I found this Henry 3rd VLC cut half yesterday while metal detecting. It doesn't appear to have a sceptre and the reverse seems to suggest that it...
I tried Numista but couldn't find one with the same reverse figure.
A detecting friend found this coin/token yesterday but is struggling to identify it. Dated 1575, it looks similar to a Douzain of Henri 3rd but...
Thanks for your feedback Scottishmoney. When you say that not as many were minted, are there contemporary records to support this view? I agree...
At last night's detecting club monthly meeting a couple of coins were on display that I'd never seen before. Both were hammered halfpennies, the...
Out of curiosity I tried placing one of the four uncleaned 1924 sixpences from the above photo into my ultrasonic cleaner for 20 seconds. I'm...
Hi Cladking, thanks for your reply. After reading it I went through the sixpences shown in the photo and found that 23 of them were from the 1920s...
I'm aware that the 1888 silver threepence shown above is a less common coin because only 518000 were minted that year. Normally around 3 million...
As a collector of BU coins you probably wouldn't appreciate having grey looking silver or green coloured copper coins in your collection.
Bardolph, thank you for giving us your interesting perspective on collecting. As I have said in some of my other posts, I have a collection but I...

Thanks to all for your kind comments. Lovely coin panzerman and one that I have never seen or ever likely to see in the flesh. But never say never...
That was exactly what I said when I saw it. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the reverse. It was found at Eastwood Manor Farm. The quality of...
Lordmarcovan, here is a photo of the Edward 6th sixpence I mentioned earlier that was found on a farm in East Harptree.[ATTACH]
I've also found a Marcus Aurelius sestertius but Celtic is still on my wishlist. However, I do enjoy finding interesting artifacts like this rare...
There ought to have been roman finds there, especially with Colchester being nearby. On that topic, here is a small group of roman silver coins...
What area did you detect in the UK during your visit? Most of my detecting has taken place close to places I have lived in since 1988. From...
Some real beauties there Lordmarcovan. Strangely, I spent Sunday morning detecting near East Harptree but didn't find much of interest, although...
Yes, it's a lovely site to detect on. Apart from the 36 hammered coins/fragments I've found along with the odd artifact including silver cufflinks...
