loose54 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Good afternoon all, this seems to be the place to come to get some hammered identified! Any help with these two would be greatly appreciated, as ever. Thanks all! Quote
Peter Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 @Peter no i dont. i find these coins difficult to read. RPPMay I suggest Englands stricking history available from this site/amazon EtcAn excellent read which should help in IDing coins.A very reasonable price too (£7/£8) I seem to remember. 1 Quote
TomGoodheart Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Good afternoon all, this seems to be the place to come to get some hammered identified! Any help with these two would be greatly appreciated, as ever. Thanks all! Edward and London for the first. Coinery will no doubt appreciate a chance to hone his skills narrowing it down further! Second, Henry II or III (?) Moneyer ILGER ON LVN (London) so my guess is Henry III. Looks like a possible Class 6c (Spink 1355) to my untutored eyes but more likely Class 8, Spink 1357 ... Maybe Clive can confirm or deny? . Edited June 30, 2015 by TomGoodheart Quote

Geordie582 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Thank You! Another drop of information to add to other forgotten facts! Memory is for the young! Quote

Unfortunately I haven't enough literature to accurately cover the Edward III period but, in view of the ANGLIE legend, I'm going for a transitional penny! S1612, N1227If I was buying or selling this coin I would want to read more about it first, but Edward III penny definitely! Edit: hah! I don't know if anyone has the 2013 Spink, but I'd wager the obverse plate coin of s1612 is very likely from the same die? Spooky! Edited July 3, 2015 by Coinery Quote
Coinery Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I really feel there's a lack of discussion that was present a couple of years ago? Is it just seasonal? Quote
Paulus Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 We have a few regular posters that do not post at the moment as you know, but I kind of sense a dwindling of interest in the micro-attribution side of things (apart from the ever-strong Viccy pennies). I know this is key to early hammered, do enthusiasts of the subject feel it is becoming more 'niche'?Certainly there was far more discussion on this site a couple of years ago, maybe collectors are moving more to collecting general 'types'?

TomGoodheart Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Not sure. I find Clive's absence (work and recent incapacity) means I tend to flounder a bit on the classes of such as Edward pennies without the reassurance he'll confirm or deny my guesswork! I also find there are days when there seem to be no new posts until late evening ... maybe people are just busier?I suspect the membership is in continual flux. When I first joined there were loads (well, four or five) youngsters, Chris posted pretty regularly and Geoff (who knew how to spell 'definitely') and I don't remember as much discussion about bun heads etc. Farthings though .. they seemed very popular. But then CC was still around, which I'm sure made a difference.Now? I see Geordie has popped in a bit more regularly of late, but as Paul says, there are members who aren't currently posting much .. I suspect it will pick up again after the summer. And hopefully some of the people that come there to ask about coins will stay and post. But I know forums aren't for everyone and interests can change ... as Lao Tsu said. Quote
