Title: Re: gold I.D. please pete Post by: 16.5DD (richard) on February 21, 2010, 09:51:24 PM yes kev i think you may be correct as the lettering seems to be that of richard ii.
the cross pattee also on edward 3 but letters are different. i think peter will confirm your id . seaby (1672/3 and 1677) type near fine with damage and clipped heavily around the whole coin. Title: Re: gold I.D. please pete Post by: The Doc on February 21, 2010, 10:30:55 PM It's a great find, but due to the pictures being blurred I can't give an ID yet. The obverse (shield side) doesn't look right to me and seems to begin with "Ph"
I notice you've been asked to provide better pictures for UKDFD. Any chance of some larger sharper pictures on here as well please? Title: Re: gold I.D. please pete Post by: zorro on February 22, 2010, 11:39:51 AM Peter here's a more clearer pic of the noble. it does seem to start with "Ph" though the "h" is slightly clipped. got me completely stumped anyway.
have tried to replace photo on ukdfd will have to wait as "exceeded my quota of 1 record per day". any ideas peter? Title: Re: gold I.D. please pete Post by: shunggav on February 22, 2010, 01:07:51 PM It a richard the 2nd

Title: Re: gold I.D. please pete Post by: zorro on February 22, 2010, 02:01:42 PM I initially thought Richard then noticed the obv seems to start with "Ph".. so now not sure..... ???
Title: Re: gold I.D. please pete Post by: bobcat on February 22, 2010, 03:49:40 PM ZORRO IT DOSENT LOOK LIKE NONE OF THE BLOODY RING PULLS I HAD BOBCAT
Title: Re: gold I.D. please pete Post by: zorro on February 22, 2010, 08:03:00 PM Dont talk to me about ring pulls ...if i had saved all the ones i have dug and weighed them in i'd be able to buy a quarter noble!
Title: Re: gold I.D. please pete Post by: Kev on February 26, 2010, 12:52:02 PM KEV & VIVhave the gold coin been id proper yet ;)
Title: Re: gold I.D. please pete Post by: zorro on February 26, 2010, 12:57:27 PM kev thinkmy dads' taking it to swansea archaeologists today. Early thinking is its a forgery or foreign but causing a bit of a stir. still awaiting for authentication on ukdfd site. if Rod's not sure then thats something cos that guy is amazing re: coin Id's.
he even got Nigel nicholson involved and neither are totally sure. will keep you in touch anyway Title: Re: gold I.D. please pete Post by: Kev on February 26, 2010, 01:19:22 PM looking forward to finding out what it is. as you said ROD BLUNT & NIGEL NICKLESON are he top guys on coins if they are not sure ???...............
Title: Re: gold I.D. please pete Post by: zorro on February 26, 2010, 01:35:22 PM just noticed this on ukdfd. seems to raise more questions than answers:-
coin has titles of philip the bold, duke of normandy and count of flanders but arms of England. even if its an imitation its very interesting i think. http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=23740&cat=500 (http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=23740&cat=500) Title: Re: gold I.D. please pete Post by: Kev on February 26, 2010, 01:43:06 PM ??? ::) the mind boggles on this coin KEV ??? ;) WHAT A CHOICE they have given.
