GiddyUpGo Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm new here and wondering if I could get some help IDing some coins, or if anyone has suggestions on where I could go.I have a small handful of seven or eight hammered pennies, probably Edward Is, none of which are particularly high grade. I think I got them as a job lot on eBay about 10 years ago. Most of them are long cross but there are one or two short crosses mixed in. I have a few cut half pennies as well, and one round half-penny.I'm nowhere near an expert on these coins and can only really guess at what they are. It would be nice to know at least the king for each one--class would be nice too but like I said they aren't great examples so that might just be wishful thinking.If anyone here might be willing to help, I'd of course be happy to post some pictures.Thanks in advance,Becki Quote

GiddyUpGo Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks, I'm attaching a JPG of both sides of all the coins, but with my upload quota of 150 KB I don't know if the image is going to be clear enough to tell much. Is there a better way to do this, maybe one at a time? I'm not sure if the "quota" is per image or the total amount I'm allowed for a specific time period ...Thanks again,Becki Quote

I would say thats a good image considering the 150Kb retriction. Cant comment on the coins though, not my area. Your best bet is probably Rob who has already picked up on this thread. You can get around the 150Kb restriction if you have a place to upload pic's to, such as Photobucket which is free picture hosting. All you need to do is then paste the image code into your post and it will appear in its original size. The image code is already shown on the photobucket page all you need to do is copy and paste. However, there is also another restriction to the number of pics that you can post using an outside source, as I found out yesterday where I had to split a post with 6 pic's into three seperate posts. I can only assume that this is an anti spam measure to stop the forum getting swamped by nasty pic,s.The 150KB quota is per imageSorry Azda have to correct you on this one. The 150Kb restriction is not confined to one image but the total amount of all pic's in the post. The most that I have posted in one post was 3 to a total of 148Kb. Quote
Peter Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 HiI believe the 2nd and 4th coins to be London mint and just make out or on the third which indicates Canterbury...the rest are very difficult.I will the guess smallest coin could well be a Henry V11...but I stand to be corrected. Quote
GiddyUpGo Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks, can't believe I didn't think of that. Must have been one of those Mondays. The bigger picture is at http://www.palfreymedia.com/personal/coins.jpg.Thanks again,Becki Quote
