De Orc Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Now Mrs Orc would love that one she has a few cut but I dont think she has a whole John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Is your surname Orc? This is my only John that isn't a half, whole Johns and Richards I are quite scarce luckily I got the opportunity to buy this cheaply from a good friend.

geordie582 Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 A beauty! I'm jealous. Class 5b? The only examples I've encountered have been beyond my means, so I have to do with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Orc Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I would be happy with that it's not in too bad a condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie582 Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I suppose! Considering it was probably in use for a long time! Clive. I have numerous halves and quarters that give me as much pleasure - at least you know they have been used, and conjecture as to what purpose could give you nightmares!!!

YeOldeCollector Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 It is indeed 5b, not a bad example yourself! Halves are a great method of collecting, got my William I Cut half today!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie582 Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Henry II is as far back (in Norman terms) that I go. I concentrate on Plantagenet - although different numismatic authorities list different kings in this category i.e splitting Henry II toJohn as Angevin. Henry III to Richard II as Plantagenet ( although Richard III claimed to be a Plantagenet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I know what you mean, it gets very confusing!! Personally I go with William I - Matilda = Normans Henry II - Richard II = Plantagenet So on and so forth hehehe I tend to focus on Early Anglo-Saxon coinage to Richard II. It covers a load of monarchs but it keeps me busy! Recently got an Offa and Harold I. Plus the odd styca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie582 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I have a few Celtic, Roman and Saxon (you know what we numismatists are like - can't resist a nice coin!) But my Plantagenet are the bulk of my collection with Edward I hogging the bulk of the coin cabinet! Oh! yes! there are a few hundred Commem modern and foreign! Just can't stop!

YeOldeCollector Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Coin collecting is not a hobby but an addiction! My bulk is Henry III Longcross, like your Edward mint run I am going for a mint run of Henry L-Xs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie582 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 If you're after the different moneyers too, that's a lot of coins!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 That would take me centuries and empty all possible bank accounts of mine lol I'm just going for every mint, even quarters and halves. Hopefully, over time, I can improve all of them to EF wholes. Over half-way there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
