H. I suggest you pick up an old copy of Coins of England. This would give you a good heads up on what you have, as many types/varieties are illustrated in life size pictures, and would also allow you to do some preliminary investigations. It doesn't have to be the latest, as the only prices that have gone through the roof are the top end coins or anything in high grade for the type. The type itself is mostly what you need to know. A worn coin will always be that, and price wise typically not something for an investor mentality. There are few exceptions to this broad rule.

Have you seen the E over R VICTOEIA 1856 farthing . This one is mine , not perfect but 😊

First time I've been on this coin forum in years, so thought I'd do a post: I see many references stating the 'Briot' Shilling where they are really mostly of the standard Tower Briot style (S2799) The 2 shillings here show the differences in the true Briot hammered issue (on left) and a Tower 'Briot' style (on right) - open for discussion to point out the differences.. A little guide for future reference!

Their estimates are absurd. For most coins, the hammer price is on average double the top estimate.

I do like a countermark albeit Silver, this was dismissed by others years ago as it was stamped and unwanted as they were viewed as devalued, glad I kept mine. 👍

Or Charles I, you’ll have to take a closer look at the legends under a good light 👍

A Stuart copper farthing!

Yes, the Short Cross is Henry III class 7 and the moneyer is indeed TERRI of London. The long cross is class 3 and Canterbury (O\| CANT)

Don’t forget your scales, they’re a cheap and very worthy item too! You could always check out Rob’s website to see if he has any on there, he sells most things? 👍 https://rpcoins.co.uk/

2 and 3 both appear to have trifoliate crowns and read CIVITAS CANTOR for Canterbury on the reverse, both Edward I. Difficult to be sure about 4, lacking detail, may be bifoliate and is of London, probably Edward II . Number 1 has me stumped, no access to books at the moment, reverse legend seems to start with a Lombardic ‘N’ , ‘NAM’ or RAM’ and ends with an ‘S’. Could it be a continental imitation of Edward III? Thats as much as I can offer while grandchild sitting. Jerry

Just standard worn dies and partial letter repairs that has cropped up in many threads on here over the last few weeks, I'm afraid. Very common in the Victoria series and though interesting, not really worth any great premium...

Hi, Arrived earlier today 1860 Penny Which I think this is a circulated BP 1860 Nf (F + d) I can see part of the upper T in the linear circle and the remains of a foot sticking out in the RHS of the leg of the T. The C has been doubled and the O repaired Best Regards

Very common - in fact ‘normal’ on obverse 6 pennies in better condition, must have been present on at least one master die. It was likely featured on a ‘C’ punch used in die preparation, size /depth a little variable with the strike. Jerry

No, I’m talking about this link as being your SECOND Elizabeth threefarthings! You were saying you only had ONE, I was merely pointing out that you have TWO!

It’s dated 1578 over 1575 as mentioned earlier in the post.

Very happy with this find today

Apologies, an evening out with friends! The most important detail in this are the busts, the threehalfpence was only ever issued with one bust (3G the bust you shared off the numis site). Size isn’t always the best tool for identifying these tiny coins, as the flans can spread with some considerable variance, depending on how heavily they’re struck. You need to buy yourself a set of scales because, in the absence of knowing the bust types, they’ll quickly give the game away on grounds of weight alone.

I think you are reading the figure for proof issues of this date, which is 1312. Regular business strike, of which this is an example, the figure is 7,010,000 !

George IIII 1821 Six Pence 1st reverse this coin was only minted for 1821,....... and found here to be in a nice condition...👍

Victoria Six pence...1893, if correct.....apparently only had a Mintage of 1 300 of this date... Awesome!

there's Greek on the ?reverse? - upper case Epsilon Omicron Sigma spelling EOS, the name of an Ancient Greek goddess.

Very nice coin.

I picked up the first 2022 5p I've seen in change today, so maybe some of the post 2020 change is making it out at last.
