Citizen H

Happy Friday, so I do try to find these in order, a order maybe beginning to settle...... maybe??? yesterday I found 3 James I errrrmmm shillings? these will follow on and I need to confess the James I look like they've been looked at during the time spent with me and I have a indication what information has already been discovered about them.... I save these for later as it looks like an interesting one, so.. George III 1819 George IIII 1821 Crowns... I very nearly posted this as George III Crowns, I did check the dates and who was around, aha! correction G III & G IIII Rubbed and bashed? any ideas as to the values would be use.... Also1819 was a very turbulent and unsettled time in England: The Peterloo Massacre took place at St Peter's Field, Manchester, Lancashire, England, on Monday 16 August 1819. Eighteen people died and 400–700 were injured when cavalry charged into a crowd of around 60,000 people who had gathered to demand the reform of parliamentary representation. Blood Heck Sabres at Dawn !

the obverse

Wow, the workmanship is incredible, Busy..but incredible.... I'm sure I don't have have one... but I'm still working through them, Cheers "H"

Hello Paddy, I seem to think I had a period of luck finding these regularly I knew they were silver so was buying them up, it did make me wonder if it was a Half Crown so now Ive been corrected all of its its information is going onto a tag so I can keep everyone in the family updated. many thanks "H"

the obverse of both,

Hello, so with what's been talked about with my recent shown this hopefully might be right....... for your consideration I'd like to share with you King Charles I Shilling (12p) circa 1625 - 1649 its been sheared & buckled made at which mint ? I seem to recall this was a left over from a sale of a collection that had been broken, again it wouldn't have been that much. any ideas of its value will be greatly welcome. All the very best "H"

I really like the good side and at least there's continuous with in my collecting of coins, 🤣 its all history and I'm learning, Cheers "H"

Hello and thank you, I was left alone so I guess I felt for it, one half decent side is better than none... I keep looking and I do have some more to show so you never know......many thanks Rgds "H"

Firstly, Many thanks & apologies, Thank you goes without explaining, its a great help since all that I'm having to deal with since the stroke, Having the coins has been useful as I needed to focus on an interest and helps keep my head working and a nice distraction. Apologies, before it happens I hope that all I have shown over the last few days isn't becoming a plague of a misdirection and uninteresting gathers hoard that is I guess a magpie approach to formulating what could be loosely be called a collection. all I can now say is let see what we can do with this in the near future ......Really I do thank you for of this. so the first sheet was completed with 1 fake so far so good. enjoying the history lesson and being able to show what I've found over the years. these I think are pretty safe, 1676 Charles II Silver Crown 1892 Victoria Sliver Crown both are dinged and rubbed, the Victoria I really like the tone, the Charles it seems to have writing around the outer edge and Ive really just noted, is this just on this coin or other? your opinions will be really welcome, I can take the bad with the good / great news, if you happen to know the value please do tell.

I Really also like the tone to the 1892, so please these are correct, Many thanks "H"

Awwwww thats great to hear, I really thought i was on a downward turn with some of the others. historically I was just buying blind and a real magpie, this has been another real great help, really thank you all for the time taken and the input, Rgds "H"

the outer edge...

Well I never.... a Counterfeit living or occurring at the same time, I did go an have a look see CooooooooL! The Treason Act 1415 (4 Hen. 5. Stat. 1. c. 6) was an Act of the Parliament of England which made clipping coins high treason, punishable by death. (It was already treason to counterfeit coins. ) The act was repealed by the Treason Act 1553, and then revived again in 1562. The act originally only protected English coins, but was later extended in 1575 to cover foreign coins "current" within England........ Also..... Treason is perhaps the most infamous crime in English Legal History, due in part to the horrendous punishment that came with it but also due to its often strong political importance. The punishment that was often inflicted was the drawing of the traitor across rough ground by horse, he would then be hanged to within an inch of death, followed by being disembowelled, burnt, and beheaded. Your remaining carcass was cut into four pieces. The punishment of being hung, drawn and quartered has morbidly captured the public’s imagination for many centuries. Bloody heck!

obverse side,

Ah, no wasn't me, and yes kept just in case it comes in handy..... on one Sunday afternoon trudging around a hot field looking at stalls that are best described as one stop away a rubbish dump... I happen upon a paste table with carrier bags loaded with bones... turns out the fella is house clearance service and a loft at a doctors house was cleared, all sorts of medical equipment and.... stuff was sold. last knockings at 3pm find what you want and make an offer..... my kinda chat! so skull was sold to his mate and the rest had to go as his wife didn't want it back in the house...by order! so manage to find the right hand and with £3.20p to my name a deal was done!

Awwwwwwwwwwww! bummer! oh well 50p ventured nothing gained and hence why it was buried in a mix change lot, aww well another day...another dollar.... Many thanks for taking time out and updating whats wrong with the right, Rgds "H"

Today I'd like to share 2x six pence added, Ive really had a good look into these and hopefully these are right ish. 1566 Queen Elizabeth I six pence King Charles I. (Stuart (VI) six pence, CHRISTO AUSPICE REGNO “I reign with Christ as my protector" Reign 27 March 1625 – 30 January 1649 was a king of England, Scotland and Ireland, whose conflicts with parliament and his subjects led to civil war and his execution, beheaded in London, England, on January 30, 1649..... Wow! .

Awesome, it probably would have been boot car finds in the early 1990's, a few £ each, oh and I also picked up a Human hand for £3.20p Many thanks Stuart. I'm keeping a label with each of them so the next family member will at least be of interest for them.

Its a Figure of speech by me, "Cool Junk" I have many Items that I wouldn't part with and will be showing some items, I'm so interested in the coins that I have and how the heck was the coins trackable with so much going on? and really Many thanks for the help, I did get around to a close up of the 1571, hope fully this will help answer the question about the mint.

I forgot to mention, I did notice the tudor rose to the right of the coins with the faces dated 1591 & the 1571, interesting (for me as just only noticed)

Its been an enjoyable time picking up things over the years, worn out, rubbed and in normally a box of others that have been sift through by them who are farther better in the know... these i think were just planted there to sell on to the naive "these are worth a fortune !" I wouldn't have paid that much for them as I do like old, history and a good haggle! even for the scrap ?!?!?!. I would like to think that moving on with the show and tell some real Gem's will appear in this random and varied assembly of....Cool Junk! one story Sad but True! I was at an antiques fair talking to a medal dealer that I've know for ages, chap turns up and asks, "Do you buy coins mate?" Medal dealer, "I have done over the years, if you have them with you can I take a look?" a Large A4 Folder was plonked on a glass display cabinet with no consideration of the cabinet..... ok so MD open the first page and looks "ok!" turns page "ermmm" is this the same coin all the way through?" Chap says gleefully " Yes!!!" & I've another folder full of them!" MD says " Many thanks, not for me!" now at this point Chap gets a little irate "Whats the matter? Ive collected all of these since it was 1977! don't you want to make an offer???"........ it seems hes touted it around all the coin dealers (x2) and now chanced his arm with everyone else stalled up who may be interested in a job lot of 1977 Silver Jubilee Nickle coin. 40 years on (I think it was 2017) the chap believe that these were worth a fortune, I do understand why he was a bit miffed that they weren't worth anything after all the time and money he spent on them, I don't think his retirement plan had worked out as well as he had hoped,.............Sad but True. once again Stuart......Many thanks fella, rgds "H"

good morning, So Ive had a look and I think this may be right ? ? ? 2 x Penny's Edward III 1327-1377 Its still early days taking this all in, Stuart many thanks for all your guidance its been a great help. and do please keep me updated where its going wrong. I'm finding others that have dates on them and you can make out who the king is, aha! it will hopefully keep you all still interested. All the very best "H"

this place and wealth of knowledge is awesome, i can see I have a long way to go......but I'm at the right place! 58 and still learning carries on, many many thanks "H"
