YeOldeCollector Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 So, why those American bits, clive? just curious. They were part of a large collection I disposed of, so I chose some bits I liked and paid a fair price for them. Meant I got to see them in hand and get a good deal.

thedeadpoint Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Cool. Just checking to see if you had decided to grab a few American coins that had stuck out at you during your time here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Some more I've gotten around to photographing. Firstly, my Secret Santa gift and my oh my do I like it!! It's something so different to what I collect and that's why I like it so much. Thanks, Santa. Secondly, a Henry VIII Groat. Second Coinage, Laker bust D. Slightly off-centre but an attractive piece nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Very nice Clive. That Presidential Dollar set is really quite a nice Secret Santa surprise. WOW! Love the groat. Looks like Henry took a shot in the nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Well the contrast between the two couldn't be more marked without you showing a stamp! (You know, that _other_ big collectible.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 This one really excited me when I saw it. Edward the Confessor Radiate/Small Cross Type. Wulfric on Rochester - very rare and in stunning condition, albeit a slight wave. Only two Edward the Confessors of Rochester are recorded on the EMC and neither are of this type or moneyer.

YeOldeCollector Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 How often does one encounter radiate crowns? This is the only one I can think of as many are termed as diameded or with bonnets. So the type itself isn't that rare but the presence of radiate crowns on coins of this era is.

YeOldeCollector Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 It is part of a 9th-century Anglo-Saxon strap-end with the animal head terminal having been broken off in antiquty. These are often made of silver and this one features an enamelled stag on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 My latest purchase for my collection. An Edward I Halfpenny of Waterford mint. A scarce coin in surprisingly good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
