Quarter noble 1377-1399 where to start negotiations?

[Magpieman]

Hi guys, i know that condition is everything with numismatics but I usually buy bullion hence the question.  Does anyone have a price range for one of these? A pals dad has passed and is looking to sell one of these,  I don’t want to pull his pants down on price but really fancy owning a piece of history.

Ask to take some photos OP so you can ruminate on the purchase. Post them here and there will be members versed in this era of coinage willing to offer their thoughts I'll bet.

I haven't seen anything south of £650 for some years. Many seem to be in the £750 range. To think they used to be £250 each!

Edward III ones are the most common and generally the cheapest.

Back in 1995 we bought a property, it had been built in the 70’s on a piece of virgin land, there was a covenant in the deeds which  stated that we had to pay 30 bushels of grain and 8 nobles annually to a Benedictine Abbey in Marlow some 35 miles away.

There had been a small hermitage on the land which was dissolved under Henry VIII.

The covenant dated back to the 14th century. The abbey was dissolved centuries ago, but the covenant remained.

 I know this has nothing to do with your coin, but it was a living currency and we have always wondered what they are like to see in reality.

The abbey is probably online now and expecting BTC payment. Best to get it sorted - you don’t mess around with monks.

We actually had to take indemnity insurance 😂 

Hope you are lucky with the coin 🤞
