Nice finds benny. The battered one is a Sterling of John I (1261-94) or John II (1294-1312), Dukes of Brabant. The cut quarter is Henry III, York mint. I think the little one is a farthing of Edward I or II, but not sure on that one.

Thanks benny. They're European. It's a bit like this one, but not identical:

Lovely trio of little ones - were they from England or Welsh?


Title: Re: Hammered hat trick!
Post by: benny on July 21, 2009, 07:43:57 PM
They were from across the border in Herefordshire. Think it must have been an old fair site as there is literally bag fulls of broken clay pipes on there but not a great deal of other pottery. Also the field is contaminated with lots of small bits of iron so they take some winkling out.
