HENRICUS REX III = King Henry III

I study latin so it is a great help with my hammereds!

Another Henry III Long-cross for my mint run.

Henry III - Tomas on Northampton.

Next time for sure. I will be happy to accompany you as one of the only other hammered nuts on this forum hehehehe

But that is in a year's time...

Are you a member of the BNS? http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/dept/coins...msoc/index.html

And reverse...

This little guy caught my eye!

Henry Vi 1422-61 Halfpenny of the rosette mascle issue. Calais mint, Spink # 1871.

Here is an Aethelred II Styca - (854-858 a.d.) Eardwulf

Spink 861

Will put rest I purchased up here later on.

You should have come Richard!!! They had bargain trays where all coins were 50 pence, but to my dissatisfaction, this penny wasn't in one. I had to haggle this one!

Quite a few people there! I met collectors and dealers from Russia to America and Greece to Ireland. A right mix of good people, but as expected there was quite a few thieves. Apparently the gang was caught by the Police and will soon be deported, according to rumours...

All the best,

Clive.

Thank you, also got some more coins such as an EF 1959 penny of Nigeria and an odd Pope John Paul medallion.

Cheers, and Richard I didn't hehehe Was one of the bargains to be had!

And obverse...

Aethelred II First Hand Penny from my personal collection. London mint, Spink 1144.

Above: Charles V lead medal.

Above: Modern coin to commemorate William the First.

And the obverse...

This coin is circa 990 A.D.

I went to CoinEx today in London and picked up a few bargains. Here a few of them. Enjoy...

Above: Aethelred II First hand type with hand of providence between alpha and omega. Spink 1144.

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

The postie was good to me today!!!

The Henry I ha'penny as a better photo, the previous photo has disappeared...

And a 1788 Anglesey Halfpenny. I just like the druid...

All for now folks! But fear not as more are yet to come!

Thanks Demetrios!!

I like them but my bank probably doesn't

I will send you one hammered coin sometime soon mate, don't you worry!

All the best,

Clive.

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.

Ohhhhh... lol

It makes sense now, thanks sbvenman!

May I ask what YOC is?

I do go metal detecting but never find anything like these coins, just musket balls, bullets and modern coinage that is worthless.

Amazing, something nearly a thousand years old can be pinpointed within a few years of mintage, where and who hammered it.

Two more hammereds on their way to me:

Henry I - Cut Half. Quadrilateral-on-cross-fleury Type. Spink Ref# 1276

Reads RO]DBERT O[N CANP. Robert at Canterbury.

Quite rare to turn up in any condition, my only other Henry I is an unrecorded combination of mint, type and moneyer.

Then a Henry III Penny, Jacob of Norwich. A mint to push me closer to completion of my mint run.

Spink Ref# 1361

Not very good photos, will improve when coin arrives.

That's all for today!

All the best,

Clive.

Good news guys!

New hammereds are winging their way to me! More info and photos will be added when I receive them

William The Conqueror - Cut Halfpenny. Very Rarely up for sale. Circa 1075 A.D.

Aethelred II Styca of Northumbria. Scarce Most likely moneyer Eanwulf... Circa. 850 A.D.

Henry III Penny, Ricard on Lincoln One of the scarcer mints. Circa 1260 A.D.

All the best,

Clive.

Cheers.

Thanks Demetrios. It has to be picked out in a certain light but I fell in love with it on eBay!

All the best,

Clive.

Sorry, I don't know an Abbotsford. Neither does Google Maps Apart from Canada...
