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! Grin

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
