Dooly and his risky bids "Yep i am at it again !"

Hi all ..been hunting on eBay and found these lots of coins listed under other world coins from a jewelry seller !! could be a blinder but we will see how they are in the hand

 

loved the way that the seller stuck the coins down with sellotape

 

PS. there are a couple of USA coins in the lots as well.. anyone fancy a shot at trying to guess what the enlarged coin may be

 

Lot 1: $2.00

Lot 2: $24.00

 

? would you have had a go at these lots ?

Methinks the coin you are thinking of in lot #2 is a replica. I probably wouldn't touch either with a 10-ft pole

nice one Chad.. that's what gives me a buzz it could have a great big COPY stamped on the reverse if not it could be 400-500 years old.. come on mister post man drop it in my letter box !!!!

I hope it in an actual cob, but you might be disappointed.

 

Good luck!

[dooly]

No chad that's definitely not a cob its English

Based on the images and what I have briefly looked at, I would say leave it be.

To late rey there mine still only one gess on what the coin may be shall i give you a little clue.. 1620's and silver ?

[koincollector]

Is that a Charles I half crown? Can just make out the "REG" in the legend. If real then a great find!

Nice one koincollector... i was a bit mean as the photo of the coin is sideways in the sellers picture

 

 

My guess is that it is a Class 4 Tower mint under parliament (1642-48) hammered shilling

 

hear it is right way up.. the legend should read CHRISTO AUSPICE REGNO but what has got me puzzled is the mint mark as i can find no reference to a Star as a mint mark only a Sun

 

 

As for the condition of the coin the "under Parliament" coins are usually shaped like this due the poor quality of production

Man, how did you get all that out of that blurry little ugly photo? Have you got Xray vision or something?

[dooly]

AhA! Dooly vision
