Title: Todays Hammered Find
Post by: rjm on November 06, 2011, 08:25:36 PM

Another James 1 6d I believe. This time it looks like it may be Irish?  Any other info appreciated. Date? Mint?

Well found Bob - it's a Charles I sixpence - a bit clipped unfortunately so can't give you any more info than this.

Was the day productive generally? I saw Tom's nice coin on the Scan Club site.

As far as I know there were three Hammered. Toms Edward 1st?, My James 1st and another hammered. No Roman.

Avalon had a lovely Papal Bullae.  :o :o

Quite a few buckles. I also had a Cartwheel but it's worn.

Nice weather. Beautiful scenery.

Is the sixpence an Irish one from the Heart on shield?

Bob - it's Charles I, not James. It's a Tower mint English issue.

Any idea what date the Charles sixpence. Can't find similar shield in my book. Will go and get a few more
coin books shortly to see if I can find out.

It's somewhere between Spink 2814 and 2821 (in post-2006 editions after the numbering was changed). Date 1636-1646.

Look at 2855 Bob

Look at 2855 Bob

2855 is milled, mine is hammered.

Also shield on mine is flatter at bottom.

I think it's 'Under Paliament 1642-9)

Can't find exact one. Interesting is that they have West Country issue!! but think mine may be, as
Peter said, London Mint.
