r/MedievalCoin

Esta sceatta la compré en una subasta hace aproximadamente tres años. No sé que tan rara pueda ser, espero que os guste.

Thoughts on this seller, hes been nothing but solid for me (from what I noticed) but also went off Vcoins and there are some complaints on other platforms (it was TLDR so i didn't get the whole gist of the article because i was driving to work)

Hi, I'm looking for people's opinions as to whether or not this is a genuine coin

I know it's technically a Tudor coin rather than medieval but I thought this subreddit was the best place to post it.

The seller is on eBay (which I generally don't trust) so that's why I'm asking for other people's thoughts on this before I even consider making an offer on it.

I mostly collect Roman and greek coins but have recently started getting into medieval and Tudor stuff, that's why I'm looking for another opinion before I make any decision on this.

What's the verdict?

Thanks

The classifications I found of it:

Richard II: York Penny 1377 – 88 (Rose on Breast) – Type Ia3

Mintmark: Cross

Obv: ✠ RICARDVS REX ANGLIE

Rev: CIVI TAS EBO RACI

I’ve recently found out that my Elizabeth I silver sixpence pendant is being disclaimed after going through the Treasure process, so once the formalities are finished it should be returned to me.
I’m actually quite conflicted about what to do with it

I absolutely loved finding it and I’ve already had a huge amount of enjoyment from the whole process - identifying it, reporting it, having it examined and formally documented through PAS/Treasure.
I’ll always have the photographs, report, PAS record and the story of finding it.

The unusual part is the attached S-shaped silver suspension loop, which appears to be the particularly interesting feature and may be contemporary with the Tudor coin.

It’s a 1566 Elizabeth I sixpence that was deliberately pierced and converted into a pendant.

My dilemma is that I live in a small flat and realistically I’m not going to have it properly displayed for quite some time.

I can obviously store it carefully, but there’s a part of me that feels uncomfortable owning an archaeological object like this only for it to sit unseen in a box.

I also worry about whether I’m the best long-term custodian of something that has survived for around 460 years.

Part of what appealed to me about museum acquisition was knowing that it would be professionally preserved, recorded and potentially enjoyed by other people.

Now that it’s coming back to me, I’m wondering whether I should keep it and eventually make a proper museum-style display, or consider selling it to a collector who would appreciate and look after it properly.

If I did ever sell it, I have the full documentation from the Treasure process, including the PAS/Treasure references and Crown disclaimer, so its provenance is completely documented. I wouldn’t just stick it on eBay — I’d want to do it properly, perhaps through a specialist auction house.

Has anyone here been in a similar position after a Treasure case was disclaimed? Would something like this actually interest collectors?

And if I decide to keep it, what would you recommend as the safest way of storing it for the next few years until I have somewhere suitable to display it?

My main concern is simply making sure I don’t inadvertently damage something that has survived this long.

This is what I think is a medieval coin. I have just started collecting these and trying to find the references. I tried artificial intelligence three times and got three different answers. 😒 I'm hoping one of you experts can tell me about this coin.

I've properly identified it now I think

Edward I Penny, London, Class 1c, Retrograde N in DON + DNS, Double Barred A's.

An absolute beauty either way

they are from Byzantine, medieval Serbia, a ½ siliqua of Theodoric the great and one half grosso from the time of Lorenzo Tiepolo. with Christ the Pantokrator ❤️‍🩹

I'm currently evaluating a **Siculo-Punic Tetradrachm** (Herakles/Melqart in lion skin / Horse head with palm tree, \~17.75g) for potential acquisition as a long-term piece for my collection.

Before finalizing the purchase, I'd love to get some insights from the experienced collectors here:

1. **Authenticity & Condition:** Based on the high-res photos/video (cross-referenced with NGC imagery), everything looks sharp and high grade (Strike 5/5, Surface 5/5 level). Does anyone notice any subtle red flags or die-match details I should be aware of?

2. **Valuation: How much should my offer be? What’s considered as a fair offer?**

Necesito ayuda para identificar este sello.

Buenas tardes, hace un par de semanas compré un sello de plomo bizantino en una subasta española, aunque en la subasta no sé especificaba ningún tipo de identificación del mismo.

Lo cierto es que llevo estas dos semanas intentando identificarlo pero no lo consigo, hay letras que no me encajan o que no leo bien.

Soy nuevo en esto, es el primer sello que intento identificar, pero no consigo resultado.

Os comento lo que he concluido por el momento:

1- El sello probablemente data del siglo X-XI.

2- En la tercera línea parece que puedo leer el cargo de STRATEGOS, pero no estoy tan seguro.

3- El anverso tiene un texto ilegible que, probablemente, incluya lo que la mayoría de sellos con esta tipología incluye, una leyenda que indica "Señor ayuda a tu siervo".

No sé qué más datos podría extraer de aquí... No sé si alguien es capaz de leer el nombre, otros cargos o el thema.

Muchas gracias, es mi primera publicación en este reddit, me encanta la numismática bizantina.
