    I would highly encourage anyone who can to help Dave out with this book. I've seen some of his work on the Elizabeth I and Charles I already and would love to see the finished article.

    If you have access to North take a look at #2050. Listed as a penny struck in gold, silver, copper or tin. Same legend and date described as "may be a pattern groat or medalet". Perhaps Crowther's 1887 'A Guide to English Pattern Coins' might be able to shed some more light upon it.

    I will have access to my library tomorrow, I'll take a gander and post any results here.

    It is a silver pattern sixpence, mentioned in both Peck and North. Akin to the pledge penny. I don't have any of the literature with me as I'm currently travelling but I hope this helps somewhat.
  5. HistoricCoinage
    I don't think it had a separate mintage, just a 'marketing' ploy as it's merely different packaging.

    Does anybody have a 2007 baby set for sale or know where I might be able to acquire one? They seem to be pretty elusive.

    I have been drooling over this other story, too. Nice coins and an honest workman.

    Yep. CIVI TAS EBO RACI. But the quatrefoil in the centre of the cross is often an indication, too.
  10. HistoricCoinage
    Indeed. CIVI TAS DVR EME - minted less than a mile from where I'm typing this.

    The denomination can be deduced from the diameter of the coin. Although sometimes it is easy to work out stylistically. With regard to pictures, your best bet is in natural daylight and take plenty of pictures to increase your chances of getting a sharp one. Pre-Treaty is indeed 1351-1361. As for the legends, the outer legend on the reverse reads: POSVI DEVM ADIVTOREM MEVM which roughly translates to 'I have made God my helper'.

    It is indeed a halfgroat of Edward III. London mint. Better images would aid identification but it does not seem to have the wedge shaped tail, I would suggest series D of the Pre-Treaty Period. If you can get better photographs up we might be able to help you further. Good luck with your new collection!
  13. HistoricCoinage
    Definitely not Edward I. Clearer photos are needed to narrow it down but it is a York penny of Edward III.
  14. HistoricCoinage
    It's an Edward I penny of Durham mint. Hard to tell from the photographs but looks akin to a class 9b.

    "A first class all round service very pleased thank you,wonderful seller." Looks like it was genuine!

    Happy birthday!

    It was very quiet indeed - all the more coins for me! Was interesting travelling from Durham to York and then from York to the Lincolnshire fens and back, though. The snow has nearly melted here, now. I was in Manchester at the weekend and the sleet was horrific - I much prefer snow.

    Fox or Ruthall.

    You should have just asked me, Nicholas! No Spink trouble.

    With the wear on that particular part of the coin it is hard to see the curvature to the right of what is perceived as an 'I'. I have attached photographs of a clearer example: So it is likely meant to be T D of Henry VIII or DR by shield of Henry VII - but it certainly looks like DD.
  21. HistoricCoinage
    Do you have any larger pictures of the reverse?
  22. HistoricCoinage
    Very nice!!
  23. HistoricCoinage
    I have just published my latest list and it has a fair few milled coins so I thought that some of you gentlemen (and Debbie ) might be interested. If you are interested then please take a look here.
  24. HistoricCoinage
    True, but cut halves are worth considerably more than broken halves.
  25. HistoricCoinage
    Cracking photography!
