Very good to hear. I couldn't find any reports of issues with TypeIt4Me in conjunction with the forum, but that another browser seems better is no surprise, browsers are so complicated these days.

I'm using Chromium instead of Firefox, and so far - touch wood - it seems to be working normally with my abbreviations.

This one is indeed a penny. Third coinage, mintmark lion, bust 3i

If it had liv as the last three characters, it would have been worth a couple hundred pounds, or whatever someone was willing to pay, even in that condition

Not my area, as you know by now, but the ISTO must be Bristol mint? Not listed as substantially scarcer than any others. From the Spink book, I think that means it must be one of the Class 2 or 3 variations.

I have started a new page of Hammered coins, I have the penny's (halved) with all the information stored with them, lower down are the ones that are to rubbed to gain any further information on them.. however Ive kept them and one the hoard is finished sorting I can sit back and figure out what's their future... following on the better of the group are possibly Edward 1 Penny, the second one is City of London, as for the first...ISTO ? Class? All and any input greatly welcome, regards "H"

Awwwwwww... its been forever delayed as my copy of 2009 spink is lacking in illustrations of Elizabeth 1 smaller coinage. and after my last attempt and getting it correct I failed miserably ........ so...without rose & date...could this be a penny? 3rd/4th issues 1561-77 ?? I'm gonna need a newer Spink book! 🤔 As always many thanks, Rgds "H"

Please do! I would be very grateful if you find any. After all you secured me all the BU ten pences from 1992 to 2003, all those years ago!

Hello Sylvester. Sorry if I didn't reply to your pm back in March. Doesn't look like I did. I'm afraid I don't have any 10p's later than some nice 1970s examples. I'll keep you in mind though if I ever come those.

Bump. @Chris Perkins if you can source any. Has anyone got a Type 4 (between/between), Type 5 (at/at) 1992 ten pence in UNC? Willing to pay £30 for each. I need these for my full run in uncirculated. I'm still looking for a 2006 Type A (at dot on reverse) 10p. Willing to pay £30 for this in UNC condition. Mine is only AU.

Well so it is 🤩, brilliant! I can actually see that now that you've pointed it out - Thank you so much 😊

In case you come across anymore of these, the date is in Roman Numerals just behind Victoria's shoulder. You can just make out the lxxi at the end and can assume the rest. Worth knowing how to date them as some dates are much scarcer and more valuable than others.

Thank you 😊 the sorting was great fun! I also think the Florin is a nice souvenir - they really are a lovely design and the fact it's so worn makes me feel like it's been very well loved since 1871! I had no idea what the date might have been so that is awesome to know 🤩 thank you so much!

Silver is doing well for scrap price at the moment on the back of gold, so this sixpence would scrap at between £1.00 and £1.20. Don't spend it all at once!! It has no extra numismatic value in this lowly condition.

Agreed. 1924 is not a scarce date and I have scrapped much better coins than that before now.

circa 1300, Medieval Spanish Hammered Silver Coin👍

It's a sixpence with 50% silver content. And without wishing to appear rude I'd say it's worth the scrap value for the silver content.

Well done on your sorting! I hope you didn't give away the Crown Jewels to the charity shop! The Gothic Florins are a lovely design. Yours is pretty well worn, but you can still just make out the date as 1871. A nice souvenir.

9 badges now!! Just 'Milk Monitor' to get and I have the set!! And yes, Kylie is still in the top ten....

I'm having to do this via firfox, since Safari on my old laptop wont work wuth this forum any more! Also, you have lost the reputation score. This was useful. Someone could hae a low posting count but a high reputation, showing the 'quality; of their posts, and someone else could have a posting count of a million and a reputation of zero meaning they post rubbish all the time. If I remember, there are two members with reputations bigger than their posting counts!! Quite a feat...

New forum software feature. You have 6 badges, well done 🤭

Not to this I'm not....

Well I had a lovely weekend sorting and donating lots of coins to various places 😊 the sorting was made so much easier thanks to this forum! I've learnt loads from reading through the many posts. Charity shops were happy to accept the old foreign coins which was great. I also sold a few bits and bobs to some small antique shops. I hope someone else can find those coins now and start or continue their own shiny collection 🙂 I've saved a select handful of coins for myself to enjoy. I've kept this extremely well worn but very beautiful (if I've got my identification right here) gothic florin. What an awesome font that would have been once upon a time!

Quite a slog going through QEII Pennies for the first time after finishing work Then looking more closely at an otherwise a mundane circulated example of a 1964 Penny, I find all of date is doubled Best Regards (I'll do a few more)

Hello Paddy... unless already spotted historically I bought blindly any coins (way back pre computers day) that looked old enough to be a important find, I think the seller claimed it was Roman and I cant remember how much it was but knowing me it was under a £1, 30 odd years ago...... Paddy, many thanks for all of your time taken in dealing with my challenges. all the very best "H"
