Title: One for Bugbrooke Ben, et al Post by: handyman [Alan} on October 08, 2014, 03:46:40 PM Hi guys
Well, here's a challenge for one of DW's youngest members ... Before the experts offer their opinion on who it is, and its class, lets see if Ben can get the ID of the coin. Me, i have no idea who it is ... except its got to be before Edward V [had to say that before Cheffy got in with it!] ;D ;D ;D cheers Title: Re: One for Bugbrooke Ben, et al Post by: The Doc on October 08, 2014, 05:10:15 PM Hi Alan. It would help Ben (and me) if you told us the size of the coin in millimeters please.

Title: Re: One for Bugbrooke Ben, et al Post by: BugbrookeBen on October 09, 2014, 06:37:30 PM Hi guys,
I think it's Edward iii Halfpenny or Farthing, London mint, Second coinage ??? Title: Re: One for Bugbrooke Ben, et al Post by: Dale on October 09, 2014, 07:29:54 PM Hi guys, I think it's Edward iii Halfpenny or Farthing, London mint, Second coinage ??? Nice id Ben, your right its a Edward III halfpenny, second coinage (star marked) 9 times out of 10 the star looks like a blob, look after ANG on the obv and DON on the rev, and you will see what I mean. Keep up the good work ;) Title: Re: One for Bugbrooke Ben, et al Post by: handyman [Alan} on October 09, 2014, 07:42:33 PM Wow, very well done Ben [aged 11/12] and thank you Dale for the encouragement. Its really pleasing to see one so young being able to ID such coinage. How you work out the different eddies, i just dont know!! ??? ???
Oh, and I'm so pleased that its eddie 3, as its only the 5th one i've found.!!! Title: Re: One for Bugbrooke Ben, et al Post by: The Doc on October 09, 2014, 08:07:46 PM Well done Ben, keep up the good work :)
