An Aethelred II type C Late Transistional CRVX penny (c.995-7). Identifiable by the copulative omega instead of the standard M-O found on the normal type and with a ligated OR and separate X at the end of the obverse legend. There are 4 varieties of this rare type of which most were struck at Winchester, but a few are known from other mints such as this Oxford piece. All the known Oxford examples are struck from the same die pair.[/IMG]
Sorry, forget that one, I can't work out how to attach images from photobucket.

Thanks. That's what I thought I'd done. I'll have to try another.
Exeter Shilling, 1644. ex Murdoch 237, Burstal 463pt, R Smith, Brooker 1064 & Morris.
Problem solved. When I added the link which I copied and pasted from PB, the IMG commands are duplicated.
Since I don't have anything new I'll post a farthing that I just missed on Ebay that I would really have liked to have, but a sniper bid about enough to buy a cold mutton pie more than I did.
Snap!
No,no- the kids and the cat are all right honey. It's just that I got my PCGS grades.
I have collected U.S coins for many years, and then Civil War Tokens, but am now actively building a collection of 18th Century Conder Tokens, the coins that made the Industrial Revolution a whopping success. : )
1817 Shilling, NGC 63. Nothing special except it is the R over E error in Geor. This is the only one graded by any of the services, so far I have been able to learn about 7 of them that have been seen in the past 20 years. 5 of them were circulated and two were high grade, this may be one of those two or a new addition but I have not been able to get images of the 2 previous known in high grade.
If anyone knows the current whereabouts of the other specimens please PM me, I'd like to try to gather information and document the current ones known.
A pattern double florin by Huth, struck in iron. Not recorded in this metal for this particular die combination by L&S. Quite nice.">Obverse and ">Reverse
Finally. A pattern double florin by Huth, struck in iron. As Linecar & Stone reverse A with edge type (ii) reading SHIPS NAILS CALSHOTT CASTLE MAY 1896, but not one of the varieties recorded therein.
I've got one of these too. Another 1866 halfpenny, full lustre but with 138/405 tonnage figures etched into the obverse field so presumably unslabable with the graffiti. The former refers to the halfpenny tonnage and the latter the total tonnage of bronze. See the article by Graham Dyer, former curator of the Royal Mint Museum, in the 1982 BNJ for further information. Around 30-35 of these marked coins are known for all three bronze denominations, all naturally with unique number pairs.
That coin ought to be "slabbable" (especially at CGS, which had better know about this). Gouby's book on bronze coinage 1860-1869 explains the purpose of the tonnage numbers as well. That is a very sought after piece you have. Congratulations!
Mac gave me some sizing tips so I hope this works.
Not the best photo but one of my favorite coins based on the quality, the color and the fact that I bought it raw, back in the early 80's, at a coin show in Chicago.
The seller had an complete spread of about 25 pieces and allowed me to cherry pick this one. PCGS MS67. Frankly I thought it would make 68.

An unexpectedly good purchase for me at yesterday's St. James's sale. The 1601 pattern halfpenny (lot 556) given as ex Foster and Nicholson. A spot of judicious digging today has revealed it is also ex Brice, Montagu, Murdoch, Hazlitt, Watters, Blyth, Clarke-Thornhill and Gantz. For good measure, it's weight of 17.16 grains also matches exactly that of the Earl of Pembroke's (d.1733) piece which was unfortunately bought by a dealer at the Sothebys sale in 1848 when the collection was dispersed. Nonetheless . Bought at the 4th opportunity.

1821 Shilling NGC MS65 Cheshire collection. This is a one year type coin that fits nicely into my shilling type set, it has the look.
You betcha!.
The shilling is very nice too...

Is it possible to upload an image here directly from your computer?
Mac has given me one way around the size limitations but I'm wondering
about a direct upload.
Can it be done? If so I'd appreciate some information on how to do it.
Thanks......
