Couple of cracking coins Well found Neil Title: Re: Whats the best hammerred and Post by: cardiffian on March 19, 2013, 10:56:23 PM My best hammered was a very rare Henry V farthing.
Best milled was a John V, 6400 Reis gold coin. It is a Portuguese coin minted in Brazil. The date 1733 with Mintmark M (Minas Gerais) make it extremely rare with very few specimens known. |
