Henry III Penny - what Class?
Geordie582 replied to Stechlin's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It's a poser! The only difference Coincraft shows between 5A & 5B are a filled in eye!!! The text claims that 5B has a narrower face but, even with a ruler, their examples are identical. Your coin shows the 'filled-in' eye but that may be wear. However Spinks seperates the two with A having a ball tail to the R and B having a wedge tail. On this division, your coin appears to be the latter, 5B. You pays your money and takes your choice! So I doubt you will ever be absolutely certain! -
The only reference I can find is for a silver coin. Obverse CORNELIA SUPERA Wife of Aemilian circa 253AD Reverse VESTA Noted byRichard Plant in his 'Roman Silver Coins' as very rare and expensive. BUT Your coin looks bronze, which makes it a copy of some sort. Probably a petrol station give-a-way!

So that's what the new decimal UK coins are going to be like....
Geordie582 replied to hertfordian's topic in Decimal Coins
Oh! Dear! As an avid anti-euroist, I'm very afraid this will change me to "Let's join the Euro ----PLEASE" I'm now regretting collecting all the decimal series British coins. Ah! Well! Back to my beloved hammered. -
It's not the loss of the queens head I'd be bothered with - it's what this mob would replace it with!

You mean something like this?

As a Daily Mail reader (I find all other tabloids frivolous and the broadsheets pompous - and I find the puzzles entertaining), and a fervent believer in protecting what little we have left of 'Britishness', I would just like to say - it would be nice if our lords & masters thought to do what the populace want - just for a change!

Electronic Bidding on E-bay
Geordie582 posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Have you noticed the increasing use of electronic automatic bidding on E-bay? I was watching a Richard I penny today, that was at £41 for the last few days and up to only <1minute to go, when the price suddenly reached £68! I reckon it is probably the future of purchasing in auctions. -
Electronic Bidding on E-bay
Geordie582 replied to Geordie582's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I'm afraid I'm a bit staid in bidding. I see a coin, decide how much I can afford (not necessarily how much it's worth) and leave it at that. If I don't get an e-mail saying I've won, then I just try to forget it (not always easy!) -
Diana The London Mint Office is at it again. But don't you think they could have found a better image of Diana for their latest offering? How old does she look? No prizes but I think 49!

"New Crown"
Geordie582 replied to Geordie582's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Because coins of the series I save are scarce (or expensive) I must admit to saving the crown size series (from Victoria). This means I have to slavishly buy all new issues Never mind. I will probably put the lot on fleabay as a collection someday! -
For the starters in our midst. If you are thinking of one of these, make sure you read the very miniscule writing just above the application form. These are NOT legal tender in the UK. They are for Tristan de Cuhna.

Hi! Joe. You could also go back in history a bit and try Hammered! Just kidding! I never could understand the 'milled' crew! But 'horses for courses'

Anglo Saxon Pennies
Geordie582 replied to cedarhurt's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I wondered about the small number of registered posts! A recent change? -
Anglo Saxon Pennies
Geordie582 replied to cedarhurt's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
If those are genuine, they are the best examples I have seen. Are they registered with the authorities? YOC would be the best man to answer your query, as he saves those. -
Yeh! Happy New Year. Perhaps everyone was celebrating early - and have'nt yet surfaced
-
But what you didn't realise is that the laptop came with the coin. Now if that were true I'd really be miffed!

Damn! I missed it!

Monthly Coin Magazines
Geordie582 replied to Kronos's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I ran a 'Rallying News' back in the 50/60's when I was active in the sport. The first flush was great - plenty of people to offer news, information & ideas. Within a year all that had dried up and I was left to fill in with cartoons & jokes. So it is never as easy as people think - right Chris? -
Monthly Coin Magazines
Geordie582 replied to Kronos's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I tried Coin Monthly for a year, but cancelled my subscription because, like a lot of forums, seemed to be stuck post 1600's with a few Greek & Roman to try to show a wide span of cover. Not useful to a hammered collector I used the Coin Clinic but was disappointed with the results. -
I can reccommend Chris, too! But he is in Germany! Try the address given above, you don't have to accept any offer immediately, you can come back to the forum and discuss it with us! (No hammered coins in there by any chance?) You couls also find dealers via the coin fair in Birmingham as discussed on the thread "Coin Clubs & Fairs'.

Great picture! Pity it's not what you get!

Celtic Coin Index
Geordie582 replied to Geordie582's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes! I do know of Wildwinds but I was just wondering how far the Index had progressed. I was trying to list all Celtic types known. -
Anyone tried to access the Celtic Coin Index lately? I've been trying for a couple of days, not for anything specific, just interest, and am getting "Site not available". Celtic Coin Index Link
