thedeadpoint Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Whereas if a shattered die made the King look like a wild boar then there could have been dire consequences...

thedeadpoint Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Jeez, Clive. I've only found a few quarters with my detector and some guy is finding medievals worth 20-30 pounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Jeez, Clive. I've only found a few quarters with my detector and some guy is finding medievals worth 20-30 pounds? Well the vast majority of hammered coins are found by metal detecting, for example there is one English coin that was found by a detectorist that sold for £230,000 which is about $400,000. I would have a minute collection if there were no detectorists... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I guess most of coins in the US market are from either personal collections (traded/handed down through the generations since we've had a pretty healthy collecting base going back to the mid 19th C.) or from hoards. I figured a good deal of your coins are from hoards. If most are from detectorists, how often do you hear of hoards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Here's one I forgot to post here: Edward VI Shilling, Tower mint, very base issue. A small chip behind the bust but a superb portrait. I like Edward VI's coins as they are quite scarce and it is if the infamous 'Boy King' Henry VIII's only son, so not a bad example for what I paid.
