Not mine, sadly! Would have been tomorrow, though, had it not been spotted by someone else!
-
An annoying and hopeful wait for a lovely little farthing came to an end just 2 days before pay day! It was mine! I wanted it! I looked at it every day, hoping nobody else would spot it, and now it’s gone! 292371787088

It’s going under the hammer! 222759821044

You’re right about that portrait! Well done, Sir! ?

Have a read here: https://www.rpcoins.co.uk/blogs/news you can buy a copy of the book here: https://www.galata.co.uk/store.asp?storeAction=showDetail&stockID=6511&stockMasterCategoriesID=8

So, yes...BCW CN-2:c2 with the damaged Lis punch 29(2)
-
Oh, and just to add, a gorgeous pair of coins! Beautiful!
-
Wow, can we see your 1b? ?
-
Yes, I was also thinking that! You never mentioned you ‘bought’ these coins! Does this make you Mr Blencoe?
-
Nice little unclipped sixpence of a fairly common date. Can dig out the BCW attribution for you tomorrow if you like?
-
Nothing out of the ordinary I’m afraid. With the chip and crack i’d say less than £20 myself.

Especially if it's called a sixpence, but has the bust and diameter of a threepence! here you go, Tchris: https://www.rpcoins.co.uk/collections/tudor-1485-1603

Class 11 all have the damaged crown 11, hence the class 11! The sub-classes are organised around details like the letter shapes; round-backed, pointed-backed, etc.
-
Looks like it's gone!
-
Anyone know of any fakes? Of course there is that pewter copy that's out there in the thousands, but any others?
-
Definitely Ed III but I too am away at the mother-in-laws, and don't know the series well enough to comment further without my books, except to agree that it's Durham.

There was one for sale on eBay the other day, from the chap who's been selling off that decent-grade collection. 222717020935

I read all of that! Always seems so unsatisfactory to reply without anything to add. Hopefully enough, though, to say great and incredibly interesting work!
-
The lions are I'd suggest concave, given their toning, ruling out this being a flattened coin! Some kind of coin or token/medal has been smashed or squeezed onto a disc of some kind, my dear Watson!
-
Ah, OK, yes, I know/see what you mean, Sir!
-
The weight's going to be the deciding factor I think...must be wafer thin? edit: something wrong with the cookies, won't let me write a fresh post, it wants to keep adding it to the end of my old post!

Surely the forces would create an elongated shape, as per hand-rolled pennies that you can make at museums, etc, nowadays? The force would need to be downward, wouldn't it? But how that might happen without splitting the flan eludes me. Heat maybe? I'm baffled! ? Just had a closer look! None of the letters are stretched or distorted, or even significantly larger. Something not quite right! Perfectly round garter, too!
