Haha, I was feeling quite happy when I took the pics, however the weather outside was a bit blue to say the least, looks like it was reflected in the photos, or more likely my white balance was off! Thanks for the comments though, il post a few more pics.

And here are 3 Edward I pennies. As far as I can tell the first is Spink 1398, however there is an S in the obverse legend at 9 o'clock which doesn't appear in the example in spink 2010, so if anyone has any information about that id love to hear it! The second and third I am unsure of, I have been told maybe Spink 1414 (10cf5), if anyone knows for sure then please tell me. 3 lovely early pennies anyway which have been added to my collection! And a Henry III penny without sceptre, its a bit worn but still has some nice details, and is also very old. I hope you like them!

A Richard I (1189 - 1199) penny ( Richard the lion heart or Coeur de lion), the moneyer is Goldwine on Canterbury, class 4a, spink 1348A. A lovely little early shortcross penny!

Very interesting! some excellent coins.

It has been a while since I posted any of my new coins so ive got quite a few to share! I hope you like them. This is a George IV Penny - there are two types listed in Spink for 1826, thin and thick saltire, I have no idea what the saltire is so if anyone could help me out with that id be grateful! slightly weakly struck on the reverse. A lovely William III sixpence (Error variety with I instead of L in Gulielmus) - I got it as part of a lot for next to nothing, I was a bit suspicious that I got it so cheap but I took it to the spink shop in York and the guy in there confirmed it to be genuine and in a/UNC - UNC condition! A commonwealth penny - sadly holed but has some nice details This is a commonwealth halfgroat or twopence A James I halfgroat (mm thistle 1603 - 4), a bit ragged round the edges but some nice detail, I like the legend rosa sine spina - rose without thorns An Edward VI Shilling (mm Y 1551) Edward VI sixpence (mm tun 1551 - 3) unfortunately holed 4 times!!! allegedly used as a button in the past, but what a portrait, a beautiful coin even with the holes. A Henry VII groat (mm pansy 1495 - 8) A lovely old coin of the first Tudor monarch and father of Henry VIII. I cant make my mind up about the grade though, somewhere between good fine and VF id say, any opinions would be welcomed. This is an Edward IV light coinage groat (mm rose 1464 - 5) A really lovely coin from around the time of the war of the roses, the obverse is struck slightly off centre but the detail is fantastic for such an old groat. Again I can't decide about the grade so any opinions would be great! Finally a short cross penny from the reign of king John, class 5c Arnavd on Canterbury (1199 - 1216) - thanks to ye olde collector for identifying it for me! An amazing piece of history that is about 800 years old!!! Let me know what you think of the new additions

Very nice coin, good portrait, and very old too! ive got a few centuries to go back before I get anything this old!

Nice coins! I like the 1844 5 francs, its a good looking coin.
