Title: Re: Commonwealth Hammered for ID Post by: Dale on October 03, 2015, 06:57:25 PM Well found Iron Giant ;) Its a halfgroat as db4 said if you look above the two shields on the reverse you will see II meaning twopence/halfgroat.

Title: Re: Commonwealth Hammered for ID Post by: Iron Giant on October 03, 2015, 10:22:59 PM Thanks guys for the comments and for the info, i'm really pleased with it :D
It seems to have toned a lot since i dug it, I have put museum wax on it so i'm guessing it won't go black? I prefer a well toned coin to a newly minted look personally but equally I want to avoid an ebony disc :o Title: Re: Commonwealth Hammered for ID Post by: wittsy1 on October 04, 2015, 04:55:04 AM That's a nice find, well done to you.
