Out for a couple of hours this morning when up came this  :o :o

Well done Pipster - you always remember your first! ::)

Its a short cross cut half hammered penny. The difficult bit is if its Richard The Lionheart, John or Henry III as they are all very similar except for the odd pellet on the crown, etc. This is where the Doc comes in! ;)

Great find - if you are finding halfs you are not missing much

Well done Phil, Neil beat me to it. Yes it a beauty, I would hazard a guess at Henry III, But Peter should be able to give you a positive id.
 Change of mind, king John, class 5a1 ???

Well done fella, extremely well done!!!!!!!!!!!!  So soon after starting the hobby and changing machines as well. If you can get those you're doing very well indeed.

Id'ng hammered is not at all my Forte but the boys will sort out an id between them no doubt.

Fred

Lovely, mate! I think in future I'll be the one asking you for advice on how to use the 705!

 ;)  ;)  ;)

Hi Lieghton,
Its thanks to you I got the 705  ;) ;)

debs

excellent find there young pipster. well done indeed.
1 down, hundreds more to find!!

nice little cut coin, vey very nice,the first of many

Well done Phil - you'll never forget your first ;D

I'm working on the ID now, but a better picture would help, particularly of the legend on the reverse.

Just added another pic peterh hove this one helps

Thanks pip - can you do a clearer one of the other side as well?

Thanks for posting the extra image Phil. I am tending towards this being Henry II, Class 1b, and Carlisle mint, but I'm still looking for an exact match. The reverse seems to read CADVL to me, but I could be wrong.

PIPSTER !!!!!!! well done mate  :D
you never forget your first hammered. and as been said if you are finding cut halves you ain't missing much. Not many people find hammered so soon after starting hobby but you're well away now mate. as soon as peter gives a confirmed ID i'll place it in our database....along with your other finds. Hopefully we'll catch up at next rally and you can show me in person, I'm really thrilled for you mate.  ;)

I have shown this to the incomparable Rod Blunt at UKDFD, who has confirmed this is indeed Henry II, Class 1b1. The mint is Carlisle and the moneyer, although his name is on the other half of the coin, is Alain - he was the only moneyer in Carlisle at this time.

Thanks Peter ....... your top dog  ;)

This coin is now on the UKDFD database here:
