I don't think it will open much of a can of worms, @Rob, because I think most the people on here are exhausted and bemused by the gulf between the two collector types. I agree with absolutely everything you say and, interestingly, I've only just noticed a very obvious detail that I've overlooked before. Namely, that there are those who buy slabs and miss out on the exploration and, in my opinion, numismatic essence of it all...and there are those who know their stuff and enjoy manipulating the slabbing phenomenon, whether that's taking advantage of that which is already slabbed, or still having a good finger on the pulse of what makes a great raw coin and then getting it slabbed! A big difference, very different animals! Having said that, it could open up a can of worms!

I've just noticed it's awaiting validation? How long does the whole process of registering a find take, then? Anyone know?

I know nothing of the period but that doesn't 'look right' to me, has a very cast look about it! Guess they must know what they're talking about! It would be interesting to compare it to the other documented coins to check for any replication. At least I'd want to if I was considering it for myself.

@Jester wakey, wakey!

Gosh it really is time for me to start buying some hammered plantagenet gold! Maybe some sovs too! Soon! Soon!

Avalon to Manchester...you may as well be! ? A journey from 'Whur's eee to?' to 'He's dead sound!' all very odd!

C'mon, chaps, get with the program!

I think this is one of the better of the 'novelty' offerings from the RM I quite like it really! ?
-
They just need to lob off two-thirds of the legend, THEN it would look authentic!

https://www.galata.co.uk/store.asp?storeAction=showDetail&stockID=6511&stockMasterCategoriesID=8 enjoy! It's a wonderful record of Elizabethan coins!

Brilliant! Great work following this through! Dave's extremely passionate about coins, a great contact! ?

The biggest joke about this Elizabeth replica is that it's mostly called a sixpence! And I might be feeling a little bit unsympathetic tonight (OK, maybe a lot), but anyone that wants to buy an Elizabeth sixpence with that bust stamped upon what is a so-called sixpence coin, that looks like a plastic/pewter threepence, really needs to get their act together. make sure your first £30-£50 spent on Elizabethan Coinage is on BCW's Elizabethan Silver Coinage book. Once you own and read this book, the pewter coins we see everyday on eBay will trouble you no more! WARNING - if you buy this book, you'll be hooked...enjoy!

WHAT a breadth of material too! Coins I could never sell!

As part of a search for Edward I copies, I came across this...Caught my eye because I've seen these online and not identified them as copies! http://hammered_farthings.tripod.com/counterfeit/index.htm

Blimey, that's a spectacular coin!
-
Something to consider when thinking that something is worn is that sometimes (often/mostly) the metal doesn't always fill the design on the dies, leaving details that can sometimes look worn, when you could in fact be looking at an as-struck hammered coin.

I've got one here with Clive's Historic Coinage (.com) as the reverse legend, very well made! ?
-
That would be the first place I'd be looking! It's not contemporary with the Plantagenets.

We'll make 'em, you list 'em! 50/50 ?

Christ, dying his hair at 8...poor you, John! My boy's 9 and fortunately things are still agreeable at home, so it's a lot easier to guide him. He went to a 'big school' open day the other day and came back with a 2p he'd electroplated 'gold!' Got me proper thinkin' it did! ?
-
Thinking about it, with an ID like that it could be an alibaba coin, hence the dodgy images too????

People make millions even talking about blogging! Quite a good site, actually! https://problogger.com/ You also talked about limited interest in coins (at least I think you did, can't quite remember), but you only have to look at the number of coins for sale on eBay to see there's enough people out there. Even the people selling rubbish that they've gathered from old uncle Jim's estate have probably tried to look something up on Google! Anyway, apologies, John, didn't mean to crash your thread (probably done your video hits some good, ironically)
