adding to the pile of coppers that's mounting......Doh and aided with the Spink book, what's believed to be a ... Charles I, Farthing Copper 1625-1649..... what's you say?

I really cant remember when or where they came from...... 1st is a 1776, 1 Grano, Emmanuel De Rohan, Malta Coin, thats quite rare.......ish ? 2nd is a 1787 1 Duit, The Dutch East India Company, West Friesland I'm not sure if its because its copper..? I'd be more interested in these if it was silver coins...Sorry! coppers just don't sing to me.... 🤷

errmmmm... I found this amongst my hoard, if its of interest? Again apart from its a half penny, GIV, dated 1827... not much more to say

unless told otherwise, nothing special or fancy......🤔

Hello Jerry, Number 1, yes you was correct its a, Belgium, +NAM[ ] suggests it is a continental copy of a sterling penny, minted by William of Namur (Belgium) between 1377 and 1391.... its very satisfying finding out what a coin actually is. 👍 many thanks one and all. "H"

over the weekend many hours spent comparing images in the Spink Coins of England & the united kingdom book...... the copper farthing is very worn and disfigured after waying up a realising it was going to be a tough call.... I have decided that its Charles I, Copper Farthing, 1625-1649..... fortunately I haven't found any more amongst the hoard....and will be putting the hammered to one side until I've read up more..... many thanks "H" 👍

He was born at the family mansion, Englefield House, near Reading, Berkshire, I was Born In Reading and lived 12 miles away, I grew up near a manor house that was empty and a mates mum was a caretaker, we snuck off and found a room full of floor to ceiling shelfs...? we climbed them and went around the room without touching the floor...... Turns out it was a library, owned by Alexander Pope the poet ...... that was a childhood memory I never forgot when I found out who it was owned by......

Well I Never....... I really haddent spotted the Star, I was quite close when thinking S1391, Edward I, London, ..... a look see on Rod Blunts web page, and found........ Type 9b (c.1299 - 1300/01) - Spink 1408, North 1037/1 Coins of type 9b are divided into two varieties. 9b1 has the same crown as 9a2, but a new letter S, which is not top-tilted. 9b2 has a new crown with a straight-sided right side-fleur. Both varieties often have a star on the breast, and similar lettering. The letter A is usually unbarred, C and E are round, N is normal, unbarred, or frequently of pothook form, S is non-composite........ Its beginning to make sense, However I can see there's lots more to understand, Stuart as always Many Many Thanks for the direction.... Cheers "H"

Hello...... Spink book arrived and has been ........interesting, 👍 reading can be difficult and I tire quickly. most Hammered coins are easy to understand with the book until........ the Edwards need deciphering...... any guidance in regards to the Edwards would be helpful as they all start looking the same.. laying the coin on the page it looks like it may be..... S1391....? what do you think?? 🤔 Looking through what I've already had Identified I note that there's no Edward II....so far.

Henry III Penny. 1250-72, Class 5g ROB ERT ONC ANT. Moneyer Robert at the Canterbury mint. ( Thank you Stuart for yesterdays explanation, 👍) Reading up on this I found Phase III was mention, no explanation as to why............?

I do like a countermark albeit Silver, this was dismissed by others years ago as it was stamped and unwanted as they were viewed as devalued, glad I kept mine. 👍

Ahhhhhh!.... I did pick up on the NIC / OLE I was trying for the on LVNDE or something like CIVI / TAZ. Stuart helped me out with this 👍Its a learning curve and beginning to pick up on such as hENRY III, ah and The Coins Of England book is on its way ........, many thanks all for the help its greatly appreciated, "H"
