low ,,its exact coin to ths one ,,,thanks for intrest ,,,ebay id 260642742187 " Great. So it's now a countermarked 'sixpence', too. Perfect.

    I was watching that with anticipation. I was not predicting it to jump to that price, though. I was hoping to add it to my First Issue groat, but I think I'll wait for a better example. Here's the groat:
  25. HistoricCoinage
    Another bidder has entered the foray. Shame they, too, have 100% bidding activity with the seller...
