Title: Re: Any id on a really battered hammered Post by: The Doc on December 09, 2013, 07:47:27 PM You might not want to hear this, but I think this is a Norman coin, most likely Stephen.

Title: Re: Any id on a really battered hammered Post by: The Doc on December 09, 2013, 08:39:22 PM Have a look at this coin on UKDFD and then look at the area I have circled on your coin.
http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=36930&cat=29 (http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=36930&cat=29) I think this may be the top of the sceptre. Now I may be making picture out of clouds, but... Also, the wording on the other side is not that unlike some of the Stephen coins. Look at the reverse of this one: http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=36599&cat=29 (http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=36599&cat=29) If yours is something similar, then it seems to be more poorly struck than usual, even though these are often very badly struck. What does anyone else think? Title: Re: Any id on a really battered hammered Post by: DEADLOCK on December 09, 2013, 08:40:50 PM I shall bring it to rally Sunday doc if your can make it, shall I give it a bit of foil treatment
Title: Re: Any id on a really battered hammered Post by: probono on December 09, 2013, 08:41:59 PM Having seen what you've posted (Doc) - it's quite possible - it's on a mis-shapen flan so definitely not a well made issue - so either Stephen or perhaps a Tealby type

Like this one: http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=31452&cat=30 (http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=31452&cat=30) Title: Re: Any id on a really battered hammered Post by: Chef Geoff on December 09, 2013, 08:56:01 PM oh well Radnor Bandit's yo da man ;)

Title: Re: Any id on a really battered hammered Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on December 09, 2013, 10:53:14 PM Pete , Roland - yours is a powerful magic. If you were around when that coin was made you'd have been burnt at the stake :)
Title: Re: Any id on a really battered hammered Post by: Dryland on December 09, 2013, 11:03:32 PM Well found Ian, but did you really have to rub it in ;D ;D
Title: Re: Any id on a really battered hammered Post by: probono on December 10, 2013, 09:33:49 AM Pete , Roland - yours is a powerful magic. If you were around when that coin was made you'd have been burnt at the stake :) Well to be honest - Pete got most of the way there, I just tagged along on the end :) Now if someone manages to work out what mint it is - that would be magic! Title: Re: Any id on a really battered hammered Post by: probono on December 10, 2013, 09:40:40 AM Um, well I thought I'd have a go.
you can see the letter 'O' or D followed by a ':' (colon), which would be the start of 'ON' , and then i think the next letters are PINC, but I could be wrong - so my guess (currently) is RICARD ON PINC (Winchester).
