bmack Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 I have a PAXS penny where I've been trying to establish the mint and moneyer but struggling to interpret the lettering. If anybody with familiarity of this coin type can help, that would be great. Thanks in advance... 1 Quote
Ukstu Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) It's a cast replica. It's marked with the little heart shape to the left of the portrait which shows it to be a replica. That's why its mushy looking and lacks detail. Sorry http://trade.ancestors.co.uk/products/timeline/coins/saxon-norman-william-i-penny-2023-6 Edited November 14, 2017 by Ukstu Added 2 Quote

I just hope he didn't part with too much cash for it. I'd definitely be chasing a refund for it that's for sure. Edited November 14, 2017 by Ukstu Typo 1 Quote
bmack Posted November 14, 2017 Author Posted November 14, 2017 Thanks for the quick responses.......shame it's a replica, would have been a nice coin for collection otherwise. Fortunately was part of a 1000+ coin collection that was inherited, so no direct cost to myself, I suspect the original owner had believed it to be original as was listed as 'fine' £150, probably acquired at least 10 - 15 years ago, potentially several decades thou. 1 Quote

Fairly new to the market them replicas with the heart shape stamp. Last few years anyway. Quote

I'd be surprised if it wasn't 10 years at least, that's if my memory serves me correctly? I'm thinking of the Liz 3ds in particular, but I stand to be corrected. Time's a funny thing, it's what makes history so fascinating! 1 Quote
