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.

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 :ninja:

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.

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

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.

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.
