Yes I think you are right... Before I was thinking that this is not my first coin from a UK hoard , however they are not so recents ( 90s ) and so even there are papers dedicated they can't be in the system.

Thanks Rob , yes there is also here in Italy a similar procedure . However I was wondering why in this case it has been requested while for many others coins I bought ( in some cases also older and rarer ) not. Does it just depends by different auction policies or during the the last months it is changed something ?

Hi all At the last Timeline auction I won this lot https://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=4534&category=128220&lot=3720093 attracted in particular by his provenance . Anyway I see from the auction's website that it is has been requested the export license for this lot; do you know more or less how much time is requested to obtain it ? I bought dozens of time from UK auctions but this is the first time that happens to me , is it a consequence of Brexit ?? Thanks to all Matteo

Yes I made confusion ...Perfect !! Thanks a lot

Hi all, A frind of mine bought this shilling few days ago and asked me to help him to classify it correctly. Unfortunately I am away from home where I have all the books. Could you help me please , giving same references ? Thanks Matteo

very nice acquisition ! Congrats Stunning portrait and also a good provenance

Just arrived at home Genoa, Ducat, Pietro Campofregoso doge XXVI (1450-1458)

You could try with the plastic capsule for the 1 euro cent coin. They have a 16.5mm diameter. As example http://www.masterphil.it/products/506-capsule.aspx

Just received it

Hi all this is my last acquisition of the year , a new Edwardian Irish penny Unfortunatly I have only the seller's images , when I will have the coin in my hands I will post better photos. Even if the conservation is not very high I decided to buy it due to the fact that, in my opinion, this is a quite scarce variant of the common class 1b, without the dot before EDW ( Stewartby writes: "rarerly omitted" ) and with the gothic "N" in the reverse legend.

ops ... sorry , I didn't read carefully ...

Really nice Congrats

they seem to reproduces parts of the famous Bayeux Tapestry if you like medieval stuffs why don't you buy an original medieval coin ? just for et xample this nice penny today has been sold for 260 + BP £ at DNW. https://www.dnw.co.uk/auctions/catalogue/lot.php?auction_id=467&lot_id=243&backto=cabinet

did you consider the hypothesis of a contemporary forgery ? The style of letters seems quite good but the position of some of them looks anomalous ..

Genoa 5 soldi 1648 This coin was struck only in 1648.

This option is not possible considering that he wrote: " I was the highest bidder at 460 pounds just before the live auction bidding started "...

You can't find on the Galata Guide because It is Ed III. Sorry but at the moment I can't give you a more detailed id.

it is Saint Martin ( read : SANCTVS MARTINVS ) .... pope Martin has nothing to do with this coin

Congratulations for all your nice finds you're lucky to be allowed to do it ! This last denarius is really nice , if I am not wrong should be this http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear5/s6605.html#RIC_0629

never say never ....sometimes the burgain is behind the corner. anyway this is my dream english hammered coin : the famous Henry III gold penny... I gave a lecture on it

in my opinion 271£ for the coin above is in proportion more expensive than the first coin of this discussion ... that I don't think is too bad this one for example was sold by Spink in September 2014 for 450 + rights
