heh ebay, line up a few lowish bids on multiple items, and a few decent bids on other stuff you would like, then win them all, there is plenty there, and lots slip under the radar.

scottish penny of Robert II

sometimes they get missed, too many people watch 1863 pennies methinks. a few varieties of other dates slip through the radar though

i got one with no break

if we are talking about conservation, why do people hate slabs? surly putting a coin in one of those protects it? as for repairs, i would rather see repairs to hammered or ancient pieces that have been damaged in the ground, and you have the bits for it. rather then hole plugging.

i have seen pictures of repaired coins that were found in fragments, looks pretty good, ancient stuff, this cost what £100? i wouldn't say many people would be doing repairs to stick 2 random cut halfs together, although repairing hammered if you know 100% its the correct parts would be nice. rest of greece will be rubble soon so yea

depends how you cook it how much fat you need

never seen one, do have a look at the dealers scrap though.

yup, the 2008 coat of arms (old design) one is rarer then the 1988.

probably cleans it for a reason though. looks better cleaned in that case

12 bids lol wtf

had a quick google of the dates, looks like 1936

why dont you contact him and ask him why polishes them all and tell him why he shouldn't

they said it was based on the size of the neck, not 100% but they know hammered

i didn't someone who knows about these sort of things did.

ok got all that, i can't find an example to compare it to, can only find trefoil ones. can find lots of pennies with marlet though.

my Henry IV, dunno what you can get from it, it is york also

can't see much wrong, just the photos.

not much silver either they were debased >.> only known die pairing? to make it exactly 1602? what makes it 1603 then?

I was using coins market values from 1999, this is a bit more expansive on hammered then the other books, also has actual size pictures so, put it on top of it, and there you go so yes it is a shilling. i did look at Irish issues in there, but there was nothing on this design, hence why i didn't see it. right so, Eliazabeth 1st shilling 24th may 1602- 24th march 1603? Can't find values for this issue either.

done some digging on this, and found out why i couldn't identify it properly if you read the Legends around the edge where it is visible, you will see clearly they are Tudor, however just where the clip is, there is ZAB, and the legend on the other side matches ORE (IVTORE) opposite that OSV (POSVI) and also the VM of DEVM:AD however the curious thing is here, the only central detail i can see is a shield BUT as you can see the shield is on the same side as ELIZABETH from what i know of this is it came with some other silvers, and by the bag it came in, they were dirty. i have no reason to believe this is modern, and that big massive chizel dent in the middle is perhaps a test of silver rom the time? however this doesn't explain what the thing that looks like a bird is as it doesnt look like part of the shield cross design.

i always do ending soonest. have looked at BINS newly listed never seen anything.

i would bit on them. just say when you put em there and i'm not saying making money on something is a problem, but there are a lot of BIN coins flooding up Ebay that are far over book price

it is slabbed, however if you look at the buy it nows on ebay, they want to make money, but they overcharge.

everything is legal tender, even the silver britannias
