Title: Re: Gold hammered Post by: probono on August 15, 2015, 05:59:37 PM I'm pretty sure (given the lys in the centre) it is a treaty period London mint, North 1243 - dated 1363-9 - does look a little clipped, so probably dropped after the weight reduction of 1412.

Title: Re: Gold hammered Post by: probono on August 18, 2015, 10:38:49 PM You've done a nice job on that.
Still I'm sure the BM would only grade it as Fine......! Title: Re: Gold hammered Post by: bristolminelab on August 19, 2015, 04:22:49 AM If the coin was only graded Fair i still would be happy with it :)
The repair cost me £40 not cheap i know, but better to get done by goldsmiths http://www.nicholaswylde.com/ (http://www.nicholaswylde.com/) Title: Re: Gold hammered Post by: hotmill on August 19, 2015, 08:09:25 AM Looks great after the repair!

The've done a nice job with it - I had wondered if you had done it yourself - I've straightened a few myself, but none bent over ont he edge like yours - well worth it - I hope I find another one day so I can keep it in my collection. |
