YeOldeCollector Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 I'm going for a mint run of Henry III Long-cross, so if you ever want to sell some message me. I'll be more than happy to take them off you hands! I agree, so much history belongs to such small things. I have an Alexander III penny and the odd turner.

geordie582 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Mint runs of the Plantagenet era are my bag too, but I'm staying with those of Edward Ist at the moment. Trouble is, as you progress, the types you need dry up and become very expensive! Serves us right for taking up numismatics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 That was my problem with the English hammered, I never wanted anything from London or Canterbury, but rather King's Norton, or Ecclesiastical mints in Durham and York. My oldest Ecclesiastical coins are actually from Northumbria: Archbishop Wigmund of York ca. 837-854 AD I like the Ecclesiastical coins because they were issued by the Church and not the government, very fascinating.

YeOldeCollector Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 That was my problem with the English hammered, I never wanted anything from London or Canterbury, but rather King's Norton, or Ecclesiastical mints in Durham and York. Similar story here, London and Canterbury are too common and so I like the provincial and ecclesiastical mints. Henry VII Half-groat of York of Archbishop Savage. Not an appropriate name for an archbishop but a nice coin nonetheless. Are you trying to proselytize me, oh source of the hammered ones? Maybe I am, maybe I'm not... hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Is the what appears to be the numeral III on the coin his regnal number as I suspect? I have never seen them on coins before about Richard III. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 HENRICUS REX III = King Henry III I study latin so it is a great help with my hammereds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie582 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Wasn't he the first to 'number' himself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I believe so. There ware so many individual names for kings before Henry III i.e. Egbert, Hardicnut etc... that they didn't have to number their coins.

YeOldeCollector Posted October 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Purchased this today, a Tealby/Cross and Crosslet penny that is nearly on a full flan. Looks to be a class F of Ipswich, this coin dates to circa 1176 a.d. Will get more info and better photos, and post in Virtual British Coin Museum, when I receive the coin. My other Tealbies are struck completely off centre, halves or quarters. This one being an exception for once lol! All the best, Clive.
