Art Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I really have to get one of those Trade Dollars. I just think they are the nicest design. I'm going to add it to my "goals" list for the remainder of 2007 and 2008. Maybe a nice Christmas present for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 They are beautiful coins that are readily available at a reasonable price. This one only set me back about $20/£10. Do you buy yourself X-Mas presents every year? ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 They are beautiful coins that are readily available at a reasonable price. This one only set me back about $20/£10.Do you buy yourself X-Mas presents every year? ... I usually do. My wife won't buy me anything to do with coins or any other current hobby/pastime. She's always afraid she'll get it wrong. This has been this way since we were first dating. On the other hand, I just forge right ahead and if she doesn't like/want what I get her, we return it and make a shopping/luncheon date out of it.

YeOldeCollector Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Quite a good idea actually. No one in my family will buy me coins either, as you say, they are afraid they will get it wrong etc... The only coins they do get me sometimes are commemorative issues or proof sets, letting them roam the hammered coin market wouldn't be a good idea!

YeOldeCollector Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 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.

thedeadpoint Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Awesome catches, YOC! I'm always astonished by the dates of those coins and that we know who minted them and where! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 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.

thedeadpoint Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 YOC, do you ever go metal detecting or ever find one of these nice artifacts in the ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Nice newbies for your collection. Love the histories behind the British hammered. Sometime I want to go through my English stuff that I have not looked at and done anything with in years. I collected them pretty avidly until years ago, then got into the Scottish. I sold some, but still kept a few pennies from Henry III, and Edward I, II, and III because of the more interesting mints I had accumulated.
