    Brilliant result!

    I’d say it is more polished than cleaned. Sounds like you’ve had a good buy, though! 👏👏

    The angle of that V is slightly steep, but there could well be a die like it somewhere…no denying that near-horizontal line in the image, though. I reckon that’s an Irish farthing myself. Couldn’t clearly see that in the first image. By the way, that’s a VERY decent couple of images, second time round 👏👏
  4. Coinery
    That is a stunning spot, Stu 👏👏👏

    Indeed, the rule is in focus…however, the coin itself is most definitely not! And, who on earth is www.HistoricCoinage.com? Is he that fine fellow, who doth inhabit the county of St Cuthbert’s resting place?

    Being in focus would be helpful, it’s a lot to ask from a blurry image.

    It’s not bad is it? Would definitely pass off in change back then!

    I came here to say the exact same thing! I’ve also noted the word ‘test’ in the top left corner, just in case that’s relevant?

    I’m not overly familiar with the numerals and serifs of the series, but is there any possibility it’s die-fill, or does that throw the shape of the number too much?
  11. Coinery
    Yes, a stunning grade, there! Lovely cut half 👏👏
  12. Coinery
    Nice! 👏 👏👏

    Forgetting the grade, the good thing about it for me is that there are no major digs or edge knocks/bruises, etc., making it a collectable fine too. Potentially your most valuable coin to-date?

    The reverse lis and lions sit distinctively high in their respective quarters…I did find this, which belongs to an anchor obverse. I guess we’ll have to wait and see!

    I’ll give you this much, you’re quite the detective. Your knowledge of these little details is very impressive. I do get the thrill, though, especially on those occasions where you’re seeking out (or waiting for) a complete example to finish the puzzle. Great stuff!

    Thanks, Stu, fingers crossed! It would end up being a freebie if it comes good…would end up being a previously unknown pairing, too, with the no-mark reverse! Though this is what makes me feel it probably isn’t. knowing my luck with trying to get hold of one of these, it will more likely end up being the crud from an old plug 😆

    Can’t be a rose, it’s the wrong bust…

    Is it or isn’t it? An online bid today in a bulk lot of 6 coins! Was a cheap enough buy to chance finding out. The only spanner in the works is what appears to be a no-mark reverse.

    I enjoyed the series Victoria, and you can’t get a better bit of Cate Blanchett than in her role as Elizabeth I. Also I thought The King was great, a series about the rise of Henry V
  21. Coinery
    Of course the fish tail could simply be damage? The lettering of the coin is pretty distinctive, however, so finding the monarch should be quite doable!
  22. Coinery
    The darker coin looks to have the Edward II crown of class 11 as imaged (and all credit to the amazing book Rob credited above for this). The other one is too time consuming for me to look into (I don’t have a lot of free time at the moment), though the serpentine/fish-tail S is probably a good launch pad for you to start from. Good luck 👍

    Yes, as Rob says, a farthing not a halfpenny. With the beaded inner-circle on both sides, as well as the Civitas legend, makes this class 28 onwards. The high crown, with that classic axe-like left fleur and, of course, the bust, plus the broken-topped angle-backed E, makes this most certainly a London Type 30 farthing of Edward II

    An empty clothes rack? Nothing suspicious about that in my wardrobe
