Title: Almost junked Hammy, any ID please ? Post by: Da Monkey on February 13, 2012, 11:24:20 AM Hi guys,
Just going through my junk in my findsbag from a recent trip around a local field where I had dug quite a bit of foil, modern tin and other junk when I spotted this one, my eyes couldnt believe it, how did I not spot it in the field ! Images here are scans, so look a quite fair bit darker than when viewed in normal light, its just about the shiniest hammy I've ever found when seen in reality, I must have had this down as a bit of tin tat when I threw it in the finds pouch... Just goes to show It's always worth checking, lesson learnt :) Its not in very good nick I'm afraid :( 23mm diameter, any ideas ? Title: Re: Almost junked Hammy, any ID please ?

Nice one, 23mm is the same size as the 1/2 groat I got yesterday Dave Title: Re: Almost junked Hammy, any ID please ? Post by: Da Monkey on February 13, 2012, 11:51:44 AM ;D
Dont rate these new glasses much LOL ! I'm gonna take a stab at Queen Mary 1553-1554 As in Spinks 2492, but I bow to those on here with better knowledge... Any ideas ? Pity its not in bettrer nick :( I was only saying to u yesterday I hadnt had a groat or 1/2 groat yet :) Title: Re: Almost junked Hammy, any ID please ? Post by: jtalbot0001 on February 13, 2012, 11:52:57 AM Nice find! I may be wrong but my feeling is that it's a Queen Mary Denomination! Or if not definitely Elizabeth! ...............Well you just said what I thought will I wrote this message, so perhaps its definitely Mary then!
