    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... 🤯
  3. HistoricCoinage
    Wonderful example.
  4. HistoricCoinage
    Wonderful finds and context!
  5. HistoricCoinage
    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.

    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.
  10. HistoricCoinage
    Looking for coins and...? 😥 One way to clean them.
  11. HistoricCoinage
    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.
  12. HistoricCoinage
    Agreed. Likely a Pinecone-Mascle issue penny (most common after Annulet issue, I believe, and yours isn't an Annulet).

    A better Tealby than most! Nice find.

    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
  17. HistoricCoinage
    £400+?! Some flat spots and edge nibbles. Wow.
  18. HistoricCoinage
    I use the 14mm Lighthouse capsules and just don't shake them too much.
  19. HistoricCoinage
    Gutted I'll miss it this time around.
  20. HistoricCoinage
    Ah. Mr Thomas/Michael Millard/Hibbs... Have a look here where Tony describes him as ‘An Alleged Miscreant of the 21st Century’ and I can think of at least another dozen places he's listed including Robert Matthew's site here.
  21. HistoricCoinage
    Very fishy looking... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alfred-the-Great-Silver-Penny-880-899/253326991589?hash=item3afb7720e5:g:AnMAAOSwTm9aPp73

    I'm a huge fan of this series, along with Henry III and Edward the Confessor. Here are some of my 1s. A repaired 1a, a stunning 1b and a 1c & 1d.
  23. HistoricCoinage
    Nicole on Canterbury. Class 3c.
  24. HistoricCoinage
    Nice find!
  25. HistoricCoinage
    Welcome, Dave! Long time, no see.
