    Who knows. But I could certainly part with a few pennies at that price!

    £132 for a Gloucester penny? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HENRY-III-HAMMERED-SILVER-LONG-CROSS-PENNY-COIN-1216-72-AD-/271166061491?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=bRJnZbDLLwaWhcuExkbHMMzGZjE%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

    I saw this and thought the same. Also, it appears that Edward was a fan of Twitter as it's got a lovely hashtag on the obverse, too. Shame.
  4. HistoricCoinage
    Do you mean specific in terms of the reading of the mint? If you mean in terms of class, then yes, unfortunately the photograph does make things difficult.
  5. HistoricCoinage
    Edward I, very hard to tell with the portrait but looks akin to a class 3 variant.
  6. HistoricCoinage
    Edward III - will need better images to narrow it down. Nice, clear reverse.
  7. HistoricCoinage
    It's an Edward I London penny. CIVI TAS LON DON - starting at 3 O'clock with the orientation of your image. Hope this helps.
  8. HistoricCoinage
    Well, it's hard to tell from the photos but I've seen similar examples that are definitely genuine. Sometimes it's just the debasement.
  9. HistoricCoinage
    What is the diameter of this piece? It looks more like an Edward I farthing - something like a class 10.
  10. HistoricCoinage
    Edward III, pre-treaty period, York Royal issue. Perhaps series E.
  11. HistoricCoinage
    It looks like an Edward IV halfpenny, perhaps of London. No marks by neck, possibly second reign.
  12. HistoricCoinage
    The visible obverse reads DNS HYB + As for the reverse, my guess would be Durham. CIVI TAS DVN ELM.
  13. HistoricCoinage
    A nice, historical find. Definitely something to keep as a souvenir of the past.

    Try a third party host such as www.tinypic.com or www.photobucket.com

    I spoke to Mick Aston recently about this and he was saddened. Whilst he left the show for other reasons he felt that Time Team was a crucial means of communicating archaeology to the public! With the latest hype over Richard III and Richard I in the media I'm sure there'll be another show soon.

    Well ... maybe. But personally I'd have thought (that in the UK/Europe at least) a coin will find it's value dependant on what it is and the condition. I'd be surprised if many (any?) members here would pay any more just because a coin is slabbed. Amen. I've often considered slabbing some high grade but fairly common hammered coins for the US market but I cannot see a slab in the UK adding a significant percentage to the value or sale price.

    I thoroughly enjoyed it. Whilst a little small compared to London or York it has a great, friendly atmosphere. Whilst I shan't be at the next one I do plan on attending in April.
  18. HistoricCoinage
    Spelling mistakes do appear from time to time.
  19. HistoricCoinage
    Easy mistake to make when there's no initial cross or i.m.
  20. HistoricCoinage
    Henri on London - "hen rio nlv nde".
  21. HistoricCoinage
    Henry VI Annulet issue halfpenny of Calais, by the look of it. But the reverse appears to read VIL LA CALI IS which is not a usual spelling. You can compare with this one.
  22. HistoricCoinage
    The portrait looks very reminiscent of Richard II's local dies of York.
  23. HistoricCoinage
    Stuart and I were talking about this the other day, nice dress but a horrible cleaning job. I'd pass.
  24. HistoricCoinage
    That 'we' refers to London Coins, I believe.
  25. HistoricCoinage
    But then, hypothetically, what would you do with any finds unearthed?
