Henry III silver coin

1247 Henry III hammered silver voided longcross penny - Class 3a

This is a fascinating coin with an off stuck cross which makes it appear staggered. The Moneyer is clearly Nichole but the mint is not in C.Wren's book. Mint clearly starts VCE which his no known mint ? I will be sending this off to the hammered silver expert at the British museum for his views.

Saxon silver coin

Saxon C600 - 775 AD Silver Sceat sent to Fitzwilliam museum for recording and ID 12.08mm,1.25g

Many thanks for this interesting new find, which I have recorded as EMC 2008.0410. This seems to be a new variety of the Vernus type, with an inscripion reading VE[N?]VEO. It does not really belong to any of the varieties of the Vernus type described in Michael Metcalf's Thrymsas and Sceattas.

The curved object on the obverse is probably derived from the 'plumed bird' type of Series E, which Metcalf suggests is the origin of the Vernus type. The relatively high weight is normal for the Vernus type, but your comment about the debasement of the silver is interesting.

Regards,

Martin

Roman silver coin

This is a Tiberius Denarius of the so-called "Tribute Penny" type - reverse is Livia (his mother, the presumed poisoner of many of the Julio-Claudians) seated right. This was virtually the only type of denarius issued by Tiberius over his long reign from 14-37 AD. You have had at least one specimen of this type before, about which I wrote at some length if I recall correctly, so I would refer you to my earlier description and explanation of the type.
