Coin value and where to sell it?

phaethon

Hi all,

I would like to hear honest opinion regards the value of following coin:

Like I was advised it is Irish Edward IV (1461-1483) period hammered light cross & pellets coin from circa 1470-78 period Drogheda mint. Crown facing bust of Edward pellets at neck. On the reverse plain long cross. Coin diameter is 14.5 mm.

I saw two places where are same cross up on sale but I still not sure about the valuation:

Also where would be the easiest and quickest place to sell it?

Your best bet would be to sell it at the upcoming Coin Fair at the RDS 18th to 20th of this month. I don't think you'll get anywhere near the values listed on those sites, I think in reality you're looking closer to 70 Euro. Approach a few dealers and see who offers the most.

If you post clear pictures of both sides of the coin someone should be able to tell you what it is, you can then search for past auctions on ebay for the same coin in the same condition and you should be able to get an idea of value.
