Title: Re: 3 coins from yesterday Post by: david995 on January 21, 2015, 06:48:03 PM Though i did have a wlliam the lion scottish one a few few weeks back , anyone one know if the scottish coins were common in wales or south of the border ?
Title: Re: 3 coins from yesterday Post by: Chef Geoff on January 21, 2015, 06:54:16 PM Not common as such but not really a rare find, the closer you get to ports or cities then the more you seem to find so trade is the likeliest reason ;)

Title: Re: 3 coins from yesterday Post by: probono on January 21, 2015, 07:22:58 PM The Irish one is type 1b - pellet before EDW and three pellets below bust - Scottish you can see the end of 'Alexander' - [ALEX]ANDER DEI GR - reverse REX SCOTORVM
those two almost look like hoard coins - were they found in damp land too? Title: Re: 3 coins from yesterday Post by: Chef Geoff on January 21, 2015, 07:34:15 PM OK I stand corrected but I can tell you it's Perth mint ;)
Title: Re: 3 coins from yesterday Post by: david995 on January 21, 2015, 08:03:27 PM Thanks yes they were found in damp and frosty conditions, shining the light on them when taking a picture makes them stand out a bit ,
i had the discussion with dale a while ago generaly in n wales the hammered are in decent condition compared to what else i see from other finds posted on here the ground conditions must be ok here Title: Re: 3 coins from yesterday Post by: nonker10 on January 21, 2015, 10:33:33 PM good selection,never found an irish penny i would love one,well done that man.
