Can you I.D this for me please,it's my first hammered,and I'd love to know what it is.

it's a treaty period groat of Edward III, London mint.

Nice coin - and a corker for your first!

Very nice coin John. Excellent find!

Thanks for the I.D.and comments.

very nice well winkled :)

Well found great coin well done

Lovely find buddy

cracking coin in good condition moor to come

What a beauty !!! 
 

well done on your find well searched  ;)

Lovely find there John !! You have some thick concretion on the coin what is hiding a lot of the detail a light clean would make it come up lovely, but don't go rubbing it to much and ruin it, I wouldn't even use the foil trick, a nice soak for that one I think in warm water with a drop of washing liquid give it half an hour, and a soft rub with a cloth..........
It wont remove it all but it should help to make a better looking coin, if your still not happy try a little spit, more the better, as there is powerful enzymes in human spit.

I got this information out of a hammered coin book I have the cleaning processes get harsher and harsher all the way to electrolysis :)

Good luck if you do decide to give it a steady clean ;) Great find  

Thanks for the tip.
Here's the coin after cleaning.

Cracking condition

Id say its worth a few more £'s now also :D great cleaning job.

As Probono said its Treaty Period 1361-1369

Look just before Edward and you will see a annulet what could not be seen before cleaning that would make it Spink 1617

The legend reads EDWARD DEI G REX ANGL DNS HYB ZAQT ........Edward by the grace of god King of England Lord of Ireland and Aquitaine 

What a little cracker, well done mucker

Gorgeous coin well done what a first hammered

That's a beauty, well done.

That's an even nicer one now :) - given that the obverse has annulet stops and the reverse has saltire stops, if I could find my copy of North, you'd be able to tie down the variety more precisely.

Despite the coin being worth more now, I wouldn't be parting with it if I'd found it - sadly all my groats are in the museum :( - at least I still have the pictures

That's a good result john, well done ;) not with your SEF was it

nice hammered m8 just like the one found lol

wonderful coin well done  :D

That's a CRACKER,well found. :o

I had a platypus 12x8 coil fitted.since I bought it it's been on the detector all the time.

Thanks for the chance for me finding my first Hammered steve.
Welshbreed found one first, and told me to search close to where he found his and out popped this one
he could have kept it to himself.

I had a funny feeling that there could have been more by the one I found that's why I leftu find your very first hammered and especially how chuffed you was in finding it ...

very nice coin well done ;D

Very nice coin! and a corker for a first hammered.

wow great condition coin and what a cracking clean up job  :)
