    What you have is an evasion halfpenny, like this
  2. Richard2
    Good points all three of you, I’ll get me coat
  3. Richard2
    Not a conclusion Rob just my initial thought. Probably is post mint damage , but why in exactly the same place. And I don’t think the other marks are jaw clamps as you suggest. Too small and not enough of them to be an effective clamp. What I might do is take a centre punch to another 50p and see if I can replicate the marks and the surface finish on the inside of the dents.

    I got these two 50p’s from the bank on different occasions last week and spotted the holes on Queenies chest. Looking more closely with a low powered microscope, they appear to be identical. They don’t look like a centre punch has been used ,but look more like they were done during the minting process. Has anyone else come across this or am I being too hopeful that it’s a genuine error

    Didn’t realise that Rob ,thanks
  6. Richard2
    Thanks again

    That’s good to know about the die polishing, I haven’t seen that before. Does that happen on hammered silvers of the period. Thanks

    I'm very interested in buying this Charles I unite ( not eBay), but first wanted your honest opinions on it. My only worry is the obverse side. Does it look ok? What are the lines running across it? What's it worth? many thanks Richard

    Craigy, what did the hammered turn out to be?
  10. Richard2
    One I'm very happy with as I found it myself metal detecting. I had to have it straightened by a jeweller as it was badly bent. few little scrapes on the reverse but I can live with that. Henry VI Half Noble, Annulet issue
  11. Richard2
    My mistake, £5700, well spotted Jerry
  12. Richard2
    I would say the Penny has been buried ,as ive have found similar looking surface corrosion on cartwheels whilst metal detecting.
  13. Richard2
    I see this actual coin sold on ebay the other week for £7500
  14. Richard2
    Your right Jerry, Spink 1025 is more like it,and higher priced. looks authentic to me ,but I'm no expert
  15. Richard2
    Hi John , Ive only just seen your post but I can tell you ,you have Viking coin of Anlaf Sihtricsson 941-944AD. They were mainly struck at York. Did the topsoil come from that area ? I think I would buy a couple more tonnes and sieve through it or get a metal detector. priced in Spink at £1850 in fine and £7500 in VF, I think yours would be nearer vf for that type

    Hi jelida, I've found this very good for voided long cross pennies http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/. Go to the referenced articles area to see very good info with quality pictures of voided long cross, as well as other coins, Edwardian farthings ,halfpennys and pennies
  17. Richard2
    Well done on finding your first hammered, you never forget your first one.
  18. Richard2
    thanks Rob
  19. Richard2
    Reverse
  20. Richard2
    Ok Sorry. how about these
  21. Richard2
    Other Side.
  22. Richard2
    Hi, I've found what I think is a Henry IV halfpenny but would like your opinions as to whether i'm correct or not. Weight is 8.74 grains or 0.564 grams and 14mm dia. Thanks Richard
  23. Richard2
    Using my book by Gerry Slevin on Short Cross Legends I would say its a short cross penny of Richard, class 2. Moneyer, RAUL ON LUND. London mint. hope this helps
  24. Richard2
    Thanks Paulus , and sorry Richard
  25. Richard2
    Thanks Tom, Did you notice the bungled spelling of CHRISTO on the reverse , would that have any effect on value?
