    Recent Hammered Acquisitions

    The long cross is a class 3a1. Quite rare as not many were found in the Brussels hoard apparently (only 5) of that type. Information on the link i posted above. Stu.

    The long cross is Huge on Norwich. I am no good with classification of these. It's an early one with no sceptre.(class 3? ) Try looking on here for further details http://www.henry3.com

    The short cross is a Henry III. Looks like one of the class 7c,s by the portrait. Moneyer probably Nichole. That's as much as i can see.

    Edward I Bristol Farthing

    Very nice Stu. Rare to see a farthing of that ruler in a good condition. I tend to shy away from them as they are so hard to find in good condition. Hats off a nice find!

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I saw that. The commonwealth sixpence he flogged looked iffy , not right. He's definitely got at least one shill bidder working with him whose posting positive feedback. Either that or one very thick collector whose shelled out a grand on phoney coins.

    Probably a waste of time but please report this. Look at his feedback, he's making a small fortune from these "Siege pieces" or is he ? .I think we've reported this scumbag before on numerous occasions. He must be the luckiest guy on earth with all these "siege pieces" he's finding. Could be shill bidders also. It's the same buyers winning his stuff and the feedbacks really phoney and arse kissy possibly a fake feedback scam to sucker people into believing these fraud pieces are legit. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Newark-hammered-siege-coin/162959699520

    Thank you. I've tried the contact approach and got threatened and abused so it's not something i am keen on. We must be doing something right as we got rid of the commonwealth wrl shilling i posted. Haven't tried the ASA yet! I hadn't noticed it to be honest.

  13. I think after almost 10 years he's probably given up on this one 🤔

    Ebay just gets spookier n spookier by the day. What will people trade / sell for a £. Have they no morals? Probably dug up! What no provenance ! Good collectable condition with signs of wear! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Ancient-Artefacts-Tooth-Barb-Tanged-Flint-Arrow-Head-Scraper-A122/382411154514

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    I did voluntary work once in a charity shop. Some of the other volunteers and staff were like vultures rifling through bags for the good stuff and keeping it themselves to sell online. I imagine it's commonplace in other charity shops.

    John/Henry III

    Chichester was only operating for around a year 1205/06. That's why coins of that mint are rare.

    John/Henry III

    Yes sorry. It's all mints. I think the dies were made at London & Winchester .
  20. Ukstu

    John/Henry III

    It's all class 5b3 coins. A broken punch was used to create the dies. Once you notice it you'll always be able to definitely tie a coin down to a 5b3 even if other details are worn or missing.

    John/Henry III

    John. Class 5b3. Rauf at Chichester . Notice the broken eye punches. Excellent find. A hard mint to crack. Great condition too. 👍

    more FAKES

    Looks like a Roman coin to me. Right facing Emperor. Could be Barbarous the crown doesn't look right. Tetricus? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarous_radiate

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    What a nightmare!! Not coin related but eBay related. Decided to try my hand at jewellery making. Ordered a high spec torch nozzle off eBay. Found it via Google search engine. Seller based in Manchester. Buys it. This morning a hedge trimmer arrives as a gift from Amazon. WTF !!! is my reaction who'd gift me a hedge trimmer i don't even have a hedge. Only item outstanding was the torch. I then take a proper look at the seller. Hes got neg lots of it for lying as he's based in Israel and not Manchester. He's also got lots of neg for drop shipping off Amazon. I ring ebay they start a return on my behalf. The address label's gobble de gook. Tel aviv Israel Buckinghamshire. eBay now won't step in to refund me until the deadline of the 14. The guys got loads of negs for not responding to cases or emails so this isn't going to be resolved quickly. The moral of the story anyway is if you use google to search for a product check the sellers feedback before you buy instead of just seeing the price & location and clicking buy. Fuming! 😠
