Oh, wow. I like that. I like that a lot! How many targets have you hit with this collection so far? -

How much tipple have you had, Peter? It's not even Sunday lunch yet! -
Cut Hammered Prices
HistoricCoinage replied to Generic Lad's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
That is true, a guideline as to rough amounts would be helpful. So people know which is worth selling individually and what's not. I don't like looking through the listings of plain, old cut halves on eBay when they're standard Nicole on Canterbury... -
Cut Hammered Prices
HistoricCoinage replied to Generic Lad's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
A cut half of a Saxon or Norman monarch will retain more of its value than a Henry III Longcross, for example. However, as has been mentioned, it is all dependent upon the eye appeal and rarity. A cut half of Ilchester for Henry III will go for far more than one of Canterbury and the same can be said for rarity of monarch and class, too. A catalogue would be nigh on impossible as there are just so many variations that the catalogue would be mammoth in size and pretty much worthless. -
Lockdales!
HistoricCoinage replied to Coinery's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
A few bits here and there. Nothing of note but there were some nice Saxon and Norman pieces, and a couple of shortcrosses that I wouldn't have minded. How did you fare? -

Well, that didn't go as well as I'd have liked. -

Reiterating what other people have said here, I'm sure that many members on here would be willing to pay a fair price for some of your books. Do you have a list available? -

It's good to see Vern's website being used as a reference of sorts. -

Fascinating stuff! I, too, am also intrigued and Stuart has raised some interesting questions. As usual, superb presentation. -
Pillar Dollar ? other ? Advice requested.
HistoricCoinage replied to Paulmanta's topic in Beginners area
A quick bit of research rules out HMS Association as this was in 1707 whereas the date on your coin is 1740. The Dutch East Indiaman Hollandia shipwreck of 1743 is very likely as many pillar dollars were recovered from the Isles in 1971. -
Pillar Dollar ? other ? Advice requested.
HistoricCoinage replied to Paulmanta's topic in Beginners area
Pillar Dollar is the correct term for these, rather than a pillow or a piller. Yours seems to have a wonderful sentimental link, you must be pleased you rediscovered it. -
Happy Birthday Paulus!

Happy birthday, Paulus! -
Same. They're great. I bought mine here for half the price though...

Piedfort Proof Silver Coins
HistoricCoinage replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've bought a few as part of collections or when I've seen them cheaply. I'd much prefer a hammered piedfort, though. -
Glad to see you back, Mongo!

I think I'll have to sell all my Suffragette ones, too!

A blast from the past
HistoricCoinage replied to Gary D's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
As an archaeologist myself I disagree with your interpretation of Evans restoring the site. When I first visited the site I was shocked as he has merely reconstructed the site with many of the styles based upon unsubstantial evidence and using new material. I don't think he should have left it as a pile of rubble but, unless properly recorded an imaginative reconstruction should not take place. But, back to coins, that is a phenomenally good repair! -

1664 traders token farthing help
HistoricCoinage replied to scott's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I've got a nice token of Guildford, a town close to my heart, and know that Thomas Tompson and Thomas Wilmot tokens are fairly common. However, I haven't seen any with this design.
