thedeadpoint Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Various new purchases here. Is that a coin struck over another coin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Edward I, London penny, Class 4d. I like how the cross shows through. With his beady eyes, it's kind of scary looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Is that a coin struck over another coin? Nope, it's slipped in the dies causing the reverse to be particularly off-struck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Those designs are great! I know, I have a soft spot for Henry VI large coins such as the groats and halfgroats. I like how the cross shows through. With his beady eyes, it's kind of scary looking. Yeah, the shadowing echoes how it was made. Well he was meant to be a 'scary' character anyway although he was very strict and a good ruler who took Wales and Scotland. Although the rebels soon rebelled, name kind of gives it away, and he died on his way to meet the rebel leader known as Robert the Bruce.

YeOldeCollector Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Love it! As do I. The portraits on these are normally very faded so was pleased to pick up a visible one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Two coins to report. One is a halfpenny. You should all be able to tell me who the monarch is... I bought it for the portrait, been a very long time since I've seen such a good portrait. It really is stunning in hand, the photos certainly do not do it justice. Scarce denomination. This one is very rare indeed. One of the rarest known pennies of Edward III. Reading mint, Third coinage with Escallop in one quarter of reverse. Not the most attractive of coins but rare and so I could not resist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Two coins to report. One is a halfpenny. You should all be able to tell me who the monarch is... Great portrait. Who is the king? Not the most attractive of coins but rare and so I could not resist. I think its in excellent condition considering its apparent rarity. I mean, how rare is it? It's well centered, well struck, but impressively worn. Why is it considered rare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Great portrait. Who is the king? Recognise him now? I think its in excellent condition considering its apparent rarity. I mean, how rare is it? It's well centered, well struck, but impressively worn. Why is it considered rare? Reading is a very rare mint. The more common ones are York, Durham, London and Canterbury. Reading was not in activity for long. According to one book, there are about 15 of these Reading pennies known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Three new'uns arrived today. Edward III Halfpenny Third/Florin Coinage, London reading EDWARDVS REX. I bought it purely for it being a brockage, I have only ever come across one or two so had to have it. It has only had its obverse struck, leaving an impression on the reverse. Looks like it circulated just like any other. Henry III Continental imitation of a penny. Reverse reads ARW IENR ONC AN which makes little sense. Nevertheless, it is in good condition. Edward I Halfpenny of the scarcer Waterford mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Great coins, Clive. Not sure I'm a fan of the E I obverse with the inverted triangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Great coins, Clive. Not sure I'm a fan of the E I obverse with the inverted triangle. Yeah, it's not the most aesthetically pleasing of coins but it is quite scarce so I don't mind too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Edward I Penny, London mint. Class 7a, rose on breast. Greenhalgh 7vi/v mule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Photographed two of my newest coins; Above is a Voided Longcross Penny of Henry III. Class Vb but of one of the rarest mints of the series. The moneyer is Ricard and the mint is Durham. An Edward I Penny of London mint. A less common class, class 3a, with a particularly nice portrait. The CIVI of CIVI TAS LON DON looks abnormal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 On the Longcross penny, where does it show it is voided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 George, here's a post I did in December located here: http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?showtopic=22403 Right, Voided Longcross. Take a look at the photo below; The 'voided' refers to the space, or void, in between the arms of the cross. So the cross is more like tramlines/train tracks than a single arm such as the coin below; Here's a simplified diagram, excuse my lack of artistic talent... Left : Voided Longcross, void in between arms. Right : Longcross, no space, just one arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 OH! So "voided" doesn't mean it was stamped to void the coin. You mean "void" as in "a space". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 OH! So "voided" doesn't mean it was stamped to void the coin. You mean "void" as in "a space". Correct, so a voided longcross means a longcross with a void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
