Stu his site Petitioncrowns will give an insight to Geoff.It humbles my collection.He will & be dearly missed.He told me that he once sold his house to buy a coin that he had to have. Hopefully he can find Mrs Peter in heaven to prove I'm not the only coin nerd on the planet.

It is with deep regret that I have to announce the loss of a forum member. I was informed yesterday afternoon that Geoffrey Cope, aka Petitioncrown on the forum has passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer. Geoff was a passionate collector of Roman coins and those of the British Isles, who had sought only the best pieces for over 50 years. His enthusiasm for acquiring new pieces was undiminished right up to a couple of weeks before his death. For a few years now, his stated mission was that if he could inspire 10 people a year to collect coins, then he had done his bit to make the hobby safe for the future. It is fair to say that a quick perusal of his website should inspire anyone interested in history and art to collect coins. As a great supporter and patron of all things numismatic, frequently making items from his collection available to museums in order that they should be available to a wider audience, his death is a loss to the wider hobby. My thoughts are with his two sons and their families at this time.

aint found any hammered for a bit, found this though a couple of weeks ago, head of a tudor pin, silver gilt, filigree, have gridded the are but not found the missing pin

Just arrived. Sorry pics a little naff but you can see it at least Proof 1937 penny missing waves.

Desperately sad to lose a fellow lover of coins.

Hey, Gaz, c'mon, let's have your posts in the Hammered section, let's keep that area alive. It's good for Chris and good for the Hammered community as a whole! ?

Thanks Ian. a close up shot

That is a lovely looking coin, very good condition.

Don't know if this floats your boats guys Noble Numismatics auction 21-27 november 2017. Some real nice coins on offer hammered right the way through milled inc 1905 unc shilling est $1500. tad skinny i feel http://www.noble.com.au/auctions/search/?ar=1&c=39&g=Any%20grade&q=&e=Any%20estimate&p=1

Yes makes perfect sense, I'm sure if I see it again I will know thanks again.

Thanks UKstu. I can see it now, some of the the letters are joined.

It wasn't meant to be the full exact mint name, they couldn't fit it all on so it was abbreviated. I make it as IOH/OHS’/EDM/VHD which i suppose would translate as Ion at St edmunds so it would be SEDMUND as what looks like an H is actually an N and the V is a U. Hope that makes sense.?

My thoughts are with his family at this time. His passion for Roman coins is not lost on me.

Sad news. Condolences to his family.

Very sorry to learn of this. My deepest condolences to his family.

Another bloody one! Reported it!. Getting fed up of seeing these now. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/hammered-coins/162738646034

IMO, that was a planchet flake off another coin that was off the obverse surface and then flipped and struck into this coin with subsequent "freeing" of the fragment. The planchet of this coin ought to weigh close to the 9.4 gm standard.

I saw the serial number before the Penny. I think I need to change forums

Yup, F33. Take a look at my varieties website (below) to help with identifying obverse/reverse varieties.

Yes I am probably suffering due to not enough light . That picture was in my room with the lights off and one small clip on spotlight on my pc desk shining down on my knees lol . So it probably struggled for detail. Normally light isn't so much a problem its the pics with more than one coin and all the reflections and shooting through plastic pages. I just hate to list coins I know are 10x better than the pics show. But sometimes the coins behave and still still for a few seconds
