    I would recognise those initials anywhere!

    Very nice find! Thanks for sharing.

    I don't speak with authority on these types but they are very much indicative of Roman issues.

    Looks like a Venetian soldino, but 6mm too large...

    It's of Henry VIII's First Coinage and so dates between 1509-26. A picture of the other side would help determine grade and, thus, value.

    Very nice addition, Matteo!!
  7. HistoricCoinage
    It's definitely a coin. Looks to be something like a Portuguese sixty reis coin from the 18th century. What is its diameter?
  8. HistoricCoinage
    Beautiful pieces!

    If you can post images someone here might be able to help.

    We had copper alloy issues in the Northumbrian kingdom (not the most beautiful of coinages...), but otherwise Colin is right in that we don't see any real copper until James I.

    I'd gladly put money on it being a modern replica.

    I use the Lighthouse/Leuchtturm and find them perfect for my needs.

    Have a look here, Descartes.

    'Good clear markings' being WRL, I assume? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Henry-VIII-Groat-/322017132600?
  15. HistoricCoinage
    Done. Best of luck with your studies.

    I'd also like to share Robert Page's site - it's definitely worth bookmarking: http://www.henry3.com/

    I really love these milled issues. They look so good in hand that they almost look fake... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Extremely-fine-1st-milled-issue-1562-sixpence-Elizabeth-1st-coin-/141890217073?hash=item210950e471:g:4NYAAOSwvUlWq1cp

    Elizabeth I Shilling, looks to be initial mark Escallop making this the Sixth Issue coinage and minted 1584-1586. Nice find, and not often pierced for secondary use in this period.

    I have a Victorian cabinet that I bought from Malcolm Ellis years ago and a Nichols 'Crozier' I got at an auction. They're both fantastic and I combine them with capsules - great way to store them if you've got a large space in a bank vault.
  20. HistoricCoinage
    Avoid.

    Happy birthday!

    The Agnus Dei penny is exceptionally rare but the imagery itself isn't all too scarce for this period. Here's an image I took, the motif is all the more enchanting in-hand. One example I've drawn comparisons with is the early 11th century Brussels Cross.
  23. HistoricCoinage
    Indeed. Beautiful coins.
  24. HistoricCoinage
    Look forward to seeing some larger, clear images soon. Welcome to the forum.

    Please do let us know as I'm sure Jens Christian Moesgaard will be able to help.
