The term "dump issue" is used for British Halfpennies dated 1717 to 1719 and Farthings in 1717. Nobody seems too sure why "dump" but the coins...
This was the 1748 Halfpenny that turned up with the Gibraltar and St Helena colonials I posted earlier. Not perfect but pretty damn good for a...
Brilliant @paddyman98 that has it cracked!
I picked up this amongst many others yesterday. I haven't been able to tie it down so I am looking for any ideas? What I can see - obverse appears...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Oh how I love sorting through job lots! These three picked up yesterday - Gibraltar 2 Quarts 1842/1 Essequibo & Demerary East...
A Search on the word "Patard" on Ebay has turned up a number of good matches, and Charles the Bold seems to be the man, so this one is solved now...
Thanks for thoughts so far. Diameter is about 26mm.
I picked this up with a mass of other coins yesterday. My original thought was French, but I have not found a match in the 1601 to 1700 Krause yet...
I tried some of that before and ran out of steam! In the end this one, along with the Marie D'Orleans one, are outside my collecting area and I...
That's great - thanks for the info. Does it give us a date range for it's production?
The designer is on the right of the exergue and is Roty. On the left it reads "A.DESAIDE ED." On the Obverse the designer is written "O.ROTY" and...
Yes - I did quite a bit of research and found the reverse in lots of places on the net, but never paired with the Marianne obverse. Hence I still...
Since we seem to be onto French medals again, here are a couple I have posted before. Sorry my photographic skills are not great. (More to the...
I am glad you have it nailed down now. Not heard of pocket piecing before as a way of cleaning coins! For something as damaged and valueless as...
I don't have any books on the jetons so I have to rely online. The legend is pretty much unreadable, so that doesn't help. I did see a similar one...
The bust fits best with the 1806/1807 issues. It is fairly close to the 1799 issue, but that does not have a straight line under Britannia to...
You are right and I am wrong. I went by the appearance rather than checking the dimensions. It is in the range of a Halfpenny, but the weight is...
I believe it is a George II Farthing. The date I think is actually 1739 with the 3 over 5 (a recognised variant). The down stroke of the 9 often...
Forgive me if this has been posted somewhere here already, but I just found this link on a UK Coin forum. Interesting but depressing to see how...
Picked up this today - I assume it is a Jetton but I do not have the book so I don't know which one. [ATTACH]
