YeOldeCollector Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I thought I'd share a few of my Edward I pennies with you gentlemen, the ones shown below are a complete mint run without some of the oddities such as de Hadelie etc... All are from my own collection and will be upgraded when the opportunity arises. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I have the hardest time reading what the letters are on the obverse and reverse. What do they typically spell out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 CIVI TAS and then the mint name or VILLA then the mint name, so CIVI TAS LON DON would equal the City of London and CIVI TAS CAN TOR Canterbury etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 very cool...I have developed a real fondness for hammered coins, their rough, more simple designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's so much a hobby rather than an obsession... I know that you have a few English hammered beauties! Good to see others appreciating hammereds. Clive.

All I have are an Æthelred II sceat, and a common Henry III silver penny. Nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thanks, I have managed to upgrade quite a few of these Eddies but my main focus now lies with Anglo-Saxon and Norman pennies, got some real beauties as of late. Nice Eanred and Nicole!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
