Title: Whats your oldest hammered coin you have found to date? Post by: Neil on October 02, 2010, 09:47:04 AM We don't often tend to see many coins before Henry III on here.
Just wondering what early hammered coins we have found amongst us. Mine is a Henry Ist 1100-1135 Its a bit battered and came out barely holding together and soon fell apart. Still pleased with it though! ;D Neil Title: Re: Whats your oldest hammered coin you have found to date? Post by: Chef Geoff on October 02, 2010, 10:32:35 AM A penny of Burgred 852-874 AD, found near Gloucester in 84. I will see if I can find the negatives of it and scan them up.
This is the best I can do without rigging up a darkroom Title: Re: Whats your oldest hammered coin you have found to date? Post by: Roman (Ray) on October 02, 2010, 11:03:13 AM richard 1st known as (richard the lionheart) i cant remember the date chef told me i think its 1100s
