Blimey Chris

Have you just come out as a forgerienumismatic type chap.?

Later SEUK will be sneeking in the pantry window.

I'm intrigued about this, Chris: Anglo-Saxon 'ADELBERT' short cross not ID'd.

[TomGoodheart 402]

A photo of the electrotype Stuart shillings would be of interest, if you have one?

[Chris Perkins 228]

I've had these kicking about for ages, added the odd one here and there and mainly filtered them out of purchased collections.

I had a feeling I'd get asked for pictures. Will try to do some at the weekend.

It was only when I'd listed them that I realised I had 200, give or take!

Found this one, it's a Spink 1100 - Aethelstan with building on the back and moneyer Adelbert (from York) written under it.

Would especially be interested in pictures/scans of the Irish 6/- and BoE Dollars.

Lost this a few days ago - wonder if the winner knew he was buying a counterfeit...not very clear in description.

Are you starting a collection Chris? I have lots of duplicates for trade!!

[Chris Perkins 228]

Here's the Irish 6s.

[seuk 85]

Here's the Irish 6s.

Nice one Not sure - but it looks like cast and plated - I got a similar sheffield plated BoE dollar, very professionally done unlike most cast counterfeits.
