    I'm looking forward to seeing what this is!
  2. YeOldeCollector
    A very warm welcome to you, Bob!
  3. YeOldeCollector
    I've already tried that approach. It is an intriguing coin, though, at least from the eBay picture.

    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.

    We miss you in the Asylum.

    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.

    Only a couple of times and that was only damage. I've never had one go missing, yet...

    Thanks, gentleman. Just as an added note, this piece dates to circa 845 A.D.

    A lovely arrival courtesy of the postman this morning. Aethelwulf of Wessex Cross Crosslet penny. Deor of Canterbury. Golden tone and provenance including Princeton, Spink, Stack's, Lockett and Glendining.

    Too much.

    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.
  12. YeOldeCollector
    Fantastic pieces!

    1/2 Franc and 20 Mauritian Rupees.

    This isn't a medal, Pat. They just forgot to cut them out. This is an impressive piece, though and has a very high level of detail. Do you know when this electrotype dates from? I also admire the centre gentleman's beard, I'd better get growing.
  15. YeOldeCollector
    Now that is intriguing!

    1994 dime. Came to me as a five pence in my change.
  17. YeOldeCollector
    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.
  18. YeOldeCollector
    Fantastic post, thank you very much Pat! I shall have to keep an eye out for these.

    Something I forgot to photography yesterday. I bought this from America as I do with quite a few hammered pieces. It's an Edward I Irish penny of Dublin. It is of the Sixth Issue with the single pellet signifying this and the triangle around the portrait only found on the Irish issues of Henry III and Edward I. This particular coin dates near enough to 1300.

    It's a rather rare date and is second only to the 1708 in terms of rarity of Anne's pieces. Coupled with a female portrait in a sea of male dominated royalty, the simplicity of the design and the nature of small silver I just had to have it as the price was right! As for hammered Maundy sets, technically not but there are records of Maundy money being given out as early as King John.
  21. YeOldeCollector
    That is a fantastic piece and something I'd love to own. Were many such medals struck at the Exhibition by other companies, do you know?
  22. YeOldeCollector
    Many thanks for this, Mark. I hadn't even considered VAMs as I just went for the visual appeal of the coin. Thanks, Art. I love Maundy sets. My favourite one can be seen here.

    Finally, what with the Euro going down the drain I was pleased to snag a reasonable 1979 proof sovereign.
  24. YeOldeCollector
    I have also been sent, kindly, some gifts by a few people. I really appreciate them and here they are: A wonderful little piece. Chinese and dates to circa 1000 A.D.
  25. YeOldeCollector
    Now for the American bits.
