Hi Mike,
Thanks for the reply, as I said I didn't have a good look at the ring so I accept your verdict, the wear might be due to rubbing against another ring, you often see this with old 22ct wedding rings where a harder gold such as 18 or 9ct rub against it  over a number of years.

many thanks Digga and everybody for a great day out. well to my inexperienced eye the hammy was a henry V11. London mint. just put it into some Cillit bang for a couple of hours, (just to get the shine back). i must admit it's a real nice coin.
thanks again everyone. Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Just seen the picture of your groat - a superb coin, well done. It is indeed Henry VII, mintmark cross and crosslets, struck 1504-5. Looks like Spink 2199.

I believe there was a crossover period when the old facing bust types were still struck even though the profile coins were already in circulation.
