YeOldeCollector Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Here's two of my recent purchases. Elizabeth I 1562 Threepence, really bought if for it's portrait as it is very good for the issue. What intrigues me is that it looks like the 2 is over a 1. I would grade a strong VF for issue. Spink 2565. You'd struggle to find a better condition 1562 overdate threepence. Edward III Halfgroat, Pre-treaty series F. M.M Crown and a very nice reverse. Spink 1577. Kindest Regards, Clive.

Scottishmoney Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Cheers Richard! Here are a few more of mine: Edward I Penny, Ioh on Bury St Edmunds. More to come soon! Clive. I think some of my first pennies from Edward I were these first coinage ca. 1372-1379 issues that were minted in Bury and in Canterbury. These are peculiar in that they were probably largely designed and minted before Edw I returned to England from the Crusades, HIII died while Edw I was away. I still kept several of these coins, mine are all ex-Colchester hoard of 1969. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still kept several of these coins, mine are all ex-Colchester hoard of 1969. These pennies were only minted for Bury St Edmunds and Durham, London was introduced as a mint for the improved early type, and they were minted from 1272 until 1278. You're only 100 years out! They are peculiar types which I enjoy, a transition from Henry III to Edward I, that's why I picked it up cheaply because the vendor listed it as Henry III. An ugly portrait though, very crude!

geordie582 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 My Latest purchase. Edward I London mint Class 10b. The flatness of one of the quarters appears in a few of my Edd I's - wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Someone's hijacking my thread! Probably due to the huge scale of mintage that they paid little attention to the dies and the flans, a few of mine are similar. I've just finished a little article on my site that you might be interested in: http://historiccoinage.com/blog.aspx Kindest Regards, Clive.

YeOldeCollector Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have to admit, this is one ugly coin but I also collect for history not just looks... Now, it is pretty indecipherable but here's the most likely combination: Thorr on Norwich. All I know for certain in the mean time is that it is an Awbridge Type of King Stephen(circa 1156 A.D.), I wait for Martin Allen's reply eagerly! These coins were largely produced posthumously and so Stephen probably never saw this type as they tended to be produced and circulated in Henry II's reign. It was also an emergency issue, hence the poor strike that gives it that almost triangular appearance. But still, an interesting coin that is rare, with plenty of history and character for a bargain amount! Clive. P.S. It should look like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 No it should look like this: Here's to wishing I was the lucky bloke that hit the send button on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I am good friends with the buyer of that coin! It's a different monarch, but I must admit it is an absolute cracker! I hope to meet up with him and see the coin in person! Clive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Paid for a large group of hammereds today, all part of a collection, about 20 in total. Here are a few pics of the top picks. Henry II Tealby Penny, Class C2. Willem on Winchester. Edward the Confessor Hammer Cross Type, Thor on York. Cnut, as-struck but weakly Quatrefoil penny. Ornst on Cambridge. One I've been after a long time, Henry III penny of Durham, rare mint. I just need Carlisle now to complete my mint run! King Stephen Watford Type, Samar on Leicester. Decent for issue. Plus plenty of coins from later, including Edward I pennies of Chester, Exeter, Newcastle and Kingston-upon-Hull. Clive.

YeOldeCollector Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 That Henry II tealby Penny is just a classic! Many thanks Matt, not often do they come on full flans! Had many more later coins but did not have the time to take photos. Was too busy listing spares on my site: http://historiccoinage.com/hammereds2.aspx Clive.

YeOldeCollector Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Received some niceties in the post today. Edward I Farthing, superb portrait for issue. Class 4de, Spink 1446A, aVF. How about this funky Decimeter? An interesting piece of history nonetheless! Converts pre-Decimal into Decimal at the turn of two dials! :th_ThumbsUp: Plus others which will be up in due time. Clive.
