    Looks more like a Fosbury flop to me? Cool designs too!

    You've already put these in another thread Az, or am I suffering déjà vu? Or maybe it's Dave ja Vu

    I would assume that the 'H' is there or was once there and demand better photos! Krause gives $75.00 for one of these in Fine. A nice rarity! If you can find it..But can something be said for the art of filing down letters on coins?

    I think she is holding a baby...? And who's cat is that anyway? Duh what does the 'M' stand for? Is it Mad???

    Actually guys, this is a bit retarded because there are so many instances of this on eBay and you guys should find something better to do with your xmas time! Like stuff the turkey or wife or something...

    Aye, doesn't react with the coin as do the plastic slips which leech oils slowly...

  9. HistoryTreasures
    Oh dear...still no hints on this? I am lost??

    It is fake but I think it was meant to be a Penny of James I but don't have my Spink on me...

    They were known as "easterlings", from which is derived the word "sterling" which is another term for our silver.

    Without seeing any pictures then its impossible to tell No. Go away or post photos! haha..

    They are always described as 50 pence coins!.. The seller clearly thinks you can apply modern values to the old coins - so anyone with a hoard of Cuni Crowns must have suddenly become extremely rich some time in the 90's when they changed the Crown's face-value from 25 pence to a fiver!

    No, the first two coins are not BUNC as they do not display the full mint lustre. They are very bright, but they do not have that glossy reflection that the ones placed on later do have. I would describe the farthings as EF-EF+

    Wasn't me. Sadly.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction here - we have a Byzantine 40 Nummus (M) with what appears to be a standing figure and kneeling? figure on the reverse. Not many other details are clear, but this seems to be an issue of the earlier Byz. Empire.

    Zdrastvooytye Mike.

    Another fake I presume http://cgi.ebay.com/1763-England-shilling-silver-coin-/190474954236?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c593125fc Seller with 0 feedback - in this identity, but he may have had even lower ratings with other ones previously.
  20. HistoryTreasures
    Well, he says he's honest, so I guess that clinches it then!..
  21. HistoryTreasures
    Hi Dave, welcome in and, NO we won't buy any dodgy sovs from ya..
  22. HistoryTreasures
    If it had been worth much, how come it has not been taken out of circulation before this point in time?
  23. HistoryTreasures
    More to the point, how did the coin get so ugly?
  24. HistoryTreasures
    Charles II of Spain 1694 Liard from Flanders (Spanish Netherlands) David It's just a very common Nuremberg Jeton. More information in this link where there's an explanation of the lettering on some of these. http://www.mernick.org.uk/Bexley/article3.htm
  25. HistoryTreasures
    Yeah where's the evidence?
