This week’s fresh listings:

This page is to be updated every Tuesday and will contain all the latest Coin, Medal & Token listings for that particular week.

The more observant of you may have realised that I no longer keep previous "Fresh Listings" coins on this page.

All for sale coins can be found via the category grid on the front page. Most sold coins are now accessible via a new link on that same category grid.

Additions to www.HistoryInCoins.com for week commencing Tuesday 16th September 2025

WMH-9201: Extremely Rare Mint Edward 1st Medieval Hammered Silver Penny. Unusually, no star or pellet on breast - class 9b, circa 1299-1300. VILL' KYN GES TON - the very rare Kingston upon Hull mint. There were three reverse dies: VILL, VILL' and VIL' so this would be the second die, class 9b2. The no star or pellet on breast obverse die is by far the rarest. Chester, Kingston-upon-Hull and Exeter are the rarest of all the Edward 1st provincial mints (Kingston-upon-Hull and Exeter also being the only Edward 1st pennies issued over a single class). Out of the 12,236 pennies found in the Aberdeen Hoard of 1886, over 12,000 were English with only 2 being from the Chester mint (both class IIIg), a single coin from Kingston (IXb) and only two from Exeter (IXb). To give some context, Bristol is far from common and yet there were x52 Bristol mint coins in that hoard; London was well over 5,000 coins. The few coins you do see from these three rare mints are nearly always worn. This is a particularly good example with provenance back to 2016. An extremely rare coin, more so with grade and rarer obverse die. £445

The following coin has come off reservation and is now available to purchase. A couple of people expressed a strong interest in buying this coin whist it was reserved but I failed to keep the correspondence, foolishly thinking that the original buyer would follow through, something which he continually promised he would do, until he changed his mind and didn't.

WMH-9151: Choice Henry II Tealby Medieval Hammered Silver Penny. Cross and Crosslets issue, class C2, circa 1163-67. Carlisle mint - [+]PIL[L]AM.ON.CAR[D]. S.R. 1539. Immediately following on from Stephen. Henry of Anjou became Henry II upon the death of Stephen - a monarch who had an extremely tenuous claim to the throne and who only stayed as king because he agreed to let Stephen, Matilda's son, to ascend upon his death - and even though an impressive 29 mints were opened to produce coinage, the quality was just as poor, maybe even worse, as the Stephen coinage. Of those 29 mints, only around a third continued after Henry's recoinage to the voided short cross and come the later long cross issues, far fewer than that. Good provenance - see old tickets here. Outstanding portrait - in fact probably the best I've ever had - and the rarer mint town. Old tickets here. The recent CNG Lincoln class A penny (only marginally better than this Carlisle example) achieved a hammer price of $1,200 which as a general rule of thumb, after commissions, comes out at about £1,200. You'll really struggle to find better, especially now that the Lincoln example has found a new home! £885

There is also value in keeping the 9th September Fresh Listings up for just one more week.

WMH-9199: Stephen Hammered Silver Norman Penny - York Ornamental Group, Flag Type - Battle of Northallerton. Obverse: +STIEF N E R, crowned bust of Stephen, right, holding lance and pennant (or flag standard) with mullet or star in field; reverse: cross moline with fleur-de-lis in each angle, linear circle and legend surrounding with symbols and the odd letter interspersed and interestingly, an apparent Cross Pattée as a reverse initial mark (similar to the obverse initial mark), as opposed to the usual reverse Cross Moline initial mark. Attributed to the "Ornamented Group of York mint": the lance and pennant is thought to represent the Battle of the Standard, sometimes called the Battle of Northallerton. On the 22nd August 1138, the English forces, rallied by the Archbishop of York, defeated the invading Scottish army (led by King David I) at Cowton Moor, near Northallerton. The battle was a result of King David's support for his niece, Matilda, in the English succession dispute following the death of King Henry I. The English army carried the sacred standard of St. Cuthbert on a cart. Mack listed sixteen examples of this type, at least eight of which are now in museums - this coin is not a die-match to any of those sixteen. More recently, Dr Martin Allen has published a paper in the Numismatic Chronicle, Volume 176, 2016 titled "The York Local Coinage of the Reign of Stephen (1135-54)", where the flag types are listed as Phase 3. Dr Allen lists x36 examples of flag types across x21 different die varieties. This reverse die is unlisted in that seminal research publication. Reference: Allen York 31var (the unlisted reverse die), Mack 217p, S.R.1313, North 919. 1.21g. Toned, Good VF with excellent metal and completely problem-free. Choice and clearly very rare indeed, particularly so in this grade. Find better! £8,995

Provenance:

ex Baldwin's 40 sale, lot 145, May 2005

WJC-9200: Charles 1st Hammered Silver Halfcrown with Outstanding Provenance. Group IV, fourth horseman, type 4, foreshortened horse.

Of good weight at 14.51g. S.R.2779. Excellent provenance - see old tickets here. Approaching VF for issue. £675
