[Unusual Charles I Halfcrown]

Thanks for the response Rob and the Noonan's/North Yorkshire Moors collection reference.  They had some fantastic pieces in their 20 January 2020 auction.  Their Lot 899 (Bull 292b/23) just being one of many different coins.

Recently bought as S.2775.

I have as S.2773, Bull 292b/23.

Bull comments Rev "Colons, most unusual".  Are there many about?

Don't see many half-crowns mentioned so thought I'd post this rare Charles I one, recently won on ebay.  Bull 482 / 30

What do you reckon to this folks, repair gone adrift?

[Penny Acquisition of the week]

Loads of double sided TWO PENCE coins produced using this very clever method for a few pounds.  Loads of 1967 (etc) Pennies available for a skilled craftsman to work the majic on.

Thanks Ian.

I'm not finding it Pete, is it up for sale (where?)?

I notice B fault in BRITANNIAR but not in all No Incuse curl examples?

Worn? clear date only, dear boy, clear date only.

Anyway, I thought I would make a few points about the 1806 no incuse curl pennies. Peck was of the opinion that they are roughly in a 1:5 ratio as opposed to incuse curl examples. But I'm inclined to think it's more like 1:10 in view of the difficulty I've encountered obtaining one. Not especially easy getting a mid grade specimen, but the higher grades are difficult. 

Finally got this one from a dealer, and noticed it had previously sold at the June 2021 LCA for just £70. He made a fair mark up on it, as you would quite reasonably expect, but it is one of the better ones I've seen, being toned GEF with no issues.

 

        

 

[Charles I halfcrown, North 2205, obv. reads "HIBE"]

Can't see any specific HIBE ref in M.G's volume 1 but notice many (perhaps all?) of M.B's Plume mm's are N.2205, S.2769 with a Hawkins 2a ref.  Could the two 2a refs on the ticket be more specific Hawkins refs?  Confess to not having Hawkins knowledge at all.

May well be Michael! Thanks.

[Charles I Triangle Mm]

Charles I Hammered Silver Halfcrown Mm Triangle F currently on eBay. I'm aware of Triangle Mm variants (chipped, in a circle etc) but don't know of a "Triangle F".  Have asked the seller but no reply as yet. I have little knowledge of Halfcrowns, can anyone enlighten me please?

I have just worked through my penny websites adding a "return to top of page" function at the bottom of every page to save users scrolling all the way back to the top to get to the menu.

Pleased to note updates to 1898 Penny. Are there anymore updates in the pipeline?

Was this resolved or moved on any further?

Haven't seen many high grade F148's Mike, but a fair number of really low grade ones.

I have this at AUnc/GEF?  Would welcome opinions please.

[Penny Acquisition of the week]

Richard, Certainly. Do you need the other side?

Thanks for your input gents.
