Withers Andrew Williams PREFACE v Thank you for buying the new 43rd edition of Coins of England, still the most comprehensive and accurate single-volume reference work featuring market values for every major coin type jrom ancient Celtic Britain to the present day. ix was always tradition for this book to appear on the shelves during September; however, with Jost year’s edition appearing later than usual in November due to the changeover to full colour printing it allowed us to also incorporate much more up-to-date pricing information based on the busy ‘Coinex’ week of auctions in London. We therefore feel that a November release date makes this catalogue more relevant, taking in statistics from the entire year in the coin trade. Coinex’ week this year proved that the market was as buoyant as ever for English coins, our own auction at Spink on 27 September realising a staggering total of £1,914,747 with several items selling for as much as twenty times their estimates! The highlight of the sale was our featured cover coin for this year’s Coins of England, the Charles II “Petition” Crown by Thomas Simon which sold for an astounding £207,100. ‘This numismatic masterpiece is the creation of the great engraver, Thomas Simon. Following the Restoration of the Monarchy Charles II ordered trials for a milled coinage from the Royal Mint. Simon, aggrieved that he had not been given the commission, was determined to win the King over and be chosen as the official designer with his clever concepts. Thomas Simon engraved the dies for this Crown featuring a bust of Charles II on the obverse with “Simon” engraved just below the King’s clothed neckline. The “Petition” is two hundred raised letters in two lines around the coin’s rim which is only 35mm in depth and reads: THOMAS SIMON MOST HVMBLY PRAYS YOVR MAJESTY TO COMARE THIS HIS TRYALL PIECE WITH THE DVTCH AND IF MORE TRVLY DRAWN & EMBOSS'D MORE GRACE; FVLLY ORDER'D AND MORE ACCURATELY ENGRAVEN TO RELIEVE HIM ‘The “Petition” Crown was presented at the King’s court, an incident recorded by Samuel Pepys in his diary, Simon’s engraving was greatly admired and won him a position at the Royal Mint as one of the Chief Engravers. Whilst it is a ‘Pattern’ piece and not issued for circulation it is nevertheless one of the finest English coins ever struck. Work is always in progress to improve this book but errors do creep in and many of those which found their way in to last year’s edition have been picked up by the keen eyes of collectors and specialists. Thank you to everyone who took the time to write to us with comments, both positive and negative, it all helps to upgrade, with you, the user in mind, We encourage more feedback but do stress that the book is intended to be a guide to the standard lypes of English coinage and not a specialised work and many of the suggestions that we receive simply are not practical to include in this book. If you are looking for more detailed information about your coins then we refer you to the bibliography in Appendix I, most of the ‘idles quoted there are available from the Book Department at Spink where we stock thousands of titles on coins. Don’t forget that as well as holding auctions of coins, Spink are active dealers in coins, medals, oknotes and stamps and we would be pleased to hear from you if you are looking for that clusive item for your collection or if you are thinking of selling, please feel free to contact one of our specialists. 1! you are in London, why not call in to meet with us at our newly refurbished showroom in central London where you always will find a warm welcome and expert advice on hand. Happy collecting, until next year. Philip Skingley Editor, Coins of Englandvi MARKET TRENDS The market for British coins remains very strong indeed. Prices continue to grow thougl the emphasis is more than ever on higher grade rarities especially those which carry weighty provenance. At this top end of the market the conditions remain where a limit supply is met with a growing demand. The past year has seen the arrival in the market o new buyers attracted to coins by the relative affordability vis-&-vis other collectables. justre. On average we see a rise of 15% in the values for the top quoted grade of very fine in the hammered series against only a 6% overall rise in prices in the fine grade. In the earl milled series values given for coins in extremely fine condition have on average rise1 some 11% against a rise of only 4% for specimens in very fine condition. The later milled, the bread and butter of much of the numismatic business, remains vibrant with rare date: continuing to rise; on average around 10%. Certain series have performed particularly well. At a memorable sale in Copenhagen i December of 2006 an extremely fine London monogram type portrait penny of Alfred thi Great fetched £13,000 - more than double the previous record for this popular coin. Suc prices are indicative of the growth of interest in the Saxon series, in particular portrait Pennies from the middle period, and collectors now appreciate the rarity of this series i the higher grades. Common late Saxon pennies are selling strongly and frequently attra multiple orders when listed in the Numismatic Circular. Medieval hammered silver remains a popular series though it would be interesting to si how prices would respond should a quality collection of choice specimens appear fo sale. The large but mixed grade Ivan Buck collection sold by Spink in November 200: was readily absorbed by the market but there has been no comparable offering since. Handsome medieval gold type coins are selling particularly well. Obverse: Blank Flan Type Lege The demand for quality Tudor and Stuart remains insatiable. The attraction for sellin md in the current conditions is obvious though many established collectors continue to hol clearly confident in future market growth. Formed over the last 25 years the Dr Ferrari collection of Crowns was sold by Spink in June 2007, and clearly demonstrated how impressive the returns could be with extremely fine hammered Crowns realising doubl the level they were making in the Van Roekel sale in 2001. Field Exergue Die The Spink Coinex week sale on the 27th of September 2007 continued the tradition of producing record prices. The highlight was the ‘Glenister’ Petition Crown of Charles which made an astonishing £207,000 the first British silver coin to break the £200,000) level. The previous record was also held by a Petition Crown, the Slaney specimen sol Die variety Mule by Spink in 2003 for £138,000. some o In addition to the Glenister collection this sale also offered an excellent selection offf °F English silver and gold coins. Four Tudor Sovereigns all sold well above high estima and a very rare Commonwealth Unite dated 1660 with mint mark anchor grossed £32.300.J8 Liammered the same coin sold for £4840 in 1988, The strength of the milled series in top grade was clear with some big prices for large gold in extremely fine or better; a choice George II Milled Five Guineas dated 1738 making £21,950. The large Gregory collection of copper and bronze coins dispersed via auction bi Baldwin over the past 18 months has been a considerable test for the market in this series. Generally speaking prices were strong as collectors and dealers seized on the opportunity to acquire key date rarities in superb condition. Choice bun head pennies sold very well, i) 1860 beaded border / toothed border mule making £3400 hammer while high prices were paid for tuly uncirculated 18th Century copper pieces retaining their full original Concurrent with the marked rise in the price of gold bullion over the past two years is the increased number of new collectors and specialist dealers of modern gold Sovereigns. \s with any sharp increase in collecting activity, exciting new discoveries are made and the series becomes more complex. Pre 1860's Sovereigns have now become quite scare as a large amount of material has been absorbed by collectors. The values for this denomination have risen sharply to reflect this buoyant market. As always in a strong market it is important to inject an element of caution as grading standards can become more elastic but given this proviso we are confident the existing irends show no signs of abating. SOME NUMISMATIC TERMS EXPLAINED ‘That side of the coin which normally shows the monarch’s head or name. ‘The side opposite to the obverse, the *Tails’, The coin as a blank piece of metal, i.e. before it is struck. The whole piece of metal after striking. The main, central design. The inscription. Coins lacking a legend are called ‘mute’ or anepigraphic. That flat part of the coin between the main design and the inscription or edge. That part of the coin below the main design, usually separated by a horizontal line, and normally occupied by the date. The block of metal, with design cut into it, which actually impresses the coin blank with the design. Coin showing slight variation of design, A coin with the current type on one side and the previous (and usually obsolete) type on the other side, or a piece struck from two dies that are not normally used together. The crenellations around the edge of the coin, commonly known as. ‘milling’. Carefully struck coin from special dies with a mirror-like or matt surface. (In this country ‘Proof’ is not a term used to describe the state of preservation, but the method of striking.) Refers to the old craft method of striking a coin between dies hammered by hand. Coins struck by dies worked in a coining press. The presses were hand powered from 1560-1800, powered by steam from 1790 and by electricity from 1895.INTRODUCTION Vili Arrangement The arrangement of this catalogue is not completely uniform, but generally it is divid into metals (gold, silver, copper, etc) under each reign, then into coinages, denominatior and varieties. In the Celtic section the uninscribed coins are listed before the dynasti coins; under Charles II all the hammered coins precede the milled coinage: the reign George III is divided into coins issued up to 1816 and the new coinage from 1816 to the end of the reign; and under Elizabeth II the decimal issues are separated from the pre: decimal (£.5.d.) coinag Every major coin type is listed though not every variety. We have endeavoured to giv rather more coverage to the varieties of relatively common coins, such as the pennie: of Edward I, IT and II, than to the very much rarer coins of, for instance, King Offa of Mercia. Values The values given represent the range of retail prices at which coins are being offered for sale at the time of going to press and not the price which a dealer will pay for those coins; These prices are based on our knowledge of the numismatic market, the current demanc for particular coins, recent auction sale prices and, in those cases where certain coins have not appeared for sale for some years, our estimation of what they would be likely to sell af today, bearing in mind their rarity and appeal in relation to somewhat similar coins wher a current value is known, Values are given for two grades of preservation from the Celtis period onwards and three to four grades of preservation for coins of the 17th to the 201 century. Collectors normally require coins in the best condition they can afford and, except it the case of a really rare coin, a piece that is considerably wor is not wanted and has littl value, The values given in the catalogue are for the exact state of preservation stated at th head of each column and bearing in mind that a score of identical coins in varying states of wear could be lined up in descending order from mint condition (FDC, fleur de coin), through very fine (VF) to poor state. It will be realized that only in certain instances wi the values given apply to particular coins. A ‘fine’ (F) coin may be worth anything betwee ‘one quarter and a half of the price quoted for a ‘very fine’ (VF); on the other hand, piece in really mint condition will be valued substantially higher than the price quoted for ‘extremely fine’ (EF). The designation BV has been adopted for coins whose value on thi market has yet to exceed its bullion value. Purchasing sovereigns, catalogued as BV, wil attract a dealers’ premium. ‘We emphasize again that the purpose of this catalogue is to give a general value for particular class of coin in a specified state of preservation, and also to give the collector idea of the range and value of coins in the English series, The value of any particular pieck depends on three things: Its exact design, legend, mintmark or date. Its exact state of preservation; this is of prime importance. The demand for it in the market at any given time. Some minor varieties are much scarcer than others and, as the number of coins i: varies considerably from year to year, coins of certain dates and mintmarks are rarer an¢ of more value than other pieces of similar type. The prices given for any type are for th commonest variety, mintmark or date of that type. A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO COIN COLLECTING The Scope Coin collecting, numismatics, is a fascinating hobby. It requires very little physical exertion and only as much mental effort as one wishes or is able to put into it at any time. There is vast scope and boundless ramifications and byways encompassing not only pings historical and geographical, but also touching on economics, metallurgy, heraldry, jjierature, the fine arts, politics, military history and many other disciplines. This catalogue ;« solely concerned with British coinage from its earliest times right up to date, From the siart the beginner should appreciate that the coinage of our own nation may be seen as a 1699 Five Guineas, f 3457 } 'Fine work’ Two Guineas FO OVE EF F VF eRe “ é £ £ 2 $57 Two Guineas.
