After many comparisons done to convince myself, I believe now that your analysis is correct and that we share a coin from the same reverse die. Many thanks Peckris 2 for responding and taking the time to share your thoughtful and thorough analysis. From South Florida USA to SW England...it is much appreciated!

Does your coin exhibit the closed 'H' in 'FARTHING' as well?

Thanks Peckris 2 for responding. It would seem that if your example exhibits the 'closed H' in 'FARTHING' then the dies are likely the same. In addition, my example contains a bifurcated inner circle above the 'I' in 'FARTHING' (see image below). Should this feature also appear on your example, it would appear the dies are identical, except that my example is in a somewhat later state. Of course this analysis may prove incorrect, and I may be obliged to go back to square one and start again... The lower part of the bifurcated inner circle eventually terminates in the field.

Is the subject coin imaged below which appears to exhibit a 3 obverse & a B reverse a known variety or sub-variety? The red arrows on the obverse point to areas that exhibit clashing. The arrows at the right show the clash from the reverse of the shield, and Union Jack emblem on it. The clash at the left arrow shows a raised curved line from an unknown source on the reverse. The image of the reverse is shown for completeness. Additional magnified images from the reverse are as follow: The first magnified image shows the upper ‘inside’ loop of the ‘F’ closed by a die chip. A second die chip is shown below and to the right of upper serif of the ‘F’. The ‘A’ appears doubled at the outside left of the slanted stroke on the left. The second magnified image indicates a notch at the outside lower right of the ‘R’ which may indicate doubling of that letter. The third magnified image shows notches at the upper left serif of the ‘T’ along with doubling at the bottom of that letter. The image also shows doubling at the top and bottom of the ‘H’. In addition the ‘H’ is ‘closed’ at top and bottom, as the serifs of the top right & top left and those of the bottom right & bottom left are in contact. The forth magnified image indicates that both the ‘1’ & ‘8’ are triply entered and the ‘6’ is doubly entered. The fifth magnified image seems to indicate that the date may be of the 'wide type' as both the '1' is far from the '8' and the '2' is far from '6'. All thoughts welcome.

Thanks to Rob & JLS. It appears I have a new die pairing and thus a new die variety of RIC 519 with 'C' below the Altar.

I tried to find other images that matched but the RIC519 was closest I could find. Below are Images I found online: Wildwinds image-RIC 519 Roman Coin Database image-

The coin below appears to be of Nero. I am unable to attribute it fully. Possibly dupondius 519 but the "C" of 'SC' does not match as it is too far right and 'low'. The image does not reflect the true color in hand. Trust someone may be able to help. 13.08 gr. ~28mm' brass IMP NERO CAESAR AVG P MAX TR PPP SECVRITAS AVGVSTI dark brown with yellowish devices

Just a quick thank you in this Free for All Forum. I have also responded to your reply in the World Coin Forum. Best regards, SRSNUM

Many thanks JLS for responding and finally attributing this silver coin in my collection. It has dodged my best efforts at identifying it. My weakness in identifying medieval coinage is on display as is my weakness in the area of Arabic related coinage. Your supplying a reference work is most helpful too. Thanks again. I still have hope that the copper coin may also be attributed. Perhaps another expert in this forum may have the knowledge. Kindest regards, SRSNUM

i HAVE TWO FOREIGN COINS IN MY COLLECTION THAT HAVE RESISTED MY ATTEMPTS AT ATTRIBUTION. ANY INFORMATION OR COMMENTS ABOUT THEM APPRECIATED. SILVER COIN-DIAMETER 14 mm, WEIGHT 0.35 GRAMS. APPEARS EMBOSSED-RELIEF ON ONE SIDE, INCUSED ON THE BACK. COPPER COIN-DIAMETER 22 mm, WEIGHT 16.32 GRAMS, THICKNESS ~5.0 mm. APPEARS TO HAVE A HORSE WITH BIRD ON IT'S BACK ON ONE SIDE AND ARABIC WRITING ON THE BACK. PLEASE SEE DIGITAL IMAGES BELOW. SRSNUM

Need help with the attribution of the coin pictured in the digital images below. The reverse of the coin appears to be incused images of the obverse (embossed?). The coin appears to be 14mm in diameter and weighs 0.35 grams. Any ideas or comments are most appreciated. SRSNUM

Many thanks to Coinery and Colin G. for their clarifying comments.

In the previous post, several digital images of the obverse of the 1860 farthing in my collection were shown. Below is a duplicate of the "F:D:" image from the previous post. Is this image an example of the colon after "F:D"with the designation of 1 1/2 (1.5) stops? The following cropped image is taken from the aboutfarthings site of the 1860 farthing. It is designated obverse 3 and is from the same area for comparison. Is this a full colon (2 stops)? The following cropped image of an 1860 farthing is taken from the aboutfarthings site and is designated obverse 3a. Is this colon an example with designation 1 stop? Comments much appreciated. srsnum

The last two images are from the aboutfarthings website. The balance of the images are the coin in my collection. Trust this makes my description clearer.

Trust the following is a better image of the 3b reverse of the 1860 farthing.
