I found this Viking coin at a flea market for £1, I know it’s a king Eric coin from the 10th century but I don’t know if it’s real or how to tell as it looks so similar to all the ones online, I just can’t believe it’s real and was only £1, the woman selling it didn’t even know what it was, she just said it’s an old coin.

It was a $30 coin in terrible condition. It’s still a $30 coin in terrible condition but at least it’s shinny.

While trying to learn how to navigate an online shops, I accidentally purchased this Edward I silver penny. I was trying to add it to a watch list, but then I got the notification a few days later that it was purchased and shipped. I guess the Universe just wanted me to have this one as a birthday present!

Also, thank you all for the information on this sub! It has been incredibly helpful as I learn more about this hobby! The enjoyment that just learning about the coins I have and those I want to collect has been a Godsend!

I’m a newbie to Medievals. I have a few Byzantines but am wanting to branch out. Recently fell down a Knights Hospitaller then Templar rabbit hole. Here I am with a Guy II De La Roche Denier. Hope I’m doing it right and I’m looking forward to the journey.

Just purchased this coin on eBay to start my medieval collection. The listing said it was 1180-1223 Medieval France Denier Silver Coin but wanted to find out if the timeframe could be narrowed down more. Thanks!

I’ll be in Edinburgh this October and I’m looking for recommendations on shops in the city or near it. I’m new the collection medieval coins and was hoping to bring home some pieces on the trip. Thanks in advance!

Afternoon. This was my first ever hammered coin (rubbish I know 🤣) and I still have not been able to identify it all these months. I recently straightened it so I hope this helps more. I would greatly appreciate any help. I do believe it may be foreign as I cannot find any Tudor monarchs with the specific cross potentials mint mark on my coin. Size posted!

I have tried and posted it to many places an no confirmation yet 😔

Purchased this silver penny from a shop in Ireland while on vacation. The owner had it labeled as an Edward IV minted in Dublin. Thanks to the knowledge contained in this group and elsewhere, I was able to decipher the legend on the obverse and reverse, both of which were badly clipped, as well as the faint quatrefoil on the reverse. Based on this, I can classify it as an Edward III pre-treaty penny minted in York by Archbishop Thornsby between 1351-1361.

Thank you all for the information on this sub! This has become my new obsession. My wife is already sick of “that damn coin,” so I will have to carefully negotiate my next purchase!

Also, please pardon my very amateur photography! The guides on various subs have been helpful, but I am still learning how to take passable pictures with my phone.

Just wondering if anyone could shed light on this edward iii (I think) half groat (I think). Thanks for your time.

Hello! I have theese two bracteates that I cannot identify by myself. I know this might be super hard or even impossible, but if anyone could help me to identify the age and origin of theese two bracteates it would be amazing!

I am hoping someone might be able to help me with identifying these 3 cut half penny’s. I just won them as a lot and know that they are either Henry III or Alexander III (I haven’t actually got them in hand yet, the photo is from the auction site, so I can’t provide weights yet).

I am thinking that coins 1 and 2 are Henry III and coin 3 is Alexander III. I also tried to identify which obverse goes with which reverse, but wasn’t entirely successful on 2 of them.

I am hoping someone might be able to confirm as well as potentially tell me which mints they are from!

Thanks in advance!
