Title: Edward Penny, which one? Colonial Georgain? And a big lump of bronze! Post by: kevinmansfield on September 15, 2013, 04:11:46 PM Hi Folks,
Had a go in a nice field a few days a go. I've got three objects for you identifying geniuses. :) 1. An Edwardian hammered but can't work out which Edward. 2. A worn copper coin which is just like a George III penny but you can only see an outline of a head and it doesn't look like George III. The hair looks like a plaited bun. Unfortunately the other side is completely worn. But I was wondering whether it could be a Colonial coin? 3. Is a bit random, but the farmer was very intrigued. It's a big lump (I think it's bronze). About 5 inches long. Many thanks to anyone who has a go. Cheers, Kevin. Title: Re: Edward Penny, which one? Colonial Georgain? And a big lump of bronze!

Pot legs are generally pigeon holed as "Post-Medieval" but could be anywhere from Medieval to Georgian but always a nice find to make. The large coin is a Macclesfield Halfpenny, that's the second one this week on DW, heres a link for you; http://gilliscoins.com/coinage/tokens_and_later_coinage/pic_wtl7393.htm (http://gilliscoins.com/coinage/tokens_and_later_coinage/pic_wtl7393.htm) For my money it looks like an Edward III, London mint but that's using only knowledge, I'm sure the Doc or Probono will be along soon and they use "Dark Magic" to id so they may think differently ;D Title: Re: Edward Penny, which one?

I was searching all over the internet for Colonial coins and such and come to a complete dead end. Much appreciated. ;D Title: Re: Edward Penny, which one? Colonial Georgain?
