Hello my friends, So, I have been on a journey of numismatic endeavour to try and finally find my niche, and it's early milled Charles II silver, specifically Crowns and Halfcrowns. Anyway, I need your help please... Is the attached an example of a 3rd or 4th bust of King Charles II ?? And can any of you clever people point me towards a simple guide to distinguishing between them. Your help would be much appreciated. All the best, Weaver

I couldn't believe that a replica Cromwell crown was on display for sale in a local antiques bazaar priced at £50 😮 Is that normal? For a replica piece??

I agree my friend, hence the challenge! I personally love this period in history, and I expect the origin was being in Stuart house at school no doubt. I read daily excerpts from Pepys diary, plus one of my ancestors fought in the civil war, so it's no surprise that I ended up focussing on collecting Charles II coins. It would have been Cromwell coinage, but yeah right! I'm not made of money 🤣 All the best, Weaver (Wayne)

I agree, and what JLS has taught me is the value of a problem-free coin over a higher grade with issues piece. I would be prepared to pay a little more than book price for a lower grade yet problem-free coin with eye candy appeal, and I'm hoping that my future customers would feel the same way. All the best, Weaver (Wayne)

Out of interest, here is the reverse of my Crown.

Thank you for the lesson Chris! 😊 All the best, Wayne

Just to totally verify Sword, are you agreeing with Michael that my crown is 3rd bust? Cheers, Weaver (Wayne)

Many thanks Sword ! I have always been fascinated with this turbulent period in British history, so finding my niche has come quite naturally. Thank you for the guide. JLS on here suggested I buy a copy of Bull's book which I have duly done and await it's arrival. Guess I should wait for book to arrive, but are there many varieties in this series? All the best, Wayne

Thank you Michael-Roo, I'm still learning to grade accurately, and in the case of this Crown, I was thinking About VF, but I appreciate your assessment. Many thanks! Weaver

Thank you Michael-Roo What grade would you give it? All the best, Weaver

Good morning everyone, Ok, so I was watching a YouTube video of someone sorting through their coin collection, and they had a really smart coin mat/pad in view beneath their hands. I could do with one of those, so can anyone recommend one please? Needs to be pretty small max 30cm x 30cm Any Ebay links would be hugely appreciated. Thanks to all, Weaver(wayne)

Honestly Sword, I should have been on commission mate! 🤣 But they are seriously useful little coin mats! I've got a nice 1856 Nova Scotia one penny token sitting on it right now! All the best, Weaver (wayne) -

Thanks Paddy! I was worrying that I had upset everyone 😂 and maybe those coin mats I recommended a while back were terrible after all 🤣 Appreciate the confirmation Paddy. All the best, Weaver (wayne) -

Bagerap beat me to it😂 Here's mine... It's really good for saving a coin if you drop it during inspection with minimal bounce! 😎 All the best, Weaver(wayne) -

Holy Moley! I'm worried now 😬 These coin mats had better live up to your high standards! My one has just been posted via Royal Mail 2nd class, so hopefully I will receive it before you do and will either be in total SMUG mode or HIDE BEHIND THE BIKE SHEDS mode😆 No pressure😅 All the best, Weaver(wayne) -

Funny isn't it? I didn't think I needed a coin inspection mat either until i watched this YouTube video where this guy sorts through loads of 50p's looking for collectable ones. Halfway through the video he gets excited because he finds a Commonwealth Games 50p and drops it, but the mat beneath his hands cushioned the fall. That made me think...I need one of those mats💡and the search began! All the best, Weaver(wayne) -

Man, I feel good 😃 Let's hope they are quality mats. £1.50 is a steal, but the seller states that they are bankrupt stock, so I think I have stumbled upon a bargain. Glad to have shared with you guys! All the best, Weaver(wayne) -
