"The rest of his wares look like £1 land trinkets." Good one Stu.

omega_02 Just been looking through his items for sale too, what a load of tat! But his 'Roman ring" is a typical piece of modern tourist repro and his "Neolithic tool" is a beach pebble. Not a trustworthy seller. Jerry

One of my recently acquired 1699s has what appears to be an overstruck T in Britannia. I'm including a photo of the isolated T next to that of Tertivs for comparison.

Perverse amusement is all well and good but I really must spend less of my spare time looking at these pitiful listings and use it more constructively. All from the same seller.

He obviously does river bank walks. I often find cow , sheep & horse teeth that get washed up on the banks of the Ribble. Some old some modern it depends whether they have gone in over the past few years or been washed out the banks with erosion. Found a fossilised equus tooth once. Why anyone would buy manky old animal teeth is beyond me. As for that Neolithic tool its just a river rock. The rest of his wares look like £1 land trinkets. I've seen his crap listed under detecting finds before. If it sells its quickly replaced with identical stock. That silly MCL crucifix has sold a few times. Definitely a con man.

I'm pleased to hear you like too C. I've always been a big fan of the early milled coppers. Here's another 1699 also recently bought. This may or may not be the 'no stop after Gvlielmvs' variety, I can't say for sure. Either way, original planchet flaw aside, its in much better condition than is usually seen, particularly the reverse which is often poorly detailed even on decent examples. The slight double striking is fun too.

Lmao at the beach pebble, you gave me a chuckle!!

If you buy them all to resell Declan why not just not bother with hammered and stick to what you know best.

Utter scumbag. Tomgoodheart on the forum (Richard) is your man in the know on CH 1 1/- 's.There are better fakes about so tread carefully or buy from trusted dealers.
