Title: Saxon Penny Post by: BottyBurp (Kris) on February 19, 2009, 06:11:21 PM Can you help with an ID on this penny please?
Found today in pasture, I'm not sure why it would have the two holes in it and the reverse has a gold "Tint" to it! Thanks in advance BB Title: Re: Saxon Penny Post by: KANE (DES) on February 19, 2009, 06:16:44 PM I botty the coins could have been made into a necklace or bangle at some time i believe it might be a edward the confessor radiate type coin 1042-1066 hope its of some help DES
Title: Re: Saxon Penny Post by: llanelli club on February 19, 2009, 06:30:04 PM the gold glint is tarnishing which is fairly common on silver strangely it yellows as well as the usual black oxidisation.lovely coin there.

Not found in Wales by any chance was it? Cracking find mate Neil Title: Re: Saxon Penny Post by: The Doc on February 19, 2009, 08:04:53 PM Very nice BB. Maybe has been gilded to make a brooch of some sort - if so it is Treasure Act.

Title: Re: Saxon Penny Post by: simon c on February 26, 2009, 10:28:01 PM That's definately more than just a coin Botty,maybe the holes were to mount it on to something,certainly looks like guilding,i think Peter's right,lovely find that, :) well found
Title: Re: Saxon Penny Post by: mickycoin "mick" on March 05, 2009, 03:24:33 PM hi botty-burp. greatcoin, would agree that it is edward the confessor radiate type spink number 1173, again the holes would suggest it was mounted on a bracelet, like the old silver 3pences, so i would go back and look for the rest if was you. but what a great coin anyway, thanks for the look mick
