YeOldeCollector Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 A pretty much as-struck Styca of Northumbria, very scarce to get in this condition! King Eanred of Nortumbria, moneyer is Fordred. Spink 860, circa 820 A.D. VERY hard to take pics!! So here's some more! Cheers, Clive.

Scottishmoney Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Curiously the moneyer got his own name right, what with the R's, but not with Eanred's name, where the R's are retrograded:) That is a nice piece, as you know, these coins are not uncommon, in harsher preservation, but nice specimens are quite scarce and desirous.

YeOldeCollector Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Cheers Dave, these coins are exceptionally hard to find in such good condition, so I'm happy! I received this today, good example of a Commonwealth Halfgroat. Circa 1650, Cromwell's reign, full flan and good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Received these little beauties today! Edward I Farthing, Class 3de, easily meets VF+, Spink 1445A. Superb portrait, main reason as to why I purchased it! Circa 1285. Henry VI, Rosette-Mascle Issue, Archbishop Kemp of York Penny, with crosses by hair, a bit ragged but a clear portrait. Circa 1430. Cheers, Clive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 A strong VF+ example of the previous "Henry VI, Rosette-Mascle Issue, Archbishop Kemp of York Penny, with crosses by hair, a bit ragged but a clear portrait." , Spink Ref: 1866. Circa 1430. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A rare Henry VI Halfgroat of Calais Mint, mule sub-issue "Annulet-trefoil sub-issue." Spink 1854, strong VF+ again with lovely portrait. Circa 1429. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Henry VI, Pinecone-mascle issue, Calais Groat, superb example, aEF, Spink 1875. Circa 1432. Cheers, Clive. P.S. Also this, not sure if it counts but it's a new addition to the garden!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 My newest penny, Edward the Confessor Hammer Cross Type, Ulfcetel on York. Circa 1050. Cheers, Clive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Edward I Farthing, as-struck and off-struck! Two birds with one stone for me! Richard II Halfpenny, London Mint, not the most common of coins. Edward IV Penny, York mint but dies made at London. Long cross fitchee as mint mark. Cheers, Clive.

YeOldeCollector Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 First up, a really nice Henry VIII Facing Bust Penny, quite scarce and of York Mint. 'tis of the 3rd Coinage, Spink Ref. 2384 or 2424. Also, an 1854 American Gold Dollar, a tiny coin!! OK, so it's not a new purchase as Matt sent it to me from http://www.ldrcoins.com/ but still, it is nice... Thank you ever so much Matt!!!! Cheers, Clive.

YeOldeCollector Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 First up, a styca, one of the greenest I've seen in a while. The square flan and absolute gobbledygook gives this away as being a contemporary copy, but it's a copy of a copy of a copy! Circa 850. Secondly, a Venetian Soldino. I've identified dozens of these for people but have never seen one in person, now I own a VF example. This particular example is of the Doge Michele Steno, 1400-1413. Not bad for 99 pence... Last, but not least, an Elizabeth I Penny of the 5th Issue with the Greek Cross mint mark, a very good portrait for the issue. Cheers, Clive.

MADISON Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 What is the diameter of this coin? i.e. Sovereign, Half Sovereign etc... ONE INCH ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 OK, so an inch is the diameter of a Two Pound coin, i.e. 2.7 cm. The date is 1893, so that makes it of Vickie's Old Head Coinage. I would grade this at a strong VF so you're looking at about £400GBP/$800USD or $785CAD. The photos are slightly fuzzy, the coin could be an EF or even aUNC but I cannot tell and so would play safe with a strong VF. Please do not hesitate to email me at Clive@HistoricCoinage.com if you have any further queries, I hope that I have been of assistance. Cheers, Clive.
