Another unlisted one. Sadly it's in sold listings on ebay. But worth noting down for reference if you like that sort of thing Reads Her instead of Hen on the obverse. Think its class 1b1 Rodbert at Winchester.

There has been a few halfs on ebay recently that are not listed as Rhuddlan. Sellers are just listing them as Short cross coins with incorrect class details because they are unaware of the mint. Keep an eye out. They seem to be listed as buy it now though so you've got to check regularly or they get snapped up by ppl in the know. Stu.

Good eye Jerry. That didn't even register with me when i looked at it lol. I was reading the D as an E like a divvy. Stu.

Hopefully not lol. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞

I managed on Sunday to get a whole example of a half I've had for year's. Sweating now waiting for it to arrive 😆

Spotted this on Ebay. It was in the sold listings. Its got the 1 3 5 crown and reversed N we see on Rhuddlan coins but i cannot match the reverse. It's probably a mistrike of some sort but interesting enough to keep a note of.

Looks promising Stu. Goodluck !

Most due to the size were probably lost not long after they were cut especially the quarter cut ones. They have become more common on the collector's market in the past 20 year's due to better metal detectors. I tend to pick them up in lots. I only bid on individual cut coins when i can ID them as being different or from rarer mints. Class 5a coins have a reversed S so if i see them or a 4c with a reversed S i will buy them if they are not whole and the S is visible. I have a half cut of Chichester mint which is not an easy mint to get a whole coin for plus a few Rhuddlan halfs. This is one that i was able to die match using Mass / Slevin to Ravl at London mint. What makes it different is the Square E which is not usually seen on class 1b1 coins. It's little things like that which i tend to look out for when collecting cut coins. Stu.

Bit later in my opinion H. Its giving Class 5c - 6a vibes based on the lettering style and what i can see of the beard strokes. The S as well with the little tails & lack of pellet in the middle of it.

Not the best example but an unusual pairing. Withers 411 Bradford Workhouse counterstamp on a Samuel Fereday Bilston token.

If anyone is still after this let me know i have a digital copy you can have. Stu.

Trying to correctly ID this coin to its subclass. So far I've got Randvlf at ilchester mint class 3. I can't decide if its IM 3 or IM 4. The Initial mark is cut through. The limbs look less pointy than IM 3 and more rounded i think but not 100 % sure. I know there is two types of IM 4 one is Horizontal the other Vertical according to Rod Blunts website. I think i can rule 3bc out as ENR is not ligated. Any ideas ? Thanks. Stu

Sifting through my bits and bobs and came across this one. Not listed in any books that i can find so one to mark down. Maybe a complete example will turn up one day who knows. Its a 1a4 obverse with the Seriffed X and a 1a3 reverse with a nice square E. Hvnfrei at York mint.

It is rough but i think there is enough information to identify it. I can read VND + PIE i think. Which would make it Pieres at London Mint. Spink guide shows Pieres & Pieres M minting at London during class 1 under Henry II. Stu.

Yes that's the guy .

Yes as paddy said Play money. Made by Lauer. https://en.numista.com/311988?__cf_chl_tk=SkFhvm769DxgmHJNvQicb7RXHlVjQnK2fiMqA1ccGFw-1770787339-1.0.1.1-2955O2W6AK5Em8WqxPzo5Ya6D5aQdzCpREogYaEPDyg There used to be someone on here year's ago who collected it but i forget his name. Think he was a Dr. Stu.

It was more hardware limitations than digitally challenged. I was a computer technician & IT teacher in a previous life. Early 2000s anyway until approx 2009 . The scanner is from around 2015 so pretty old. My laptop died a few months ago but my daughter kindly gave me her old one which runs okay but everything seems to take forever with it. I upgraded the ram on it last year for her but it's not made much difference in regards to performance. Anyway i managed the scans , they where nowhere near 1200 dpi but they were adequate for what was needed. Stu.

It's already sorted. I emailed them over yesterday. Stu.

What a mission. Think I've managed it. I had limitations with the software not allowing me to scan over 300 dpi. Found a work around and finally after much crashing of my antiquated laptop trying to use the HP software i managed it. It set it to 1200 dpi as that was the highest it could go but the images do not look that great so i don't know. If you could send me a pm with an email address i will send them over. They are 3 mb each. Not going to chance reducing the quality on here to 500kb to get them on as they will look awful and be of no use. If they are no good i will have to try and catch a window of opportunity with the sun to photograph them. We had roughly 25 mins of sun today before it went black again Stu.

No problem. I do have a scanner. Hp Evny 4525. Think it's up to the job. I will dig it out and dust it off and scan it for you tommorow. Thank you for taking the time to look at it. Stu.

Here is the link to the other one i posted. It was one i spotted on ebay while looking around at other forgeries to see if i could find a die match to mine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/277566687748

This is the reverse. Apologies for the image it was the best i could do at the minute without natural daylight.

One to isolate and keep away from your other coins. Giving me Bronze disease vibes. I wonder if it's a contemporary forgery.

That's sad. I lost my mum to a brain tumour in 2021. By the time she was diagnosed it was stage 4. Three months she lived from diagnosis to passing away. Affected us all deeply. Thank you for replying. I look forward to seeing your future research when you are publishing your findings. Stu.
