  1. It looks more like a Scottish Hardhead with the M on but yours does not have the usual lion, but a cross... It's certainly not English and I'd be inclined to go down the Continental route of French/Spanish/Portuguese, whereas the Cross motif strongly reminds me of the Crusader coins I often see: An intriguing coin... What is the diameter? Clive.
  2. It's either an Elizabeth I Halfgroat or Penny of the Second Issue with m.m. Cross Crosslet. I would be inclined to say Penny but it's hard to tell as many coins were clipped therefore altering the diameter. It is London mint, if you look around the shield, starting after the m.m., it reads CIVI TAS LON DON = City of London. A neat little coin! Kindest Regards, Clive.
  3. So it was YOU that outbid me! A very nice coin that intrigued me, hence my small bid. Great photos by the way! Clive.
  4. Good job you did....obviously a forgery,at such a low starting price Obviously!! Oh, how eBay amuses me...
  5. Can't believe I missed it! Oh well... I was so tempted by this but had to restrain myself!!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VERY-RARE-1966-SQUAR...1QQcmdZViewItem
  6. If it's truly Uncirculated then you might be able to get about £4 for it, but I wouldn't say that they're worth much more than £2. Clive.
  7. On closer inspection it looks like it might not be a letter at all, looks like someone had too much ale...
  8. I know what you mean. How on earth can we make a U-Turn on a dual-carriageway?!?Otherwise they're fine!
  9. The L in CIVI TAS LON DON is blundered so it looks like a D, it is not a D but an L. So this is a neat error where it appears to read CIVI TAS DON DON, I have an Edward I penny exactly the same.
  10. Any photos? Kindest Regards, Clive.
  11. It's York Mint, CIVI TAS EBO RACI. Looks like it's Spink 1690 with Quatrefoil on reverse and lis on breast. Kindest Regards, Clive.
  12. I wont be active for the next 14 days or so. Holidaying in Shropshire, chasing castles there and in Wales! Have a great time, do they often run away from you?
  13. There were no known female moneyers, I thought it looked like a T with a dash branching off the trunk, but... Richard II please do post any more hammereds that you have, Richard I and I would be interested to see what you have! Clive.
  14. Many thanks Colin!!
  15. Let me know if you need a proofreader!
  16. It's an odd coin, I don't think that it is Fvlke due to the position of the "L", that F also looks odd. A most intriguing coin! See photo:
  17. The value is imprinted onto the coin, but only in words.
  18. 'tis a tough one, I think it is of London mint, possibly King John but not sure about the moneyer as it's partially clipped. Kindest Regards, Clive.
  19. We could just have blank coins in different sizes!
  20. The crown wasn't featured on the reverse of Elizabeth I's Milled Coinage.
  21. Probably an antique washer!
  22. Nice example of a proof... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1819-silver-proof-ha...1QQcmdZViewItem
  23. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1806-King-George-III...1QQcmdZViewItem Am I missing something...?
  24. I'm surprised he didn't set a reserve on such a rare, quality coin!
