i agree its a lizzy 1st, but more like a penny perhaps? Title: Re: coin for id please. Post by: nobby on March 10, 2014, 08:28:36 PM Too small for a sixpence.... Could be a three halfpence

Post by: Chef Geoff on March 10, 2014, 08:29:26 PM It's as you said first Roger a threepence but all Lizzy coins were minted at the Tower mint in London, as to price Ebay is the best place to look for current market prices and going by condition then between £10 and £20 seems to be the going rate. ;)

Post by: Chef Geoff on March 10, 2014, 08:49:38 PM No if you look at your book you'll see that the difference in size between different denominations is quite small and when clipped can be exactly the same and so the rose is on every other denomination
Shilling....no rose Sixpence...rose Groat......no rose Threepence...rose Half Groat...no rose Three halfpence....rose Penny....no rose Three Farthings...rose ;) Title: Re: coin for id please. Post by: Dryland on March 10, 2014, 08:52:25 PM I wonder if she suffered from hay fever ?

Title: Re: coin for id please. Post by: probono on March 11, 2014, 11:08:12 AM As you said it's great to find something like that that's been lost all those years, even if it isn't the most valuble item in the world.
I've not sold anything I've found - except those items which the museum will require me to sell to them (although eventually I will take the lead to the scrappy!) |
