I have just brought my second hammered coin, this Charles I shilling from Lloyd Bennett. (My first hammered was a Charles I Halfcrown from LCA). Size Approx. 30 -31.50 mm. Weight 5.91g. Group E, type 4.1 var., Sharp F5/1, mm. anchor to the right. Ex:- Alan Morris (bgt.Mark Senior.2/99). Lloyd graded it as better than VF/VF. It's now in the post and I look forward to receiving it tomorrow. I like it a lot because of its well struck portrait. There are no weak areas and grade is decent too. I would have preferred the flan to be rounder but the shape is good enough for me. I am obviously still very inexperienced with hammered as this is only my second example. Any comments, advice, opinions most welcome and appreciated. Right now a decent hammered coin tend to get me a lot more excited than a milled coin of comparable price!

They acknowledge your cabinet's kind offer, but regret that they must decline. The twopence said that she would not wear fur for ethical reasons. The threepence looked amazed and asked what she was talking about. Twopence replied: " I asked fourpence if we should accept the invitation to Mr Peter's cabinet in Suffolk" and she said "Suffolk! Wear the fox hat"

I have a lustrous Unc example - it was mentioned in John Jerrams' book on the Bun Penny (top of page 20) as a 2 over 2 much as Rob describes.

I reckon it's fair to say you didn't overpay.

The 4 tokens above cost less than £13 in total.

Again, I can't reproduce the blue toning and reflective fields.

Only just realised why you bought the last one .....HARRISON

A couple of Condor tokens I got yesterday. Think I got them for a good price but have no idea of value

Great stuff! I will try this tonight thank you! Cheers guys for bearing with me through this, your a good bunch.
