Sylvestius you can't play cuz you already know

Only recently acquired this coin - so am using seller's pics. And by the way - if ya haven't figured it out yet - this is a test

If I can tell you what it is do I get to keep it?

Franklin Mint junk!

BTW - Look at Edward III's face, he does not look happy about being on that ship!

Is it what the filename says it is?

A photo of a coin?

Now that is a brilliant and insightful post from an Arsenal fan!

That is not correct, it is a digital image file.

ajaan · January 26, 2005 12:08PM

Yes, and a 100% correct post. Of course a Chelsea Clinton fan wouldn't realize that.

wybrit · January 26, 2005 12:10PM

Just Chelsea, thanks. You can keep the Clinton.

I know you strained yourself there. You don't want to burst a neck vein, now!

<< You don't want to burst a neck vein, now! >>

What would one more burst neck vein be to him?

I really do love the coin.

ajaan · January 26, 2005 12:13PM

Can't argue with that!

Ahhh now gentlemen - let's remember the purpose of this post. It is an effort to test your attribution skills. And something tells me you better look a little closer

Aethelred · January 26, 2005 12:20PM

It is an Edward IV!

Looks like a Ryal and not a Noble to me (crown mm. right? That would place it after 1466 and the last Noble was struck in 1464).

Well you're on the right road - just aint there yet. You might also want to check the legends

Oh yeah - and certain key parts of the design.

And what's the other name for the ryal ? - the rose noble, which was produced until 1470. This is indeed a rose noble - but was it struck at a British mint ? If not - how can you tell ?

Can anybody tell me what this is ?
