    Yep, you can see the right half of a crown there
  2. chrislamb
    I think you're right there, it looks to me like a crown mint mark what do you think?

    Hi, I found this coin a few weeks ago metal detecting. I'm pretty sure it's an Edward III Groat and obviously a Bristol mint but the date I think it would be is 1356 from the examples in Spink's coin book. Also I would like to know if this has any value. Thanks in advance. Chris And the reverse:

    Thanks Geordie do people really collect quaters??!! I wouldn't have thought they would be either interesting or valuable enough for someone to collect??!!
  5. chrislamb
    some type of token?

    Hi all, I found this at a metal detecting rally yesterday, but the closest I have come to id'ing it is a King John Irish penny, but that has a triangle of the reverse. Any ideas ?? Thanks Chris the obverse: The reverse:

    http://www.napoleonicmedals.org/coins/franl5-2.htm it looks like it was minted on the 24 october 1796, in Paris

    didn't realise that under un decime it was L'an 5 I thought it was L'ans; never realised that there was so much info on the coin!!!

    the key mint mark is 1530-44, star is 1514-26 Bishop tunstall was bishop of Durham 1530 mark CD was anytime after 1530.

    Thanks for all that, I will be giving it to my local Finds Liason Officer who will do a report on it. I will report back here once I get it back. Cheers Chris

    Don't think it's roman, could you post both sides of the coin (& larger!!) & perhaps put it in the English coins part.
  12. chrislamb
    Me too!!
  13. chrislamb
    In Spink it says the star mint mark is 1514-26, but also the CD beside the shield makes it the one you said but the dat it gives is 1530-, how can the mint mark date be different from the date given to shields with CD either side?
  14. chrislamb
    The coin is quite large at 3cm in diameter.

    Attached are images of a coin I found a while back, and would like you opinions on it.. Thanks Chris
  16. chrislamb
    Attached are images of a penny I found this week, I think it is a Henry VIII penny, but would like your opinion.
  17. chrislamb
    Yeah, you can use the images, I may have over cleaned but I dont mind & it's not particularily valuable, & I prefer them nice & shiny.
  18. chrislamb
    Thanks very much!!! thats exactly what it is!!
  19. chrislamb
    I found this coin while metal detecting, I could not make anything out so I got to work with a cleaning tool just to see if anything came out, & I was very suprised to see a war elephant on one side & possibly Britania riding a horse on the reverse!!! Does anyone have any ideas about this coin??? http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3228/elephantcoinjk7.jpg http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/2595/el...treversexv1.jpg

    Pretty coin. Congratulations. It is a Denary minted in the year 87 AD. with Palas in the reverse. RIC 102-C. Eduardo If you are interested in Roman coins have a look at my page: http://www.grifomultimedia.it/adg/monrom/Index.htm Thanks, you are welcome to use the image on your site if you want, as you don't have a denarius of Domitian. I have a higher resolution image as well.
  21. chrislamb
    I DIY'd it, with a fibreglass cleaning pen & lemon juice!!!
  22. chrislamb
    Just thought I'd show what cleaning does!!!

    I've got Spink's Coins of England, but was not sure if there was a way of dating them to a smaller period of time than the reign of the monarch.
  24. chrislamb
    Thanks Geordie, is there any way to date them?
  25. chrislamb
    I would love to know more about these 2 coins, ie dates, class etc. I would be very grateful. Also would it affect the value much if they were cleaned? I have been told that citric acid removes the tarnish, it is very strange that one side of the groat was really clean & shiney & the other was very dark, I would like to have both sides the same. Chris
