    Yes, I agree. I think the reason for it is simply due to the auction calendar being a bit quiet at the moment and hence there is a spate of material being offered. People have got to have their coins, and so the result is predictable...

    ROFL! I'm struggling to see what's means to be so interesting about such a coin as that!
  3. HistoryTreasures
    I don't know, they might fool me! Such nice copies

    I've neevr heard of the expression "To have a crush on Victorian coins" before, how quaint!!

    Hey Chris - there are some right *&*s on the bay, I know!..

    Is that perhaps because we don't all know that much about these rareties? How much of the share would you be willing to impart with someone anyway?

    Wondering how hard it is to distinguish the Edward I,II Pennies...

    The first coin seems to be Spink 1348A or Class 4a for the Pennies of Richard I. Obverse description: Chin + side whiskers made up of beads/pellets; hair is made of up of two or more non-parallel crescents left and right. Crown usually has seven pearls. There is a not as good example halfway down the page of this link http://www.hallshammeredcoins.com/?page=coins&offset=0&type=2

    Well I just can't make head nor tails of it personally. I think I'd prefer his but I'm basing it entirely on tone as per the picture.

    Hey financial value isn't everything!!

    Looks more like a Fosbury flop to me? Cool designs too!

    You've already put these in another thread Az, or am I suffering déjà vu? Or maybe it's Dave ja Vu

    I would assume that the 'H' is there or was once there and demand better photos! Krause gives $75.00 for one of these in Fine. A nice rarity! If you can find it..But can something be said for the art of filing down letters on coins?

    I think she is holding a baby...? And who's cat is that anyway? Duh what does the 'M' stand for? Is it Mad???

    Actually guys, this is a bit retarded because there are so many instances of this on eBay and you guys should find something better to do with your xmas time! Like stuff the turkey or wife or something...

    I just got in. 22:18 And the end of the world is nigh!

    Aye, doesn't react with the coin as do the plastic slips which leech oils slowly...
  18. HistoryTreasures
    WOT? WOT kind of English is that? By 'eck we have fun on this forum!
  19. HistoryTreasures
    Oh dear...still no hints on this? I am lost??
  20. HistoryTreasures
    It is fake but I think it was meant to be a Penny of James I but don't have my Spink on me...

    They were known as "easterlings", from which is derived the word "sterling" which is another term for our silver.

    Without seeing any pictures then its impossible to tell No. Go away or post photos! haha..

    They are always described as 50 pence coins!.. The seller clearly thinks you can apply modern values to the old coins - so anyone with a hoard of Cuni Crowns must have suddenly become extremely rich some time in the 90's when they changed the Crown's face-value from 25 pence to a fiver!
  25. HistoryTreasures
    No, the first two coins are not BUNC as they do not display the full mint lustre. They are very bright, but they do not have that glossy reflection that the ones placed on later do have. I would describe the farthings as EF-EF+
