Identification It is not our responsibility to identify your coins.

36 Upvotes

Lots of posts lately involving users asking us to identify some massive amount of low quality coins. While it is ok to ask us for identification help, we will not tolerate spamming and pushing too hard to identify your crap coins so that you don’t have to do any work. This is becoming an issue, and for now we will just remove your posts if it becomes too demanding or spammed too much. In the future we might move to banning if we feel it is necessary. This sub was not created to identify low quality coins for people that don’t want to do any work.

why are Byzantine coins considered or always categorized as ancient coins?

6 Upvotes

the East west split happened in 395. The medieval era started in 476 with the fall of western rome. Byzantine empire didnt fall until 1453 (the end of the Medieval era to some) that being said the Byzantine empire spent the vast majority of its life in the Medieval era, so why is it always categorized as ancient? Unless they are seeing it as an unbroken continuation of Rome itself (still feels like a strech)

Edward I penny identification

2 Upvotes

Can anybody identify which Edward I penny it is? I am new to this so I found it quite difficult to identify, because there looks to be a breast mark unique to class 5, but the cross looks to be cross pattee. I am using the coin searcher by Rod Blunt for my identification.

Newly Acquired My newest penny from Empress Matilda!

After several months, I finally got my hands on an Angevins penny depicting Empress Matilda!

This example was minted in Bristol (Turchil of Bristol), and it has been fractured and repaired. But with her coins being so hard to find I didn't want to be picky. Most of her features are there too!

The last two photos are my current collection of Anarchy coins, which also includes a Stephen penny and halfpenny.

I'm so happy to have this dream coin in my collection at last. 😊
