£175 with 30 days to go for a VF penny catalogued (in 2004) at £40 seems strange - unless there are a lot of people out there with bags of Chrismas present money (or refunds)

Anniversary of Sovereign £2
Geordie582 replied to Geordie582's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
O.K.! Found it! Top of page 483 in my copy. The picture is small enough to be overlooked! Thanks folks! Still haven't seen any on ebay or other sites, though! -
Anniversary of Sovereign £2
Geordie582 posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've decided to put this subject in it's own Topic as I am seriously puzzled. They do not appear in Spinks and I haven't seen them mentioned anywhere else. Can anyone throw light on this? £2 Sovereign Anniversary obverse £2 Sovereign Anniversary reverse Sorry about the obverse, but Coincraft is not an easy book to manipulate on the scanner! By the way the reverse is type 5 not 4 as I originaly said. -
Anniversary of Sovereign £2
Geordie582 replied to Geordie582's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
My Spinks is 2004 issue and it does not appear, so that may explain it. Although I'm still puzzled that I have never seen one, even on ebay? Any idea for the omission from the 2004 Spinks? -
A Broad of Charles I ?
Geordie582 replied to simon's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yep! It's listed in Coincraft as being struck in gold, silver, tin and pewter as a Unite ( Page 687, C1PT-020) Incidentally, while looking up 'Broad' in this book I spotted a milled £2 of our present queen that I didn't know existed! It certainly not listed in Spinks. It's quoted as being with head 4 and reverse 3, "Anniversary of the gold sovereign". Anyone know of it ever appearing? -
No.1 No.2 No.3 Can anyone explain these, quoted as "in hand"?
-
That would be a bit difficult for me .... I'm a hammered collector!
-
The only modern coins I collect are the £5's on a price for price basis. Any other must come from change
-
Well! You've got to give them credit for trying A Necklace for you
-
How about a book on hammered English next.Chris?

Small collection - no idea on value
Geordie582 replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The first coin seems to be an Elizabeth I shilling of the sixth issue, mint mark 1 and in that condition (fair/fine) I'd say it was worth about £20 in auction. A lot depends upon who wants it on the day! -
E-bay (again)
Geordie582 replied to Geordie582's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I note, with amusement, that the obverse is not shown and it is described as "looks like Elizabeth 1st". It netted £ 118.04. Even the Mari Theresa is probably a modern production! - unless the buyer knows something? -
Anything on the reverse?
-
Very interesting - but stupid!
-
I agree,Peter, You cannot be dogmatic with the earlier hammered. There will always be differences of opinion in the field, and long may it continue!
-
P.S. Coincraft is a wealth of information but the pictures are crap!
-
Checking "Coincraft" I thought Class 4C more likely. "'Quote'- As previous (Larger Letters and wider crown), but larger face with much more hair, comma abbreviation marks and thick waisted 'S' in obverse legend'". I realise there is only one comma abbreviation mark on the obverse, but all the rest fits!?

1843 half farthing

The person that comes up with a sure way to get rid of verdigris will be worth a fortune! -
I find that Word is as good as any. I download pictures of the coin, obverse and reverse, then add the details below. Keeping to A5, I can get 3 coins per page and, if I use 90gm paper or heavier, I can print both sides and produce a 'Catalogue' of all my collection. It is easy to update as I use a loose leaf folder to hold it.

Trying to identify three 'Edwards'
Geordie582 replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think it has been said many times on the forum, buy books first, then coins. Knowledge gives you the edge and also helps prevent that 'dud' purchase! -
What got you into collecting in the first place?
Geordie582 replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Believe it or not! I found an Edward I penny in VF in the sand on the beach in - North Scotland!!! I still puzzle about it today, 50 years on! -

Trying to identify three 'Edwards'
Geordie582 replied to a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It's heavily clipped, usual for the minor coins of the period, but would appear to be a farthing and could be Class 1A of Edward I, but realistically, with the few decipherable letters, could be any of the Edwards. Weight should be around 0.3-0.4gms for a farthing and 0.6gms for a halfpenny - given the clipping! -
