Unfortunately, the conservation is quite poor however it could be the following one according to what I can read: Obv: L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IIII - laureate head right Rev: SECVRITAS PVBLICA - Securitas seated left, holding globe in right hand References: RIC 56

Perfect ! Thanks Stu .

Hi all After a period of abstinence from English coins (thanks to Brexit) I've finally found a nice penny to buy from a French dealer. Edward I , Penny from Bristol. I have just some doubts on the proper class, I would say 2b but I am not 100% sure...I hope you can help me

This is an interesting auction with some tokens I would like to bid on, but shipping costs are quite important ... I live around 180 Km far from Monaco, and pay 25 € seems to be quite unfair.

It seems to me to read Henric' ...

I think that it's just the result of a slight shift during the struck procedure, in fact also the ": F" have the same feature

I report this new publication about the Italian coins in the British Museum that maybe can be of your interest to. The Italian Coins in the British Museum - Volume 1: South Italy | Edizionidandrea

I am curious to see the catalog of the Tony Abramson Collection of Dark Age Coinage, do you know if the auction has been postponed?

Maybe a dealer who was offering on commissions

Thank you Paddy I guess you're right, I thought that price could be high too ... Even if it seems that the coins was sold (but they are a great dealer). In any case the date 1603 seems to be quite hard to find compared to the 1601 and 1602. I tried to see on the traditional online archives like acsearch or sixbid's archive and I found just an other 1603 quarter merk sold by DNW with two 1/8 merk 1062 in 2017.

Thanks you Rob ! You have been of great help, alone I would not have classified it. It is seems to be a scarce date https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vcoins.com/en/stores/sovereign_rarities/263/product/scotland_james_vi_1603_quarter_merk_extremely_rare_date/1095141/amp.aspx

The date should be 1603 or maybe 1605.

Hi all, Any help for this coin would be very appreciated, unfortunately I don't own any book on the subject. Thanks The material seems to be silver Weight: 1.54g Diameter: 20 mm

You know their market better than me so I guess you're right ... I think that probably today both coins could be sold to a higher amount due to the fact that the numismatic market has grown a lot during last years and even months.
