Title: Small hammie for ID please Post by: SpineyDave on March 17, 2012, 04:58:54 PM Hi, I've just got back from a bit of detecting, and dodging the showers. This hammie is the only good thing I found today.
It's really small about 10mm across, but still nicely marked. I'm still rubbish at iding these things, any help would be great. Thanks Dave Title: Re: Small hammie for ID please Post by: The Doc on March 17, 2012, 05:21:24 PM Nice coin.
I believe this an Edward IV halfpenny, London mint. The mintmark looks like a heraldic cinquefoil. Spink 2137. Title: Re: Small hammie for ID please Post by: SpineyDave on March 17, 2012, 05:33:09 PM Thanks Doc,
It's nice to work back from the spinks number, and check out the mint mark and the other details. It all seems to make sense then, but I do struggle the other way round !

It's always nice to find a hammered, think I must be getting to grips with the Deus now. Deadlock, sorry to here you had no luck today, it's all a bit sparse and deep in most fields round Hereford I think I better start saving for the Deus large coil ! Regards, Dave |
