Lets see if we can build a database of links to helpful world and ancient coin webpages.

I will start with Wildwinds, a very helpful page for the ID of ancient coins:

For my personal collecting interest, which is British Anglo-Saxon coins, I use the following resources:

British Numismatic Journal archives (100+ years of scholarship, free to read in PDF format)

Timothy Cook hammered coin collection (This collection has a terrific variety of Anglo-Saxon mints, especially for coins of Cnut)

Keith Chapman collection of Early Northumbrian coins (Very specialized but extensive collection of early Northumbrian sceats, with a numbering system that has not been widely accepted)

Identification help for the long cross pennies of Henry III

Coins of Stephen and the Anarchy

Early Medieval Corpus at FitzWilliam museum (database of British Anglo-Saxon coins including those recorded by metal detectorists and also from the SCBI series)

Excellent source for European auction house results. A must for any European focused collector (German States/Austrian States/Italian States/Switzerland Cantons/etc):

Don't forget about the website links from our very own forum member's pages. This is just a couple that come to mind - many more are out there.

An amazing collection of Commonwealth coins with high res photos, an 1889 Straits Proof 50c (a unique coin), an early Hong Kong/Shianghai Tael pattern, proof gold sovereigns and half sovereigns from branch mints, etc.

Thank you for these contributions. Some of these sites I had bookmarked previously, others are new to me.

I am a novice collector focusing on Canadian, Irish and Japanese coins.

I like looking at raw coins and then try to work out appropriate price and grade. Price discovery requires a lot of research bordering on detective work. In the end though it is what the seller and buyer agree upon. And yes, I have made many mistakes. In the process though I have learned which dealers are fair and also who provides an education (more valuable sometimes than the coin itself).

Japanese Coin Dates

Okay, my first attempt at linking with my tablet and the new software. Hopefully it works. The page is a nice way to get a quick understanding for dating Japanese coins. Basic, but useful for new people.
