I think the bust and crown punches are likely from the same die-maker as this genuine one. The OP coin could be a contemporary c’feit though, looking at the copper showing through? Difficult from photos.

I’ve had a couple of pewter groats from his reign, will look them out.

has this coin been cleaned ?
Coinery replied to craigy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
It hasn’t been photographed that well, to be honest, I would ordinarily stay clear of something that looks like that. However, I’d 100% take it as what it says it is coming from John...plus you could always send it back if you weren’t happy! -
Ah, yes, I agree, but there are many damaged examples that would lend themselves to this quite cheaply...plugged coins also spring to mind
-
Just had a look...quite a pretty design, rather surprised.

Oooooh, an Elizabeth I shilling, now that would be good in a silver case.

Penny Acquisition of the week
Coinery replied to Paulus's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Gorgeous! -
Can’t remember what it was I saw now, I screen shot them and was looking at them in bed last night. Will take another look at them tonight after work.
-
You’d think they would, wouldn’t you? We get scratch-resistant watch faces and glasses, can’t be that much of a challenge?
-
First good argument I’ve seen for slabbing though, the scratches on that slab! 😲
-
Very different dies to start with, though, yours looks to be cut in much higher relief to begin with...and/or earlier strike from the die too.

Please confirm if I have this right - Edward III Penny S1544
Coinery replied to Paddy's topic in British Hammered
Edward I 10cf2 for me, Paddy 👍 -
Amazes me that he doesn’t just take them straight to auction? Seems such a shame for him to be giving them away on eBay!
-
Hmmm, not sure I could trust a Scotsman with certain English coins...Lonshank pennies spring to mind!
-
It’s in the right category, it’s definitely hammered! Great to find anything though, Josh, thanks for sharing 👍

Bulk Lots at auctions
Coinery replied to secret santa's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I think logistically it’s an impossible job, especially at local auctions. The time it takes to wade through kilo after kilo of bulk lots makes it impractical for the auctioneers. I’ve tried it a couple of times and it’s not fun, so I totally believe they are, more often than not, virgin lots. Good things do lurk within them on occasions...Declan picked up a 1905 HC in a bulk lot as just one example. -
So very impressive indeed, given, I’m presuming, that the premier coins are not in private hands?
-
I’ve only ever had one C1 crown that good, and I didn’t have it for long...they are serious chunks of silver, love them, as I do the C1 half crowns for exactly the same reason. Proper coins!
-
Gets my vote for a 10cf m’friend! You’ve got the classic hole in the neck punch to cement it to the last period of Ed1 to the start of Ed2 and it’s not class 11! Would need to dust my book off to give you a number, but the elegance of the crown suggests it’s probably cf3? @davetmoneyer what’s your thoughts, Dave?
