Ukstu Posted Thursday at 02:08 PM Posted Thursday at 02:08 PM Spotted this on Ebay. It was in the sold listings. Its got the 1 3 5 crown and reversed N we see on Rhuddlan coins but i cannot match the reverse. It's probably a mistrike of some sort but interesting enough to keep a note of. 1 Quote
Coinery Posted Thursday at 02:44 PM Posted Thursday at 02:44 PM I’ll give you this much, you’re quite the detective. Your knowledge of these little details is very impressive. I do get the thrill, though, especially on those occasions where you’re seeking out (or waiting for) a complete example to finish the puzzle. Great stuff! 1 Quote
Ukstu Posted Thursday at 03:03 PM Author Posted Thursday at 03:03 PM I managed on Sunday to get a whole example of a half I've had for year's. Sweating now waiting for it to arrive 😆 1 Quote
jelida Posted Thursday at 05:18 PM Posted Thursday at 05:18 PM Good spot, and an absolute bargain penny. The half is probably Rhuddlan too, the reverse reads OND.ON for SIMOND.ON.RVLA. Found a nice cut half of SIMOND detecting years ago. Jerry 1 Quote
Ukstu Posted Thursday at 05:28 PM Author Posted Thursday at 05:28 PM Good eye Jerry. That didn't even register with me when i looked at it lol. I was reading the D as an E like a divvy. Stu. 1 Quote
Ukstu Posted Thursday at 06:08 PM Author Posted Thursday at 06:08 PM There has been a few halfs on ebay recently that are not listed as Rhuddlan. Sellers are just listing them as Short cross coins with incorrect class details because they are unaware of the mint. Keep an eye out. They seem to be listed as buy it now though so you've got to check regularly or they get snapped up by ppl in the know. Stu. 1 Quote
Coys55 Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago That's a very nice find Stu; I'm really annoyed to have missed that one. I used to check daily for Rhuddlans and picked up about 30, mostly halfs and quarters and one full Halli, but got fed up with the quality and asking prices. I'll definitely start checking again now.

Coys55 Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I think the half is Brand dies 2540; the offset halves of the O are quite distinctive. 1 Quote

That was one of the first things i noticed about it. The full one i bought just arrived today. The portrait is a bit scuffed but i can't complain as it was cheap. Looks like a match with my half. Slevin 1a5 / Brand 1050. Stu. 2 Quote
