Why do you collect coins?

and the others will not be worth that much...

that would probably be a George II Half penny...£12 for fine... that makes it a penny, a one penny coin...not worth much...

i do not collect american coins; mostly because it is far easier for me to get English coins, and i do not like the fact that America has no monarche...

get all pennies from 1797 - 1967 including 1933, 1952 and 1954. and i would probably try to complete the oliver cromwell coinage...

i would not want to go to jail and loose my coins

i would kill (not literally) for a 1841 silver proof penny...

i can get reasonable pictures, maybe a tripod would help me keep the camera still...

yes, i followed the link for the images...

A rare 1807 King George III Copper Penny where Britannia is upside down (on the back of the coin). Rare...i dont think it is that rare... If holding the coin where King George III is upright you would expect to rotate the coin over to the other side to see the top of Britannia on the reverse of the top of King George III. However, this coin features the bottom of Britannia to the top of King George III's head. i wouldent expect this to happen...

there are many books with information about the coinage of Edward III and other monarchs...and also the internet can be a good way to find info... these are 3 examples of edward III groats: one two three but i do not collect hammered coinage, so i cannot really give much information... google is a good way to find info...

on page 162 of spink it gives information about the third coinage (1344-51) for gold. on page 165 it gives Firstcoinage (1327-35) for silver. so it does go earlier then 1351... Edward IV starts on page 191...

sorry about length...(copied) History of the Maundy ceremony: The present-day Maundy ceremony has evolved over the centuries and bears little relationship to the original rites to which it owes its origins. A fundamental aspect of the original Maundy service was the washing of the feet of the poor, which has its origins in Jesus' washing of the feet of the Disciples at the Last Supper. In early ceremonies, senior clergymen would wash the feet of lower clergy, while in other ceremonies, the washing would be done by someone higher up the hierarchical order. King Edward II Edward II, (April 25, 1284- September 21, 1327), of Caernarvon; king of England, the fourth son of Edward I of England by his first wife Eleanor of Castile, was born at Caernarfon Castle. The story that the king presented the newborn child to the Welsh as their future native prince is unfounded. Its earliest appearance was in the work of a 16th century Welsh "antiquary", David Powel. In fact, Edward was only made Prince of Wales in the Lincoln Parliament of February 7, 1301. Edward was, however, the first English prince to hold the title. .....

(1307-1327) seems to be the first English monarch to have been recorded actively taking part in the ceremony, although King John King John (December 24, 1167 - October 19, 1216) was King of England from 1199 to 1216. He was the youngest brother of King Richard I who was known as "Richard the Lionheart". Nicknames are "Lackland" (in French, sans terre) and "Soft-sword". John is best known for angering the barons to rebellion, so that they forced him to agree to the Magna Carta in 1215, and then signing England over to the Pope to get out of the promises he made in that Great Charter. The truth, however, is that he was no better or worse a king than his immediate predecessor or his successor (which is still not much of a compliment). ..... Click the link for more information.

He was born at Windsor as the son of King Edward II of England and Isabella of France. Unfortunately, Edward II was a weak king and aroused ill-feeling by his dependence on favourites. The neglected queen, Isabella, and her lover, Roger Mortimer, imprisoned and murdered Edward II, taking up the reins of government themselves during the minority of the heir. Edward III was crowned on January 25, 1327 after reaching majority and was declared King of France on January 26, 1340. ..... Click the link for more information.

As there is no difference in the design or weight between pre and post 1971 coins, it was uniquely decided to revalue all pre-decimal Maundy coins back to 1822 at the equivalent value in new pence, i.e. the face value of each coin was increased by a factor of 2.4 overnight. All Maundy coins, back to 1822, remain legal tender in Britain at their stated value in new pence.

for spink: there are different departments at spink, so each department looks at a paricular type eg: bronze department looks at bronze etc...but i do not know if that is correct...

No it doesn't, I don't believe they made cases for them back then, as they were probably intended to be spent. I could be wrong. No one actually knows when Maundy stopped being a thing for the poor, and became an annual thing for the pomp. i think i read somewhere that it was eather early 1800's or early 1900's, but i cannot remember...

and yes, it is only worth £2.00 if it has never reached circulation...

marigold dubois; firstly, well done for choosing to ask in this forum...the coin you have is a commemorative crown, it commemorates winston chirchill. this coin was the last crown produce before decimaliseation, it was the 3rd crown made in the reign of our current monarch Queen elizabeth II...hope this helps
