Here's the IMG tool.

Can you not just copy the 'Direct' link and then post it using the IMG icon. It'll then appear as such, with no annoying link.

Indeed. It's some form of commemorative Edward VII issue, most likely a medalet.

Aethelred II coin - "the reverse of coin has what looks like a shield to the centre with god save the king or god save our king there is more writing around it and maybe horses or lions to the sides" "was dug up when digging a trench near Gloucester where I believe the king visited I have had the suggestion this coin has something to do with the fact he married that year but who knows" It's amazing what happens when you're 900 years out...

One man on eBay was selling cabinets. He said it was a wooden construction and, naturally, I was curious. His reply to my query was "Stained beech ply and laser cut acrylic." Not one I'll be buying any time soon...

Azda might have some opinions!He's taken it off Perhaps he read our posts. Fear not, Dave, you can still win it here. Predecimal Advisory Service tooooo the rescue! We're happening! I'm guessing there'll be a bottle of wine in the post for us all? A vintage Nuits-Saint-Georges or a nice bottle of Arran single malt will suffice.

My lots arrived today, immaculately packaged. Impressive.

Sorry, Peter. Rob consigned them to me last week.

I just love the fact that the Calais mint seems to have been in operation for a couple hundred more years. There's legs for a BNJ article here. Who wants to let Ben know that he should write-up his findings?

Or, better yet, why not ask what ESC rarities Saxby's can offer you?

If that is what you have Nathan then the scrap value would be calculated as follows: Assumptions: All 12 coins are Sterling Silver (92.5%)Silver price as at 19/09/2013 is $23.11 per troy ounce£/$ rate as at 19/09/2013 is 1.603* Grams per Troy ounce = 31.1 Then the scrap value would be: 362.98g/31.1*23.11/1.603 = £168.26 But you should be able to get more on eBay if as you say they are immaculate with the documentation I hope that helps! That much? If 10 are 31.47g of .925 then that's about £107 scrap plus another £17 for the lighter two. I was assuming 363g @ .925 Same. Different spot prices and scrap merchants online. Various estimates range from £120 to £165. So somewhere around the £140 mark should be fair.

Your neck of the woods, Rob.

Not sure about that soldery-looking blob, either!Don't worry Stuart. It's been lovingly described as "The coin has not been cleaned and displays natural tone alover."

I should mention there are no bids on that auction, though. So it's not necessarily an accurate reflection of their price.

Would you believe it? Another Calais annulet issue of Henry VII?! This time from another of our friends. P.S. And a Henry V, also of Calais. Blimey. Forget DNW, CNG & Spink - eBay is the place for genuine rarities lately...

I believe that Nathan has these coins.

They're about 9.4/9.5 grams and were minted in London. Looks very much like it!

Perhaps a foreign coin made by the Royal Mint, they still produce about 15% of the world's currency coins. I've heard of cases of British coins being struck on foreign flans before, but I'm not sure I can help you here.

There are so many non-overdates being sold as overdates! Almost makes it look rarer to get a standard 77 or 78.

Azda might have some opinions! I hope Azda likes one of the most common Henry VI groats.

Is it debased?

The incredibly-rare Henry VII groat of Calais mint sold by a country cottage!! I never thought I'd see one of these in my lifetime.

Just got a phone call, my lots will be with me tomorrow. Very good service.
