Very worn and folded hammie

[Techony]

Hi Peter,

We all know that you're a magician really, so please could you exercise you're magic powers on this folded, worn and raggedy hammy for me. Its had a vary hard life, it would be a shame to have to bury it in an unmarked grave 

It's 21mm across the widest point and weighs in at 1.03g

Cheers,

[Val Beechey]

I think Peter will have to be psychic to I.D. that one Techony.  Well found though, I wouldn't mind one just the same.

i agree Val, ... well done a hammy all the same

He is Val, he is. 

Didn't you know that his middle name is Merlin

A challenge that one lol...
All i can add is that Elizabethan 3d are around the 20mm mark so
something akin to that.... maybe ...well done though at least it dates the
ground your walking over....H.H. PaulB.

Wow that is worn. I would have still liked to find it though. Still no hammies for me  lol

[Chef Geoff]

My guess would be a groat, can I ask if you have calibrated your scales lately?
Have you cleaned it, as it doesn't have the "look" of silver though the weight is right. Though some of Henry VIII and Lizzy don't pass the silver test because of their debasement. I think I would have a go at unfolding the bit you can just to see if there may be anything left to id. Lets face it you've nothing to loose with this one.

[Techony]

You've got a point there Geoff. I'll have a bash tomorrow maybe and send in a photo of the pieces straightened flan 

The scales are correct (just checked them) the silver is as thin if not thinner than the lizzies. She alo passed the sulpher test with flying colours but other than that; only been cleaned with water.

Cheers

[The Doc]

Hmmmm.......tricky

[Dodger]

Hmmmm.......tricky

Don't often see you stuck Peter! Joking aside, that is one bashed hammie! Well found though, they all count 

[The Doc]

As Geoff said, see if you can unfold it a bit to look if there's any detail visible. If not, then it can only be guesswork.

Or do I need to get my spirit guide to see it at some point in the past before it go into this sad state? 

[Techony]

Well, spurred on by the guys, I decided to give the ole' hammered a hammering to see what was inside. Still no wiser, but at least I can now see a form of cross in the middle so I still think its a real one. The longest dimension is now 23.8mm and the weight has gone down to 1.01g after the exercise. Still a UFO to me

nice job there, techony.

for what its worth, the cross shape implies a plantaganet style ... but what do i know about silver coinage!!
