Coin Auctions
HistoryTreasures replied to Colin G.'s topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Yes, I agree. I think the reason for it is simply due to the auction calendar being a bit quiet at the moment and hence there is a spate of material being offered. People have got to have their coins, and so the result is predictable... -
ROFL! I'm struggling to see what's means to be so interesting about such a coin as that!

I don't know, they might fool me! Such nice copies

A little help on an 1881 H Penny
HistoryTreasures replied to azda's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Is that perhaps because we don't all know that much about these rareties? How much of the share would you be willing to impart with someone anyway? -
hammered coin id please
HistoryTreasures replied to chris's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
The first coin seems to be Spink 1348A or Class 4a for the Pennies of Richard I. Obverse description: Chin + side whiskers made up of beads/pellets; hair is made of up of two or more non-parallel crescents left and right. Crown usually has seven pearls. There is a not as good example halfway down the page of this link http://www.hallshammeredcoins.com/?page=coins&offset=0&type=2 -
Well I just can't make head nor tails of it personally. I think I'd prefer his but I'm basing it entirely on tone as per the picture.

Would you call these BUNC?

You've already put these in another thread Az, or am I suffering déjà vu? Or maybe it's Dave ja Vu -
1882 Penny On Ebay
HistoryTreasures replied to azda's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
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? -
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.

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... -

unknown coin
HistoryTreasures replied to mike79's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
They were known as "easterlings", from which is derived the word "sterling" which is another term for our silver. -

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!
