Coinery

Yes, I've been having android and iPhone issues, as per above, since the adverts went in a couple of days ago, not just since catawiki.

Falling clearly short of UNC for me too! Bag marked and over exposed, preventing a good assessment of any lustre (if any)!

Gone!

SCBI The John Brooker Collection: Coins of Charles I £12.50 + postage

Using Chris' Price Guide for UNC (not BU) the below coins price up at £230 (90% of them have come from Chris himself and Declan Magee Coins). 95%+ of them are in uncirculated, and most of those are BU. There are obviously too many coins to justify photography, but I feel confident that any buyer would be extremely pleased with the delivery. I'd like £100 + postage FARTHINGS 1953 1+A (set) 1953 1+B 1956 3+D HALFPENNIES 1953 1+A 1957 3+E 1958 1959 3+G 1960 3+E 1962 3+E 1964 3+E 1966 3+I 1967 Narrow Rim 1967 Thick Rim 1971 PENNIES 1953 1961 1963 1964 1965 1966 1971 1986 1987 TWO PENCE 1975 1978 1986 1987 1988 1999 2000 2001 THREEPENCE 1953 1957 1961 1966 SIXPENCE 1955 1+B (1+C see Groom) 1956 1957 1+B 1958 1+B 1959 1+B 1962 1+B 1966 1967 SHILLINGS/5ps 1953s 1953e 1954s 1954e 1961e 1961s 1963s 1964s 1965s 1965e 1966s 1968 1969 1970 1971 1975 1977 1979 1982 1987 1988 1990 1992 FLORIN/10ps 1953 1+A 1965 1968 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1978 2003 2006 TWENTY PENCE 2003 2006 FIFTY PENCE 1973 EEC 1976 1977 1980 1981 1982 1983 1985 ONE POUND 1983 TWO POUNDS Bill of Rights 1986

Thanks, matteo, will check it out!

A reasonable-priced SCBI 39 North Edwardian Silver Coins, please!

Anyone for a good-condition copy of Peck (1970 edition)? £100 + post would straight swap for SCBI 39 North's Edwardian Silver Coins I'd prioritise the swap over a sale!

There would have to be a snapped off spur from the casting somewhere? Just thinking out loud!

No, it would've been legal tender, right up to the recoinage in William III's reign. After Elizabeth's reign all shillings were produced with XII in the fields, maybe to rectify the possible confusion that unmarked coins had had in Elizabeth's reign? So my theory is people began marking the 'unmarked' Elizabeth shillings with an X to ease identification, especially many decades later when people had gotten very much used to the XII coins. You have to remember, with clipping, worn sixpences, and unmarked Elizabeth groats, it probably wasn't easy for a lot of people. Holed? My guess is a piece of jewellery, maybe contemporary? In the 17th century, as today, there was great respect for Elizabeth so, even though the coin was still valid currency at the time, it was starting to become an antique. An old hammered coin around your neck, when milled coinage was now the norm, which you could still spend in an emergency (a credit card), must have had appeal?

Such a simple yet brilliant design that it remains unchanged today!

I know nothing about these things, but the first thought that came into my head was bottle stopper? Either used as it is, to stop insects from entering, or maybe even more functional if little holed discs of leather were passed over the lump at the end to form a cylindrical tube of leather, much like you'd thread on a tap washer?

I wouldn't say it was a love token, personally. Great find, though!

Superhero, Mick, what a musical journey that man has had, wonderful! Nearly as flamboyant as you were in the 70's!

What triangle do you mean?

I still believe the crosses so often scratched into the Elizabeth shillings were there to bring them into line with the new XII of later monarchs!

Nice easy going thread! Can't wait for the day that I can contribute with a find or two of my own!

Oh, and one of these, please! Nice choice, M!

The gold half pound of Elizabeth with bust 3C always did, and still does, float my boat in high grade!

Peace and big blessings upon you for 2016, Peter! Truly, truly! ?

You too, TG! Our paths haven't crossed so much this year, but I'll always remember you fondly for that generous offer, and also for your mediatory good sense in your sensitive and generous postings! happy new year! And the same to all of you! blessings from me and my lovely family! (Who I barely deserve I grant you)

Welcome aboard, Frank! Rob's one of the go-to chaps on here, and a gentleman to-boot, a gentleman and a scholar!

Wouldn't a harness dressing have something more substantial to hold it on, like a complete loop, perhaps, rather that a 'clip', for want of a better word? I can't imagine that remaining attached for very long? Is there any possibility it could be some kind of applet for a uniform? http://www.icollector.com/Polish-Army-2nd-corps-metal-Exile-badge_i12174209

I can't see any way around it other than multiple shots (the more the better) and blending them in a good bit of design software!
