Coinery

I don't have Withers, or North Vol. 1, yet, so I'm referencing various websites for the following: Could I please have some feedback on the following points, in the absence of the above? - Spink appears to end the Edward I farthing series with North's Type 10 which, as I presently understand it, has crown M? Spink has the beginning of the Edward II reign 'classically' start with Type 11 (10-11), which has Crown N (or withers type 30), where do the two reigns overlap? Is the confusion quite simply that Withers has Crown N (type 30) dated 1310-1314, and North has Crown N (Type 10-11) as 1305-1335)? - Spink has the first coinage of Edward III marked as indistinguishable from the Edward II coins (Type 30-32). Is this still the position, or does Withers attribute them more precisely? I'm sensing from the 'net that the Edward II dies likely continued into the first coinage of Edward III, so are we only looking at early strikes (undamaged punches/dies) for the confident attribution of ANY Edward II farthing? AND finally, I've spent a great deal of time this evening looking at the crowns of the Edward farthings, is the 28f on this link misattributed? It looks like a crown N, rather than an M, making it a Withers 30 I'm guessing????? http://hammered_farthings.tripod.com/edward-i-farthings/edwardvsrex.htm

It doesn't have that 'usual' pewter look about it?

That's a joy to behold, Nicholas!

I'd be happy if all my Edward II coins (when I start) could come up like this Edward I Penny!

There's still the water rates to be considered!

Oooops, sorry, forgot to resize first! The 4d was very much the hardest of this date to find, I'd upgraded the others a couple of times along the way. I finally ended up with 2 4d's (neither were a fine compliment to the set), but I can only find the weaker of the two, which I'll not burden you with here!

You have some coins left?!!Sold, but nice all the same!

Edit: wrong smiley!

Bullion!

Cleaned!

Dipped!

Ooh, look at that! Is that a Jaguar XK 140 first left?Classic, old, anything, is great in my eyes! I'd love to think of our present day history inspiring the generations ahead, but I just can't see it somehow? Exit: I meant 150?

It accelerated away like a modern sprinter, unbelievable! Wished I'd filmed it!

Ya, happy birthday out there!

OK, my old 1701 maundy set coming up!

Couldn't resist this! Took a lunchtime stroll to The Bell in Frampton, and look what turned up! A 1922 Steam-Powered Stanley Roadster with wooden wheels! What a beautiful thing!

That's a really interesting question, and one I don't know the answer to. I would suggest you contact a coin cabinet maker and run the problem past him/her? What's the name of that esteemed maker that's often talked about on here? Anyone? I'd be really interested to hear back on this one, including rationales for glue choice by any said cabinet makers.

Nick's tougher than that, Paul. He dusted me up when I first arrived, over the small matter of smelting bullion coins!

I was making reference to Dave's image of the hammered coin, Dave!
