leeshiel Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 It might be the first complete coin known of this type, but the Tutbury cut half on eBay was also a Stephen. It sold for £158. It's quite possible that the half wasn't recorded, as many finds just end up on eBay without people going to the trouble of logging them.I've been looking for an image, but it seems I have lost it for the moment. I suspect it got erased during a periodic clean up of the pictures folder to make space for new onesThanks rob, but after doing lots of research on this it was not set in stone by the mint mark it was a maybe my coin is the only clear evidence of a Stephan coin minted at tutbury and the only one recorded :-).

Danelaw Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) £8000-£10000 is a hell of an estimateThe estimate was very close though. Making £7,000. In a few of the national papers as well....well done by the way. Edited June 25, 2014 by Danelaw 1 Quote

HistoricCoinage Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 It did'nt sell due to the estimate being too highAlso due to some confusion whether this is actually the first coin of Tutbury as at least one other has surfaced online in recent years. 2 Quote
Zo Arms Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 I quite enjoy reading old threads. Some reach a conclusion. Others descend into mayhem and occasionally, like this one, the story ends abruptly. Does anyone know the history of the coin since this thread ended? Just curious. 1 Quote

It was back up for sale a few years ago someone claiming it had been repaired rest assured it had nothing done to it while i had it, then again a bit later on the images wasn't clear but it looked cracked :-(.
