@Rob saw this and thought of you!
-
Nice little win of a superb sixpence. Weak portrait but, to be fair, exaggerated in these auction images…actually much better in-hand…will try and post another image soon. I did try to look out the images of your 1573 @Rob because it worried me a little bit to find another little-worn acorn coin, but I couldn’t find them to compare the dies.
-
You’re having a good root around the forum…as educational as any book on coins for sure!
-
A respectable example it’s true, but a significant ‘grade’ below the OP coin, though £400+ was an eye-watering sum.
-
I noticed this around 2 years ago, the upward climb of the better Edward’s. Every auction nowadays they seem to fetch a little more. I went at this one as an upgrade, thinking £250 inc. premiums would get me close? The sum of £412 truly staggered me if I’m honest! It’s a nice coin, of course, but rather annoying that I’ve missed the boat by a couple of years, much as I ultimately have done with Elizabeth.

I was thinking to replace this one, but clearly not this time around!
-
How much for its heritage, a coin from the Knaresborough Priory hoard of 1805?
-
I wonder how strong the correlation is between literature, identifiable collectibility, and subsequent auction prices/popularity? There’s a clear connection here in the Blunt web resource and the Galata guide, bringing the numismatically interesting sub-classes of the type to the common man, which ultimately pricks the collection mentality of the coin collector. Doesn’t change the fact I’m once again behind the times!

Yes, I believe they claimed the other two ‘benefits’ existed long before we ever had to pay for them!
-
Well, it’s here…eBay’s new buyers’ premium, but wrapped up as Buyer Protection, now applied to all private sales! HOWEVER, what used to be the old 10% commission, is now 22% by my maths! Plus they keep hold of the sellers share of the pie for quite a long while, now!
-
Will put an eventual end to those selling items between £5-£10 then I guess? Thanks for highlighting
-
Thanks, Paddy, no worries Nice sixpence, and on the money with your classification.
-
I’m beginning to take an interest in James I coinage…are there any core texts outside of the BNJ, North, ‘Spink’ etc.? I was disappointingly underbidder on this eBay shilling recently, thinking £350 was a strong enough snipe
-
I just open the album to see if I have one or not?
-
Just out of interest, is it a single known example?
-
FYI there are a few toy coins coming up for sale in The Coinery auction 16th February.
-
Hi Paddy, sorry I missed this one! Well from a quick look it’s a Calais legend (Villa Calis) to the reverse and an annulet issue so screaming Henry VI annulet issue halfpenny, and a likely mule? Is it still of enough interest to you for me to dig deeper?
-
Thanks, Jerry. As is said @Circulation penny collecto, Guy and I are not quite the same…by quite a large sum I should imagine?
-
Well that’s some claim CPC and phenomenal to have you on here and in touch with us all! Wow, without being overbearingly starstruck, that’s quite something, and great news to hear these Great British coins are still gracing a UK collection. 🙏
-
Could’ve been given to a lover named Anna by a gentleman with the surname Jack? My grandmother was Evelyn Jack, so not her
-
That may have been a love charm with a soldered loop just above Jack? Maybe this kind of thing?
-
You have the correct date, making it 2nd coinage, 3rd bust, mm Lis - S2654 Here’s a couple examples of what I was mentioning earlier re completed item on eBay
-
£50-£70 depending upon who’s around on the day! You have to appreciate it’s really hard to price ANY coin. Even in big auction houses, coins can go for double or half their values. I think the best way to value coins in these grades is to carry out a search on eBay - not to see what crazy prices people are asking, but to click on ‘completed items’ in the filter and see what people have actually been prepared to pay for certain types and grades. It’s an eye-opener!

Yes, 1st coinage shilling with bust 2 and thistle mintmark S2646 👍
