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.

 

Additions to www.HistoryInCoins.com for week commencing Tuesday 26th September 2023

 

** Useful Information **

 

I have NOT increased old stock prices on this site in line with either cost of living or coin inflation for over a decade.

I do NOT put pull any old stock coins (once on this site, it stays on this site until sold).

I've just had a quick look and noticed many of the old stock coins on HistoryInCoins.com are now priced below not just market prices, but below dealer buying-in prices.

(VF 1646 Newark Halfcrown, Harthacnut penny in the name of Harthacnut, etc)

 

 

WMH-7863:  Henry 1st Hammered Silver Norman Penny.  B.M.C. I, the Autumn of 1100 only: +GDPINE ON PIILI – Godwine of Wallingford.  Spink 1263.  Only one other example recorded on the EMC and SCBI database.  Found Prestonfield (Hampshire) 2005, sold DNW September 2005 into a private collection until now.  Sold with old tickets.  The very first issue under Henry 1st and very much predating the mint's need to officially test cut coins (this practise commenced 1105).  An exceptionally rare coin.  £1,375

 

WMH-7864:  Henry 1st Hammered Silver Norman Penny.  B.M.C. VII, 1111 only: +EDPINE ON CATN – Edwine of Canterbury.  Spink 1268.  Only one other example (x2 entries but actually the same coin, and a particularly grim example at that!) recorded on the EMC and SCBI database.  Type 7 coins were actually struck after type 9 coins but were still very much within the period where the mint was required to officially test cut all coins (this practise commenced 1105).  A very rare coin.  £545

 

WMH-7865:  Henry 1st Hammered Silver Norman Penny.  B.M.C. XIV, 1123 only: +ESGAR ON GLOCESE – Esgar of Gloucester.  Spink 1275.  No examples recorded on the EMC and SCBI database, although the accompanying literature states two other coins known: one in the Gloucester Museum and the other a cut half out of the 1987 Beauvais Coin Hoard - the former will never be in public hands; the latter's whereabouts are unknown.  Sold with old tickets - the detailed ticket looks to be 1980's with the Baldwin ticket (with Baldwin coin envelope) more recent.  It is interesting to note that Baldwin's rate this coin as RRR.  An exceptionally rare coin.  £995

 

WMH-7866:  Edward IV Hammered Silver Medieval Provincial Mint Groat.  First reign, light coinage of 1464-70.  VIL LAB RIS TOW reading - Bristol mint, Spink 2004.  Initial mark Crown (very clear both sides), an equally clear "B" on the breast, and quatrefoils by the neck.  A very nice example.  £345

 

WMH-7867:  Edward IV Hammered Silver Medieval Provincial Mint Groat.  First reign, light coinage of 1464-70.  CIVI TAS COV TRE reading - the very rare Coventry mint, Spink 2008.  Initial mark Sun (not a mule of rose/sun as described on the old ticket), C on breast, and quatrefoils by the neck.  This mint was only operational for x72 days right at the start of the Light Coinage.  After those few short days, the mint closed.  A rare coin.  £435

 

WI-7868:  Henry VII Irish Hammered Silver Early Tudfor Groat.  Late portrait issue coinage of 1496-1505.  "CIVI TAS DVBL InIE" reading - Dublin mint, Spink 6451.  Initial mark Lis, broad portrait, very much double-punched, which was a definite characteristic of this particular group due to issues with the shallow nature of the dies.  £435
