My shilling. I think what drew me to it at the time was the portrait. It got over shadowed when I eventually bought a Milled Briot Sixpence.
-
Beautiful piece. Touchpieces are definitely holed coins worth owning.
-
Same lol. Mine was a York shilling of Charles I that I feel I overpaid on. I also have a milled Elizabeth sixpence that has a very small filled hole in it but i got that for a reasonable price at the time. The other two are a Gun money sixpence & a commonwealth penny but both them were under £10 if my memory is correct.

They are all good English coins. One is a class 4b of Richard that I can make out two are also Henry III. The Walter one is John (6a) & ADAH ( Adam) one is 7b3. I was wrong about the other one i feel. I agree with the initial assessment from Coys55 that it is a new 7a3 find. Apologies to all for any confusion I may have caused.

Ukstu started following King Stephen Penny. Help to identify mint?, Holed but very rare silling, Penny Henry III. and and 2 others

Agree with other poster's. It's difficult to price holed coins they don't appeal to everyone either. I have a few holed coins that I regret buying in my early day's of collecting. I'll probably put them on eBay in the future and see where the bidding goes but i expect to be disappointed. I definitely overpaid for one of them.
-
That has to be a troll post lol. Classic.
-
Something else that i noticed but forgot to put in my original post. The mouth. Its usually made up of 3 small crescents . Two on top , one on the bottom. That looks like half a circle with a line under it.
-
Glad you thought that as well. It jumped out at me straight away.It gave me a migraine scrutinising it lol.
-
I wonder if its a continental imitation ? Few things seem odd. The hair ringlets merging into the crown and the angle they are on plus the letter R in Henric and the shape of last E in Lunde and rough cut initial cross. Maybe its just me though. Nice find either way and definitely an interesting one.
-
I trust your judgement more than i do mine.I don't profess to be sufficient with identification of these , short cross are more my thing. I have a few long cross that are not marked up fully or are most likely incorrect from when i first started out collecting.
-
Thanks Stu. It was the shape of the letter C. I thought it looked pointed backed. I actually had it marked down as 10cf3 but i wasn't 100% sure.
-
One of mine. Mule ? Reverse is 11b obverse looks earlier.

King Stephen / Anarchy Period Penny? ID Help

There is coins from the Carlisle mint that were possibly struck under the Scots that have a right sided sceptre. Not sure if that's what you've got or something that's double struck.The coins from that period were a mess. https://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital BNJ/pdfs/2013_BNJ_83_6.pdf -
It's a bit of a long shot but you could search the Fitzwilliam Corpus for a die match. There was quite a few Rodberts at a number of mints. You could just look through all the Rodberts for that coin type that struck at all the mints or concentrate on certain mints. London likely being the most common. I've had matches of half and quarter pennies so it's possible. https://emc.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/advanced-search
