Hunting on the net looks like a Edward the III half groat ? how did that end up in my hoover ?????

Did a time traveller borrow your hoover? You can upload a pic with the Attach This File button. It should be jpg and not too large.

Got a scanner? That can work well.

Could you bring your hoover round to my place?

If anyone has an Edward III halfgroat they could upload the picture and let her compare it, am intruged as to how it ended up in the hoover, were you hoovering a field?

If its 13mm it won't be a groat....more likely an Edward 1 farthing

Weren't those pennies chopped into 4 along the cross? Or am I remembering wrong?

[Peter 615]

Silver pennies were halved and quartered but during the reign of Edward 1 tiny round farthings were produced for the 1st time.

Wow, I don't think I ever saw one of those! They must be pretty damn small?
