Chris Perkins Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 I got these coins recently as part of 2 lots of mostly milled. The more recent hammered are fairly easy to identify, but for the older ones I've had to rely on the tickets they had with them! Perhaps you people can help me confirm the correct identity of the following coins. Also, if anyone would like to buy one, let me know.The first is an Elizabeth I shilling, mint mark bell, Spink 2577, agreed? A good quality coin. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Next is a Charles I shilling, mint mark triangle, Spink 2797? There are a couple with triangle mint marks, is this correct? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Another Charles I shilling. I couldn't find one in Spink that seemed to match this one. It appears to have a harp mint mark. Some flan damage, but it's still strong. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Further back now. This is clearly a groat with annulet (circle) mint mark. EDWARD DI GRA and it's certainly a London coin. But which Edward/Monarch? I couldn't find one with annulet mint mark! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Going on the ticket that was included on this coin it is an 'Edward II Class 11b penny of London. Broken left spear head, e with angular back'. Is this correct? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Again, going on the ticket included, this one is an 'Edward I Class 3c Penny of London. Early S, drapery in one piece, hollowed at centre'. Correct attribution? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 A cut half penny. According to the ticket: 'Henry III Voided long cross Class IIIb of York. h(ENRICVS) REX.III. TOM(AS ON EV)ERW'. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Last one. According to the ticket: 'John Class 5b cut halfpenny of London. h(ENRICV(S REX). +ILG(ER ON L)VN. Quote
Rob Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Further back now. This is clearly a groat with annulet (circle) mint mark. EDWARD DI GRA and it's certainly a London coin. But which Edward/Monarch? I couldn't find one with annulet mint mark!Edward IV second reign Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Further back now. This is clearly a groat with annulet (circle) mint mark. EDWARD DI GRA and it's certainly a London coin. But which Edward/Monarch? I couldn't find one with annulet mint mark!Edward IV second reignI settled on Ed IV in the end I think. Spink no.? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 8, 2009 Author Posted July 8, 2009 Just bumping this on the off chance that someone here with hammered knowledge might see it! Quote
TomGoodheart Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Just bumping this on the off chance that someone here with hammered knowledge might see it!Gosh! Have I been gone that long?! OK. If you by any chance are still interested ..! ... First Chas shilling is Spink 2799, Sharp G1/2 what's commonly called the 'Briot' bust. Issued at the Tower mint by Parliament in the King's 'absence'. Triangle dates it between 1639-1640.Second one is S2789, Sharp D2/1. Harp dates it between 1632-33. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 They are all long gone now! Quote
TomGoodheart Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Yes, I thought they might be! It has been a while, hasn't it? Quote
