  1. Looks like a Venetian soldino, but 6mm too large...
  2. It's of Henry VIII's First Coinage and so dates between 1509-26. A picture of the other side would help determine grade and, thus, value.
  3. For any hammered aficionados out there, I've just released my Spring List. Plenty of Saxon rarities: http://historiccoinage.com/newadditions.php?id=4
  4. Very nice addition, Matteo!!
  5. It's definitely a coin. Looks to be something like a Portuguese sixty reis coin from the 18th century. What is its diameter?
  6. Beautiful pieces!
  7. If you can post images someone here might be able to help.
  8. We had copper alloy issues in the Northumbrian kingdom (not the most beautiful of coinages...), but otherwise Colin is right in that we don't see any real copper until James I.
  9. I'd gladly put money on it being a modern replica.
  10. I use the Lighthouse/Leuchtturm and find them perfect for my needs.
  11. Have a look here, Descartes.
  12. 'Good clear markings' being WRL, I assume? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Henry-VIII-Groat-/322017132600?
  13. Nice coins, Richard. Here's the link for all those interested: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/metal555head/m.html?item=151475029300&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
  14. I'd also like to share Robert Page's site - it's definitely worth bookmarking: http://www.henry3.com/
  15. I really love these milled issues. They look so good in hand that they almost look fake... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Extremely-fine-1st-milled-issue-1562-sixpence-Elizabeth-1st-coin-/141890217073?hash=item210950e471:g:4NYAAOSwvUlWq1cp
  16. Elizabeth I Shilling, looks to be initial mark Escallop making this the Sixth Issue coinage and minted 1584-1586. Nice find, and not often pierced for secondary use in this period.
  17. I've got hundreds spare here: http://historiccoinage.com/images/Coin%20Catalogues.xlsx Let me know if any (or all!) are of interest.
  18. I have a Victorian cabinet that I bought from Malcolm Ellis years ago and a Nichols 'Crozier' I got at an auction. They're both fantastic and I combine them with capsules - great way to store them if you've got a large space in a bank vault.
  19. The Agnus Dei penny is exceptionally rare but the imagery itself isn't all too scarce for this period. Here's an image I took, the motif is all the more enchanting in-hand. One example I've drawn comparisons with is the early 11th century Brussels Cross.
  20. Indeed. Beautiful coins.
  21. Look forward to seeing some larger, clear images soon. Welcome to the forum.
  22. Please do let us know as I'm sure Jens Christian Moesgaard will be able to help.
