Title: Re: half a hammie Post by: rjm on October 07, 2011, 07:54:22 PM I think Chef is spot on. A rarish coin and even in that condition worth a few hundred. :) Title: Re: half a hammie Post by: The Doc on October 07, 2011, 08:18:19 PM I agree on the ID - Henry I Double inscription type (BMC XI)
Shame it's in that condition - It looks to me like it may be broken rather than cut. Still a great find Max. Some of us have never found a single Henry I coin ::) Title: Re: half a hammie Post by: StumbledUpon on October 07, 2011, 08:25:52 PM Thanks Geoff/Pete for the ID. I think the plough has had it as well, Shame! that's why our hobby is so important, to try and save and record what we can before it's lost forever. :) thanks all.
