Almost junked Hammy, any ID please ?

[Da Monkey]

Hi guys,

Just going through my junk in my findsbag from a recent trip around a local field where I had dug quite a bit of foil, modern tin and other junk when I spotted this one, my eyes couldnt believe it, how did I not spot it in the field !  Images here are scans, so look a quite fair bit darker than when viewed in normal light, its just about the shiniest hammy I've ever found when seen in reality, I must have had this down as a bit of tin tat when I threw it in the finds pouch...  Just goes to show It's always worth checking, lesson learnt 

Its not in very good nick I'm afraid   23mm diameter, any ideas ?

Blind as a bat  

Nice one,

23mm is the same size as the 1/2 groat I got yesterday

Dont rate these new glasses much LOL !

I'm gonna take a stab at Queen Mary 1553-1554 As in Spinks 2492, but I bow to those on here with better knowledge...  Any ideas ?

Pity its not in bettrer nick

I was only saying to u yesterday I hadnt had a groat or 1/2 groat yet

Nice find! I may be wrong but my feeling is that it's a Queen Mary Denomination! Or if not definitely Elizabeth! ...............Well you just said what I thought will I wrote this message, so perhaps its definitely Mary then!

Hi John,

Well found. I agree, it's a Mary groat, Spink 2492.
