Title: Re: brooch and hammies Post by: Val Beechey on September 20, 2014, 07:21:46 PM Super coin, well found David. The brooch is only 'costume' jewellery, probably early 1900's. the stones are probably glass repro. rubies and if real would have been cut differently and never set it base metal.
Real one next time ;) Val Title: Re: brooch and hammies Post by: The Doc on September 20, 2014, 07:27:17 PM Great finds. The first groat is Henry VI annulet issue, Calais mint and the second is Edward III London mint.
The first hammered is a York mint penny. As already said, the brooch is Victorian at best. Title: Re: brooch and hammies Post by: david995 on September 20, 2014, 07:35:34 PM Thanks val and peter for the ids on the hammies , i thought so on the brooch and the glass/rubies were cut to good to be old

Unbelievably my Gran was born 1895, while Victoria was still the Queen. Even I find that hard to believe. :'( Val |
