nice to find hammered this time of year, not had hammered off this particular field before so a Tealby cut half was a welcome start, ground is hard as,
-
an edward farthing, will get a picture of the finished article later

it must have been quite obvious to the people who know about these as it went unsold, wort £1 and the postage as a little curio type thing,

you'll be amazed how some coins come out the soil, you will know if you detect, roman silver can come out covered in a thick layer making them look like a cruddy bronze, this Julia Domna denny took me hours of cleaning, shame it has a chunk missing, shame i didnt get a before pic either doh

!953 frosted proof halfcrown
craigy replied to craigy's topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
can't know every thing about everything, English Hammered pennies is my thing, 1180 - 1272, Henry III's voided long cross pennies is my specialty though, -
top left is the famous Edward I groat, nearly all the ones found by detectorists have been turned into brooches
-
some 20th c proofs,

is it the same person lol, haha, never knew that yes i use him for my capsules with the foam inserts, his postage time is unrivaled, you can order 5 capsules at half 4 in the afternoon and they'll be there in the morning first thing, free postage too, worth ordering from him just to see that lol -
on a lighter note, despite the 1953 frosted half crown saga i thought i'd share a few of my recent proof acquisitions 1937 Proof Crown
