Title: Folded hammy id please. Post by: roaljodaka on March 01, 2015, 03:05:29 PM Hi all, i got out today for couple of hrs, i found this folded hammy thought it was a cut half at first as it was totally flat down centre i also found the spindle worl and the usual buttons.
I did bite the bullet and got my blow lamp out, thought i did a half decent job as it was really flat in half. Any ideas on id of this coin and age please. Title: Re: Folded hammy id please. Post by: roaljodaka on March 01, 2015, 03:08:55 PM Sorry, it's the same size as modern penny.
