Matteo95 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Hi all !!I'm sorry for this strange question ! I need your help because I don't understand a word written on a ticket that it was given to me with the coin . It is the word followed by the question mark .Thanks Matteo Quote
SWANNY Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 What was the coin , that may help..... Quote
Rob Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Could be Lion and Lis. That is usually found on Class 13, 14 & 15 though at Durham. A picture of the coin would help. Quote
Paulus Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Edward II penny I expect, I think the word before the ? is 'lis'? Quote
Matteo95 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 The coin is a Edward II penny struck in Bury St Edmund class 11b1 from Robin J. Eaglen collection ( lot 641 from last September DNW auction ) ... When I return home I 'll post a photo ... Quote
Matteo95 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 P.s the coin is from the Ednam hoard .. Quote
Nutsaboutcoins Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Looks like "New & Lis?" to me, but sorry not sure what that would mean. Quote
Matteo95 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks to all ... New dies is probably the most sensible but in effect for the last eord I read "lis" ... I post the photos as request Quote
Rob Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 New dies it is. Not helped by the dotted e! 1 Quote
Matteo95 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 Nice BSE Eddie.Ticks the boxes for me.Do you hate me ? :) Thanks I understand your first sentence but your second not ... I think it has a particular meaning because literally translated I can't understand has nonsense in this contest. Yeah I know ... You have to be patient with me ... Quote
Paulus Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Matteo I think you have a lot to bring to this forum, don't worry about English being your (presumably) 2nd language!Peter can be very cryptic, but in this case 'ticks all the boxes' is a common English phrase. It means that all the criteria you are looking for in a coin are met (boxes ticked). e.g. grade, eye appeal, balance, mm, mint, moneyer, rarity, price, etc, etc Edited November 16, 2015 by Paulus 1 Quote
Peter Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 MattI was born in Bury and still only live 8 miles away.It is my home town.I love BSE coins.You have a fantastic coin.If you can tick all the boxes your coins will be great. 1 Quote
