£5 😲 That’s phenomenally good…can we see?
-
What IS the privy mark?

Blimey, Pete…considering the number of eyes that fall upon the eBay pennies, you certainly manage to winkle out your fair share of the gems!

Florins, Shillings and Misc .... on going sort out.
Coinery replied to Citizen H's topic in Free for all
It’s of course 1678 and not 73 - I think the Maundy money was first of the press, so generally the better pieces but, in practice, I believe there to be little/no difference as far as collectors of Maundy are concerned - they still of course aim for the very best pieces. I was looking at some completed items on eBay, a lot of them were holed.

My Halfpenny varieties site
Coinery replied to secret santa's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Well please can someone get in there and screenshot everything for a file at least? I don’t collect halfpennies myself but can appreciate the tragedy should it fall foul. -
@Rob saw this and thought of you!
-
You’re having a good root around the forum…as educational as any book on coins for sure!
-
A respectable example it’s true, but a significant ‘grade’ below the OP coin, though £400+ was an eye-watering sum.

I was thinking to replace this one, but clearly not this time around!
-
How much for its heritage, a coin from the Knaresborough Priory hoard of 1805?
-
I wonder how strong the correlation is between literature, identifiable collectibility, and subsequent auction prices/popularity? There’s a clear connection here in the Blunt web resource and the Galata guide, bringing the numismatically interesting sub-classes of the type to the common man, which ultimately pricks the collection mentality of the coin collector. Doesn’t change the fact I’m once again behind the times!

I noticed this around 2 years ago, the upward climb of the better Edward’s. Every auction nowadays they seem to fetch a little more. I went at this one as an upgrade, thinking £250 inc. premiums would get me close? The sum of £412 truly staggered me if I’m honest! It’s a nice coin, of course, but rather annoying that I’ve missed the boat by a couple of years, much as I ultimately have done with Elizabeth.
-
Yes, I believe they claimed the other two ‘benefits’ existed long before we ever had to pay for them!
-
Will put an eventual end to those selling items between £5-£10 then I guess? Thanks for highlighting
-
Well, it’s here…eBay’s new buyers’ premium, but wrapped up as Buyer Protection, now applied to all private sales! HOWEVER, what used to be the old 10% commission, is now 22% by my maths! Plus they keep hold of the sellers share of the pie for quite a long while, now!
-
Thanks, Paddy, no worries Nice sixpence, and on the money with your classification.
-
I just open the album to see if I have one or not?
-
I’m beginning to take an interest in James I coinage…are there any core texts outside of the BNJ, North, ‘Spink’ etc.? I was disappointingly underbidder on this eBay shilling recently, thinking £350 was a strong enough snipe
-
Just out of interest, is it a single known example?
-
FYI there are a few toy coins coming up for sale in The Coinery auction 16th February.

Hi Paddy, sorry I missed this one! Well from a quick look it’s a Calais legend (Villa Calis) to the reverse and an annulet issue so screaming Henry VI annulet issue halfpenny, and a likely mule? Is it still of enough interest to you for me to dig deeper?
-
Thanks, Jerry. As is said @Circulation penny collecto, Guy and I are not quite the same…by quite a large sum I should imagine?
-
Well that’s some claim CPC and phenomenal to have you on here and in touch with us all! Wow, without being overbearingly starstruck, that’s quite something, and great news to hear these Great British coins are still gracing a UK collection. 🙏

Could’ve been given to a lover named Anna by a gentleman with the surname Jack? My grandmother was Evelyn Jack, so not her
