TomGoodheart Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Aethelred II penny. Spink 1152, helmet type? Mint and moneyer... not sure. Looks like.. +ÆÐELPINE M_O then ... CROL? Cricklade? At least, that's the best I can do. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will chip in soon! . Edited April 8, 2015 by TomGoodheart Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Aethelred II Helmet penny, as Richard says.Legend reads +AEDELSIGE M-O CROC making this Aethelsige on Cricklade. Quote
TomGoodheart Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Cheers Clive! (Didn't I do well ... for a beginner, at least!) Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Cheers Clive! (Didn't I do well ... for a beginner, at least!)Very impressed! Quote
TomGoodheart Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Well, I did have a copy of Spink to help. Quote
RPP Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 im new at these really old coin.I collect what you call brand new i cant find any like this one online?what is the value on a coin like this?? Quote
TomGoodheart Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 HistoricCoinage is your man. But my guess would be if you wanted to buy one you'd need £350+ for a similar coin.The legends are a bit blundered and the flan a bit wavy, but the portrait is nice. Quote
RPP Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Thanks. Here is one more but only half. can anyone help with id and value. Quote
TomGoodheart Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) I believe .. S.1154, Aethelred II last small cross type. Mint? ... Exeter, I think (EAXEC[...] )... though again with the proviso that I have no experience with the series!. Edited April 30, 2015 by TomGoodheart Quote
Paulus Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Some of you may remember a Charles I Shilling with unusual legend double-striking that Richard posted a few months ago, and suggested he might be open to offers. Well given my renewed interest in late hammered I have today acquired this coin, which I like for many reasons(Sorry Stu, I know you don't like these!)Edit: Wrong thread, can be removed!

Coinery Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Some of you may remember a Charles I Shilling with unusual legend double-striking that Richard posted a few months ago, and suggested he might be open to offers. Well given my renewed interest in late hammered I have today acquired this coin, which I like for many reasons(Sorry Stu, I know you don't like these!)No, it's alright, it's Ch..chuffin' great! It's true, I'm not a massive fan of the C1 shillings, but that's not a bad coin, it's actually hammered onto the flan, and the flan's nearly all there, and it's coin-shaped! There are better reigns out there, of course, George VI and Elizabeth II for instance? No, it's a nice coin, and I know the price will have been a good and fair one! Someone's gotta love 'em! Quote
Coinery Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 That's actually quite a nice coin, what's your example of it, TG? I'm guessing you upgraded it? Quote
Paulus Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 I'm guessing that Richard already had a much better example of this very common variety, but was tempted to snaffle it anyway ... nonetheless I would like to see pics of Richard's best example Quote
TomGoodheart Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) I have two, neither perfect. The first is decently struck but has graffiti on the obverse and on a wibbly flan: The other is nice and round but less well struck on the reverse (corroded, maybe?): . Edited May 8, 2015 by TomGoodheart Quote

Exeter, I think (EAXEC[...] )... though again with the proviso that I have no experience with the series!Apologies for the delay. Managed to get hit by a car last week so been a little...out of it.Yes, Exeter mint of Aethelred's Last Small Cross. Moneyer is likely to be either Mangod, Thurgod or Isegod. Quote
Coinery Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I've been run over three times! Once as a small kid, when a car reversed over my leg.Second time I was talking to someone on the payment beside the A38, when an accident spilled off the carriageway onto the payment, breaking my femur and pelvis, amongst a pile of other internal bruising and bladder unhappiness.The third time I was unloading some weed killer from the back of a van that was parked at the side of a road. I was in a high-vis jacket, but the lady who was driving down the road, peering through a ten inch hole in her frosty window (the police description, not mine), didn't see me, or the van, and ploughed right into the back of it! I jumped up, but left one leg trailing (silly boy) and, hey presto, another broken bone in my leg! Some would call me unlucky! I think I'm very, VERY, lucky! Quote

RPP Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 If i want to part with Aethelred coins where to go online? Quote
Peter Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Ebay will find their level.Send special delivery because there are some right scumbags out there.Good pictures and accurate descriptions do help.Good luck Quote
Coinery Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Rob and Clive might be interested? Probably better than eBay after a bum set of bids and 15% off of everything, including post? Quote
