Title: Nice large Hammy and Charles 11 Farthing
Post by: GJH on August 01, 2014, 11:42:13 AM
I was invited out yesterday by Anthony Jay on one of his permissions, we have been over this fied a few times so it goes to prove that you can always miss things,I had a few coins including a nice George 5th silver sixpence Edward penny, a pendant wich opens out ( but have not opened it yet, ( maybe somthing in there ), Tony had a few coins and a nice fine gold ring, I said to him it's about time I had a hammy from this field, shortly after these came out.

Well done Geoff, but i think the hammered coin is that of James.

i can read IACOBUS and can see the thistle mintmark

cheers

Excellent result Geoff but I'm still in shock! The only person I know to have found two Sovs at a rally and you've never found a cartwheel penny :o If you ever fancy swapping some Sovereigns for cartwheel pennies give me a shout I've got a bucket full of them :D :D
