Coinery

'Found it in my late grandads' What on earth was he doing looking in them? Sounds very messy!

Definitely Davies & Groom! Welcome aboard, Hazelman!

That sounds very intriguing, John! I'd go with what's been said above. If you do decide to go to a major auction, you could find some good deals on sellers' fees if the collection is interesting enough? Depending on what coins you have, and the condition, of course, various auctions could be suggested. Please don't clean or wipe ANY of them, thinking it'll make them look more appealing. Also, no bouncing them around...edge nicks and digs will loose you hundreds, maybe even thousands! Some pictures would be great!

Yay, sussed it! Only just realised I've been browsing in 'private' mode which, apparently, doesn't retain sign-in info. It's a button on the bottom of the browser screen which I'd inadvertently hit without realising!

I got myself all confused, I thought you'd actually bought this one!

Indeed! A very nice change from a copper farthing!

Sorryy, referring back to the nautilus!

That IS a fantastic penny, by the way...what's it for sale at?

Ptfffff! Fussy, that's what you are, TG, fussy! Is the farthing your's?

You could probably buy 3 really nice H3 pennies for some of those 'harder' Charles shillings, TG? C'mon, you need diversifying during these times of XII drought...give us some more Charles I coppers, and some hammered pennies...you can do it? ?

Brilliant! If you do journey into that pretty series, please share the journey here! I love those pennies...bloody 'ell, where do you draw the line? Someone should start a thread for each series of interest, rather than post a global title! So, 'Henry III Coinage,' get it started Damian! Oh, and the answer is YES!

Everson 96b good start!

Dozens of new mintmarks, have you got Tim's book?

Hang on one God damn shenanigans moment! What's going on here? Actually, this would be a neat little sideline to your C1 shilling collection? New metal, and a great resource already accompanying it! Where else can you snipe such lovely old coins for a pittance? Look at my last purchase (the first ebay bid in a year) 141530485871 [top 2 in particular] a Caro over IACO, a [VS] pellet within annulet, and the bottom two aren't to be sniffed at either...£51! Come on TG get involved! We could between us all beat out that resource I was talking about?

Ahem!

Interesting point, that!

A convenient shadow over wrl too!

Had it checked 'by a expert'! Really! 331450441275

Probably Spinks 'Coins of England' catalogue would get you out of trouble for most coin finds? It's an annual publication, so an older one could be picked up very cheaply! Do feel free to post your finds on here! Quite a few of the chaps are detectorists on here!

Hello, Debbie!

Why, many happy returns of the day! Take it easy out there old beans!

I collect decimal 'garbage'! The site owner also sells decimal garbage, and even produces/writes price guides on the subject. With some of the decimals selling upwards of a £1000 I don't think they can be overlooked. Also, we are not so far from seeing the first decimals reaching a half-century. I know your PEMEMBER coin didn't draw out too much interest, but keep bringing it on!

To be fair, even though I am not familiar with the series, it does look like a sideways Q.
