Hi, My name is Dave. My username is dragonbloodaxe, and I have been a regular on ebay since June '04.

 I am generally to be found lurking around the Hammered Coinage or Antiquities sections !!

Although..... I have bought loads of stuff on ebay, from my daughters 'rocking tiger' to icing bags for my gran........from fluffy Neopets to jewellery for my wife Amanda  [purpletigerdragon.]

 I am an experienced collector and researcher of hammered coinage, especially Anglo-Saxon, and Medieval pennies, many of which I have purchased on ebay. I also buy the odd Saxon and medieval antiquity every now and again.

 I have found the vast majority of ebayers to be kind, friendly people, and in over 400 transactions I have had NO negative or neutral feedback........ and have never left anyone else any.

I have loved hammered coins for some years now and I like to share my experiences and give something back to others who have similar interests. To this end I run an ebay forum group called

 Early Medieval Hammered Coinage

  which is a public group that has over 100 members. Anyone can join. All are made most welcome.

I am approachable and quite friendly if anyone wants or needs to contact me for any reason. I always reply to emails.

I often identify coins for dealers and ebay sellers unsure of their items, its become quite a hobby to me !! And as a follow-on to this I now offer a FREE coin identification and advice service open to everyone. Just send me a clear pic, and ask.........its as simple as that.

I have written five coin-related ebay guides,

 BUYING ANGLO-SAXON AND NORMAN PENNIES ON EBAY.

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE SHORT CROSS CUT HALVES.

BUYING ANGLO-SAXON COINS ON A BUDGET.

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE SCEATS AND STYCAS OF NORTHUMBRIA.

SOME TIPS FOR SELLERS OF HAMMERED COINS.

Please have a look at them, and if you find them helpful in any way please vote for them. I am an ebay top 1000 reviewer.

My website is called Daves Rare Coins, and this is where I publish my coin researches and sell a few items. It is not academic, but written for the layman with some fun added and other bits and pieces. So hopefully it is user-friendly !! Feel free to let me know what you think of it........or any of my other projects.

 Thanks very much for visiting my ABOUT ME page, Kind Regards, Dave.
