The seller also states 'troubled times' as a rationale for the 'over strike'? It's my memory that the tun predates the civil war by some years!
-
Nest!

Yes, the words 'cuckoo, one, over, flew, the' springs to mind!

Colour of the coin? Edit: sorry, to expand...I mean that the colur and tones of the picture look about right, on account of the skin colour! So I'm thinking the coin must be more or less the colour shown in the images?
-
yes, thank-you, Paul! Not tooled, just a blocked tun I'd say! Any thoughts on the colour?
-
What a 24 carat...how can research uncover such a nonsense that has Charles over Elizabeth! Interesting colour, given that the skin colour is normalish?

Your dream coin?
Coinery replied to Sylvester's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Doh! Makes sense, now! I thought an Elizabeth I groat was a low stab at the numismatic bag! -

Coinery replied to Sylvester's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
VF isn't a really difficult grade for an E1 groat, either! Certainly not in the context of the sort of coins Nicholas generally buys. -
Your dream coin?
Coinery replied to Sylvester's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
I can't recall ever seeing an ex-mount groat?That seems a lowly dream coin for your usual quality taste in coins? Most of them have been gilded or mounted in the past. VF is a high enough aspiration.Why would most of them be guilded or mounted? It's certainly not what I'm seeing.I could understand it if it were 6ds, as these have clearly been holed and presumeably worn by later generations. And pennies, of course, for guilding! -

Reading some posts on this forum while chewing on your dinner can prove to be a choking hazard You can always rely on Peter for a bit of off-topic entertainment! I think he should be a panellist on that brand new TV series 'Shock Factor'!

Wow! A very good library, I'd say!

Indeed!

1936 penny, weak strike?
Coinery replied to bagerap's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Very nice, Bagerap! Ain't we just login' this forum! -
Dont read this if you have not slabbed a cgs coin
Coinery replied to PWA 1967's topic in TPG Discussions
What? Are you saying they wouldn't even eat humble pie over a date error? Unbelievable! I've guess I've just been lucky? -
How did I know this coin was going to be a wreath or a Northumberland?

This is a point which crossed my mind, as you would definitely need a courier, now the PO offer of overseas insurance is massively reduced.

Half penny William III ?
Coinery replied to Tomo73's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Wow, good for you, Garrett! I totally agree with all you say! What a considerate man! -
Half penny William III ?
Coinery replied to Tomo73's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Unless I'm missing something here, we are talking in 10's not hundreds for your coin? A nice historical entry into coins, though! -
OK, out of my comfort zone, but found this whilst browsing for C1 copper farthings on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PROOF-IN-MINT-CONDITION1665-SILVER-PATTERN-FARTHING-CHARLES-II-/181588290800?pt=UK_Coins_USA_RL&hash=item2a47816cf0 Relative to the price of the top-end copper C2 farthings, this doesn't seem off the planet. Period? Real? What? anyone for a really quick potted history on this? A beautiful looking thing, I have to say!

C2 Pattern Farthing?
Coinery replied to Coinery's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Thanks, chaps! Anything really high-grade and nice with the farthings, Colin? -
Happy Birthday John :)
Coinery replied to Paulus's topic in Nothing whatsoever to do with coins area!
Many happy returns, old chap! ??? -
Are you better off being a collector in 21st century Britain compared
Coinery replied to Rob's topic in Free for all
you speak for yourself, Paulus, I can barely afford to keep a wine glass filled at the moment! I'm happy, though, and can enjoy the simple pleasures of collecting photographs and reading all about the joys of buying coins! Edit: I've just realised I haven't bought a coin in over 12 months! -
I'd personally say you're about there...I thought GVF overall. edit: with obverse the better grade!
