    Happy birthday Gary - just noticed!
  2. Debbie
    Mmmm see what you mean Colin, some nice examples out there and could be a nice basis for a collection ......oh gawd!!
  3. Debbie
    Afternon all. I have just got this today and I thought I'd post it up as its square. Just got me wondering about other square coins - have there been many issued?
  4. Debbie
    Can I just point out that that object is in the distance and therefore represents something the size of a light house ! Men! Never any good with sizes....
  5. Debbie
    Actually I quite like that one too! Are you going to sell it?
  6. Debbie
    OK so this is the US - but we are not far behind. Warning its a little long winded but I liked the analogy. here
  7. Debbie
    And don't forget all the British Empire coins...... Welcome to the forum Mongo, you'll learn loads here but do be warned it can be very addictive!

    Mmm I see what you mean - it is a tad on the large side! Are there any local open art exhibtions / gallery craft shops that you could submit it and/or see if they would take some of your peices on a sale or return basis? I used to paint and sold a few bits that way.

    I think I will be sticking to just the one hammered coin for the moment - but thank you for the information !
  10. Debbie
    Well then maybey you should try and sell the actual assemblage!!
  11. Debbie
    Very informative - thanks both. What was the percentage of silver used in hammered coins then?
  12. Debbie
    Still its good to see anyway, thanks Stuart. Is pitting quite common then? As a novice I may have mistaken that for casting bubbles. Anyway now you have the perfect coin for experimenting with your engraving kit....never come accross an engraved hammered
  13. Debbie
    Ooooo.......an engraved 1933 penny?
  14. Debbie
    If it doesn't sell you will just have to use it in one of your assemblages!
  15. Debbie
    Peter I am surprised that you haven't managed to get the word "bust" in there somewhere yet!
  16. Debbie
    Thank you Richard. Always nice to get approval from someone who knows what he's talking about!

    So patience is not a virtue of mine. I bought this common type Venetian Soldino from the 1400’s, simply because I liked the look of it and it has an interesting history. it wasn’t expensive (£14) and I wanted to see a hammered coin. It came today and I can’t believe how small and thin it is! No wonder you could drop them – they would float to the ground!
  18. Debbie
    Wouldn't mind seeing that Stuart.
  19. Debbie
    Sorry I'm not much help, but I do sympathise. I find it so frustrating when I am unable to date a coin never mind identify it.
  20. Debbie
    Thanks for your replies chaps. It's still amazing that something so old can be bought for such a small sum, but then again I suppose one can dig up a fossil for free. I think I will wait until I get to a coin fair to see some real live hammers - that's if you are allowed to handle them?
  21. Debbie
    Although I have seen lots of hammered coins in books and on the forum, I have never actually had one in hand. I can see that on ebay there are some hammered coins that seem to go very cheaply - between £5 - £10. Assuming that these are not fakes ( I know, I know...!) Is it actually possible to pick up a fairly common, but decent coin for this? I'm just curious.
  22. Debbie
    I've lost count of the times that that one has been re-listed. I'm sure it's been on Ebay even before I became interested in engraved coins! BTW Stuart I would get your engraving kit out, looks like someone is prepared to pay the £300 for that other coin!
  23. Debbie
    Richard I didn't get any notification of your last email either.I've sent you a message back so see if it appears on your email.
  24. Debbie
    Very creative Richard, thst's the sort of thing I'd have on my wall. That "M" on the first one doesn't half remind me of our Council logo though!
  25. Debbie
    Sorry - yes the other side is....if you can make it out.
