Last month I found this William Rufus Type 1 Profile right cut half. The reverse reads CNTLEB which according to the EMC is Canterbury mint. Mine...
I eventually discovered that the cut half I found recently is a Wiiliam 2nd Type 1 right profile minted in Canterbury. The reverse legend reads...
My cut half is only the second recorded William 2nd type 1 minted at Canterbury with the mint signature CNTLEB
John Milton, I totally agree with you about the poor state of coinage produced across several reigns. Those above are gorgeous and way better than...
Thank you for your feedback. I'm now more confident about it being a William 2nd. I'm amazed at its condition after over 900 years buried in the...
This morning I found this cut half while metal detecting. I can't make my mind up whether it's a William 1st type 7 or a William 2nd type 1. I...
I found this small damaged long cross hammered coin this morning and am having problems identifying it. The most distinctive feature on the coin...

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...
I have found lots of the .500 silver coins dating from 1920-47. Here is a photo of some of them. These are all sixpences.[ATTACH]
Many detectorists, including myself, often find coins that date to Victorian or more recent times. Generally we consider such coins to be...
