It sounds like an issue with the content if it is just affecting .PDFs and not other formats. Have a look here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file You should be able to change the default program to open .PDFs to Adobe Reader rather than Firefox. -
This guy does a good job of telling the truth somewhere in his description, be prepared to scroll.

HistoricCoinage replied to mitchellman's topic in Beginners area
Looks very crude from the blurry photos above. Intrigued to find out more. -

Not a hammered coin but likely a medieval/post-medieval token: http://finds.org.uk/database/images/index/q/lead+token -
A very Happy New Year to all!

You're only missing the naivity of eBay buyers.

Anybody bought acoin from galata?
HistoricCoinage replied to Jordan0693's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've bought a couple over the years but have bought mainly books from them and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone. Very friendly and trustworthy people, in my opinion. -
10 years and Happy Xmas
HistoricCoinage replied to Peter's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
A very Merry Christmas to one and all on this great forum. -
Definite repro.

Are you interested in Arabic coins in general or is there a more specific aspect you intend to focus upon? I can send you a bibliography more focused towards examining them in Viking contexts if you so wish.

best places to buy coins
HistoricCoinage replied to Jordan0693's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
There's Cambridge Coins that isn't in Cambridge...or Cambridgeshire... But it is close, just over in Bedfordshire. Then there's Gannochy Coins, but I wouldn't recommend them as the two times I've been in there I've been treated rather rudely - it's pretty central in Cambridge, not far from Sidney Street Sainsbury's in the back corner of a cycle shop. There's also Cambridgeshire Coins which I've no dealings with so do not know what they're like. -

Bloomin' gorgeous.

Late to the party but I do agree that it looks to be a 2.

HistoricCoinage replied to Coinery's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Hmm. Thought the seller looked familiar... Looks like me deliberately buying the first fake didn't help stem things as this is now three from the same seller. -
IDENTIFYING AN ENTIRE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR HOARD ...

Can't believe I missed out this - that'll teach me to take a leave of absence. -
Rare but holed Charles Exeter shilling
HistoricCoinage replied to Doctor's topic in British Hammered
I'd be careful about sending this coin to be repaired to the States as I'd not be satisfied that they have enough experience repairing hammered coins. There are a few people in the UK who have done good jobs - it might be worth talking to a few dealers about this first. -
A large proportion of medieval markets were on beaches. Always a good place to scout a hammy.

That's an aVF in my book and worth far more than £300...

This looks to be a class 10cf2 penny. It's technically Edward II but most references class it as Edward I. The obverse legend reads: "+EDWA R ANGL DNS HYB".

Pobjoy Mint
HistoricCoinage replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I must admit their bullion can be attractive, but I still wouldn't purchase it for myself unless cheap.
