    Yes , it's a Venetian coin called Soldino. I can't understand clearly under which doge was struck , maybe Michele Steno. You can find an interesting explanation about the circulation of venetian soldini in England on Richard Kelleher's book " A history of medieval coinage in England" at page 154.

    Hi all I've just discovered that for the 90th birthday of the queen the Royal Mint has struck a new sovereign ... I really like it and as gold coins collector I'd really like to buy one .. Do you know where I could find one at a cheaper price ? Thanks to all Matteo

    this is the first marengo ( from wikipedia ) . It was struck after the battle of marengo. The 20 lire were struck in Italy also before 1861 in the kingdom of Sardinia as they were struck in all the states that were part of the Latin monetaru union.

    Yes indeed ... I looked for one of them in high conservation and good price for a couple of years for my collection of marenghi ( how do you say in English ?) ...Now finally I find it ..
  8. Matteo95
    Yes, I agree ... The field of the countermark should be more or less , toned as the portrait ..

    France , Louis XVIII , 20 Francs 1815 , struck in London during the famous 100 days . unfortunatly I can't take better picture ..

    Remember also that ebay seller ( included professional ) have to pay a commission so usually their prices are a little bit higher.

    yes I Know , I saw the last aution but it wasn't my field .. I am saving money for the next auction that includes my preferite period of english coins ( Edward I and II ) . Auctions catalogues can be very usefull in certain cases but I have to say that are also quite expensive !! 25£ for a catalogue ! I mean in Italy the majority of numismatic house auctions send to you their catalogues for free ....

    Thanks azda for your reccomandation !! I know quite well that book because I bought it last year , Yes it's very easy to use , photos could be better but , considering the price it is very good . Personally my preferite book about english medieval coins is "English coins " by Lord Stewartby, I think it is more detailed and updated than others. Thanks ! yes it could be a hoard coin , there are no signs of circulation .

    a question from an italian student of economics : What do you think will happen to your national currency in case of leaving EU ? The last weeks one of my professor ( he is English ) told us that he thinks that probably at the end uk will remain in

    Thanks for your post.. Honestly I don't know ! What are the differences between 690.1 and 690.2 ?
  15. Matteo95
    great !! thank you !! I've found it on numista http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces16265.html just the weight is a little different
  16. Matteo95
    Hi all !! I ask your help for this coin that I can't id. I thought that could be an Indian coin but I didn't find anything of similar . the weight is : 17.8g and diameter is : 29mm. Thanks you in advance ! matteo
  17. Matteo95
    Amazing !! Thanks you for these spectacular images
  18. Matteo95
    I didn't understand your first message . I mean when I read it the first thing that I thought was : it happens and surely will happen also in future , this is one of the problems of a platform like ebay ; and well me too I would like to buy some coins but are too expensive for my wallet and so I have to go to others coins . P.S Rebember that there are also some softwares that makes the offer for you at the last second . Regards Matteo
  19. Matteo95
    and so ?
  20. Matteo95
    Hi Congrats for your acquisiton I really like it . I think that the monneyer is Swedman , the S and EDMA are quite clear , rare for this type of coins . Matteo
  21. Matteo95
    Hi Serge when you ask an id. You should write also the weights and diameters because there are coins like groats and halfgroats that are identical .... The n1 could be a Edward III groat of the Pre- Treaty period mint of York , Spink 1572 N2 is similar but mint of London ( in this condition I can't understand wich class ) N3 is probably an Edward III farthing , London mint , Spink 1562 and Finally N4 is an Edward I penny class 10cf 1 I think .
  22. Matteo95
    Thanks Paulus , Do you collect a coin for every king ?
  23. Matteo95
    Hi all !! I am very happy and proud to share you my new acquisiton . I've bought it today at a numismatic fair. It's a quite common ( but rare here in Italy ) Henry VII groat , class IIICi ( I used the Stewartby's work for the classification ) . What impressed me is the condition of this coin. Do you like it too ?
  24. Matteo95
    The North are excellent books .. a serious numismatist must have it on his library. I can reccomand also " English coins 1180 - 1551 " by Lord Stewartby that give you also a lot of interesting historical details. Then there are specific works that covers only a particular type of coins or a single mint , like the Robin Eaglen's books on the Bury St. Edmund mint or the SCBI 39 ( the J.J. North collection ) that is dedicated to the Edward I an II coinage
  25. Matteo95
    a question about the lot 46 : it was described as Stewartby 1b1 but , being the crosses of type 1 , shouldn't it be a rarer 1a ??
