[ATTACH] I thought some of you would be interested in an update on this death plaque. William Benjamin Reynolds proved to be a unique hit on the...
Glad to have been of assistance! I would be interested to know which books you have ordered? The Spinks annual book is the standard over here and...
Yes - that looks about right for that coin at retail. I would espect to pay a bit less over here as they are surprisingly common. Nice coin -...
If this is for a Class IVb Edward I penny minted in London then the Spinks number would be S1395 and North 1024. The Spinks price as at 2011 was...
Well not entirely your fault this time! There is a fault in the caption to the halfpenny above - the North number should read 1086 if it is a...
Very Useful! Berwick mint is a whole story to itself as they used their own dies and made less of a distinction between the reigns of Edward I,II...
OK - North does not give different numbers for different mints, so they could still be the same or differring mints. What North number did they...
I like them both and my decision would be based more on the isuing mints - have you made up your mind which mints they are from? The top one...
I thought I would post some of my 17th Century Crowns for your delectation! 1677 Charles II Crown - he was the son of Charles I who was beheaded...
Thanks for adding the pictures. I have just spent a happy (?) hour going through Krause 19th century (168 pages!) and got no good match. There are...
Sadly no picture...?
That is one stunner of a medallion! The artistry that allowed them to get such a range of colours in the copper is wonderful and rare. Even though...
Yes - very beautiful. I was fortunate enough to be at University College, which is housed largely in the Castle and known to everyone else as...
I would happily be trading with you if I had any Durham tokens! Sadly not a single one, even though I was at University there in the 1980s.
I scanned this in response to a message on another thread so I thought I would put it up here too. [ATTACH]
Yes - UK coins are even more complex than US. (We have had a lot longer to get confused!) Here is one of my better ones in the same series with...
Nice coin! In Spinks this would be ref S3909, type A2 with the First head. Note the Die number of the date - 38 I think. At this time the...
Maybe stretching exonumia too far, but this cat badge was just so cute! Mintmark tells me it was assayed in Birmingham in 1945. [ATTACH]
I think you were on the wrong page in Krause. This is purporting to be a Gold Sovereign of 1817, Krause #674, about 3 pages later in my 7th...
Thanks for that Christian, certainly gets me closer. I seem to be finding examples of the reverse, but none with the matching Liberty obverse?...
