Coin #1 Picture to come
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c...dwardrev.jpg
Coin 2 and 3?
I am a bit confused. Am I correct in saying 10F and 10D are both from the period 1302 to 1310?
But Edward the first died in 1307.
So would my coins be Edward the 1st? and Edward the 2 coins did not start minting untill 1310 (3 year after the start of his reign?)
Yes, don't you just love the ambiguous nature of it all? Edward I died in 1307, but issues of Class 10 (regardless of it's subclass letter [i.e A through to F] ran from 1302-1310, so your 10F coin might have been issued before your 10D coin was!) Class 10 though was brought in during Edward I's reign and for the most part they were Edward I issues except for the 1307-10 span. However, that back end part of the issue is considered Edward I posthumous. I don't think it's a case of when the coins were issued so much but more when the dies were manufactured and when they were handed out. That information will no doubt be in some pipe rolls somewhere (if they still survive), but generally they kept pretty strict accounts of who made the dies, were they went, how many they were and who used them. The old saying puts it best "waste not, want not", if your Edward I dies were still useable then they got used, you couldn't throw away a perfectly good set of dies just because the king had snuffed it, waste of money and as a moneyer you needed to make a profit to live. The longer the dies last the better. Coin 1 appears to be an early Edward I issue. EDWA or EDWR. |

Bradley: Just in case you're still wondering about your 1912 penny: welcome to the wonderful world of the disappearing, reappearing scenery! The full story is:
Pennies to 1860: just Britannia: no sea background at all.
Pennies 1860-1894: Britannia now as the sea, a lighthouse and a sailing ship in background.
Pennies 1894-1936: The lighthouse and ship disappear again. Just the sea remains.
Pennies 1937-1967: The lighthouse returns, but the ship remains absent.
There are two varieties of 1912 penny. The one with a "H" mintmark left of the date is slightly scarcer than the one without.

They're Edward I designs, whether they were minted in Edward I's reign or Edward II's, well there is no way you'll ever know. You can call them Edward I/II coins if you like, dealers just call them Ed I because the design dates from that reign. They might both have been struck in 1309 making them from Edward II's reign, similarly they might both have been struck in 1303. So you're pretty free to call them what you like there's no right or wrong, I was merely stating the standard practice of grouping everything under the nice blanket term of Edward I.

Yeah I can get very confusing, don't worry if you get a little lost i'll try my best to re-explain it. Although as you can appreciate when you've got all these numbers and letters flying around, three kings with the same name and overlaps in what's minted where, it can get very hectic! It's quite technical you know! Bring the fourth coin on as soon as you can! Coin 1 might take a while to identify though. |

Bradley: 1912H penny: Depends on condition, and demand over there in the UK. I'd guess a pound or two, for a typical specimen? Check your local ebay for what they're going for over there. Jersey 1871: I assume it's a penny (thirteenth-shilling): again, a couple of pounds seems reasonable, for typical condition. These coins are slightly pricier as the grade increases - they probably have a worldwide novelty value as "odd denomination" coins. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Hi all, I collect fairly modern coins from the world over, not anything rare I just enjoy all the different designs and such. I also collect US Large Cents, Barber dimes, Walking Liberty Halfs, and other odds and ends. I want to start working on a specific British set. The big question is what set, where to start, there are so many different subjects. What are some popular collections to build in British coinage? Preferably silver?
A good place to start IMHO is the Victoria Farthings from 1839-- They are fun and you can still compelte a set- Whitman also has the album for them-or did have. A good place to concentrate is the Victoria Major type set- however, this one can get a bit pricy- but if you want really nice Florins, Crowns etc; and as someone here said, there is great history attached to these. Victoria is one of my favorite ladies. It took me about 4 years to complete the Victoria Major type set- due to the price of the Gothic Crown (I finally found one grade AU-Unc from a guy in Tasmania- They are worth three to four times now against what I paid for mine- This Major type set is a beautiful set to work on. VIctoria in 1833 looks like she invented the pony tail hair do. (Ha) I am going to include a link here-> http://www.coincentre.co.uk/ I have dealt with this company for a number of years- As you observed- prices are in pounds- so have your conversion chart handy. The owner (William) is I think impecable in his dealings. IF you specify surface mail, your wait will be longer- but reduces your cost. I have collected UK for a number of years- Feel free to email me for any further questions- dew001@juno.com I have a lot of duplicates in the Shillings, half crowns and brass three pence (thistle) in War years available if you do not wish to wait and many of mine are at earlier (lessor prices) - habiru001 call me Dewey
Thanks Tony

This coin is long gone, but I seem to remember it feeling like a hockey puck when I took the pictures.
 HI Bobby, I still have mine- and due to the unique characteristics of it- think I will pass it to my heirs along with other stuff- Copper was in great abundance in the Wales especially so they could afford to use a lot of it. I think That began to change during the war of 1812- Anyway, I love this coin- and try to imagine myself carrying a few of these- And by the way, you could buy a really good meal with 3-to 6 of these.
