    The reverse lis and lions sit distinctively high in their respective quarters…I did find this, which belongs to an anchor obverse. I guess we’ll have to wait and see!

    I’ll give you this much, you’re quite the detective. Your knowledge of these little details is very impressive. I do get the thrill, though, especially on those occasions where you’re seeking out (or waiting for) a complete example to finish the puzzle. Great stuff!

    Thanks, Stu, fingers crossed! It would end up being a freebie if it comes good…would end up being a previously unknown pairing, too, with the no-mark reverse! Though this is what makes me feel it probably isn’t. knowing my luck with trying to get hold of one of these, it will more likely end up being the crud from an old plug 😆

    Can’t be a rose, it’s the wrong bust…

    Is it or isn’t it? An online bid today in a bulk lot of 6 coins! Was a cheap enough buy to chance finding out. The only spanner in the works is what appears to be a no-mark reverse.

    I enjoyed the series Victoria, and you can’t get a better bit of Cate Blanchett than in her role as Elizabeth I. Also I thought The King was great, a series about the rise of Henry V

    Of course the fish tail could simply be damage? The lettering of the coin is pretty distinctive, however, so finding the monarch should be quite doable!

    The darker coin looks to have the Edward II crown of class 11 as imaged (and all credit to the amazing book Rob credited above for this). The other one is too time consuming for me to look into (I don’t have a lot of free time at the moment), though the serpentine/fish-tail S is probably a good launch pad for you to start from. Good luck 👍

    Yes, as Rob says, a farthing not a halfpenny. With the beaded inner-circle on both sides, as well as the Civitas legend, makes this class 28 onwards. The high crown, with that classic axe-like left fleur and, of course, the bust, plus the broken-topped angle-backed E, makes this most certainly a London Type 30 farthing of Edward II

    An empty clothes rack? Nothing suspicious about that in my wardrobe

    You won’t need weights for these, you’re bang on with the identification, a pair of Commonwealth (Oliver Cromwell) Halfgroats. I think they’re quite a simple series (very little in the way of varieties), with nothing to add beyond it being a very interesting period of our history.

    Poor Gary, but absolutely fantastic that you’re still around and working with the counterfeit coinage. Nice to hear from you.

    Manchester and Birmingham house prices will soon be the hot ticket, as the peripheries of the UK slowly slide into the sea!

    Just to clarify, as I realise my post may not have come over as it was meant to…I don’t remember shillings at all, but I kind of like the idea, as was said, for fun, if there were such a thing permitted in the commercial realms of politics Digging a hole here…sorry, Chris and Copper123, you may know where/how I made my mistake here (hopefully), sorry 🙏

    Did you see that canal one, recently? Unbelievable!

    OMGoodness! Not the first name on a party list I’m guessing? 😩

    Stunning stuff, absolutely love it 👏👏👏

    @seuk used to specialise in these, and had quite a collection I believe. If my memory serves me correctly, he either had, or was putting together, a book and/or website?

    I’m away this weekend, but great news that you can provide a weight…tbh measuring the dimensions of a coin with a plastic ruler is satisfactory enough for ID. In the early days I bought a fancy tool but, given the variable sizes for any given denomination, and that they are rarely round, the weight is generally sufficient, so it was never that useful. It may be useful with milled coinage, but rarely! Save your money and buy another coin instead!

    I hold Paddy’s position, too…there would only be a small number of academics willing to invest the time in this. There are definitely a few on here, though thankfully I’m not one of them, my head’s full enough already. Interesting read, and do keep going. Good luck!

    Cheers, Rob…wishing you, your family, and all those you’re caring for, a happy and prosperous 2026. We just need more people to be kind without motive, without any expected reward, then there’s a chance for us all. Stay safe and healthy, my good man 🙏🥂

    PS sorry about the rant, H, I love your enthusiasm, you’ve woken the forum up a bit…but PLEASE buy some scales, they cost pennies and halve the effort required in identifying your coins.
