    I agree with you, Rob. Collecting solely English hammered means that this catalogue gives me a headache. Without it being chronologically ordered I'm bombarded with stuff earlier and later than what I actually want.

    As Peter says, better pictures are needed.

    Here's a simple BBC quiz for you gents and Debbie.

    It's the same type of coin. Yours is Lyfinc on London. It appears to be the same coin as EMC 1997.0144:
  5. HistoricCoinage
    It is a penny of York and looks like a Henry V example in terms of style but I really cannot tell from these images, sorry.
  6. HistoricCoinage
    Is it just images that appear stretched?

    Try and access your display properties and check your resolution is selected as recommended/optimum/native. If that doesn't work then try going to Display and then Change Display Settings. It might reveal some options there. What model laptop and what graphics card do you have?

    It's an Elizabeth I Threepence dated 1562. I cannot distinguish the initial mark from your images but it cannot be a groat as they were not dated in this period and so the threepence is the only alternative. If you have a copy of Spink it's number 2565, if that helps.

    She's a model and an actress. Although her acting involves such things as Piranha 3D, so...

    As a note, it often seems to depend upon whether the eBay support staff can see exactly what you point out. Which is why it's easier with hammered coins, I suppose as the fakes tend to be a lot more noticeable with the likes of WRL and odd pewter-textures compared to some deceptively-good milled fakes.

    Found this one, it's a Spink 1100 - Aethelstan with building on the back and moneyer Adelbert (from York) written under it. Ah, I'm presuming an Ashmore?
  12. HistoricCoinage
    Unfortunately this is untrue. Any hammered coins that I report with good evidence before the last 24 hours of the auction are removed. I agree that this might be different with milled coins but many I have reported have also been removed.
  13. HistoricCoinage
    How old are we talking? I presume you're not talking about medieval pennies but Victorian/Georgian/Edwardian.
  14. HistoricCoinage
    I would expect so.
  15. HistoricCoinage
    London mint. Indeed.
  16. HistoricCoinage
    I'm intrigued about this, Chris: Anglo-Saxon 'ADELBERT' short cross not ID'd.
  17. HistoricCoinage
    It's a penny of Edward I, Class 1d.
  18. HistoricCoinage
    Now that's what I call eye appeal!

    Freemasonry has been around since late medieval times but its popularity really took off in the early 17th century. Most days I walk past a masonic hall but it became privately owned in the mid-20th century as the Masons were very much in decline. I understand that it is now seeing somewhat of a rise, but I cannot personally attest that.

    I really don't know my ancients but it looks similar to a Constans bronze, with the two victories holding wreaths on the reverse. See this coin, for example. If you could get some better photos the legends might be easier to decipher.
  21. HistoricCoinage
    No need to be rude, Derek.
  22. HistoricCoinage
    There'll be far more people in the auction room and with current trends it'll be interesting to see what it fetches.
  23. HistoricCoinage
    Which auction house, may I ask? Unfortunately I can think of many like that. But there's one in London that is particularly famous for that and then charges astronomical prices.
  24. HistoricCoinage
  25. HistoricCoinage
    Exactly. I wasn't suggesting an armed occupant, merely an occupied house with the possibility of a gun being within the confines of the walls. Even so, I do agree it seems overly-forceful.
