Easy Like Sunday Morning

[robfinds]

Four more hammered said hello today. Also a Roman silver, popped up. The coin top right is not English, in poor condition though. The nice round one top left is the smallest un clipped Henry III I think I have ever found. The mint looks a bit different also, will post a picture after cleaning.

Great 6 pack of silvers Rob! What a productive morning you had, looking forward in seeing them cleaned up and the IDs.


What's all the same looking bits in the second photo?

The second photo is mainly bits of lead, and a couple of worn coppers.

Remember my predictions for you for this season? I think you're well on your way. Amazing! I wish I knew more about these coins. Can you please explained Crusade coins a bit. I have an idea but would love to know more

Is it a reference to coins used by the crusaders headed to the holy land? Like knights Templar stuff? Ok I'm done. Probably making an ass out of myself lol

Crusader Coins
Read a little about them here, but basically what you said.

Wow thanks Cru. Now that would be something special. How scarce are these?

They are not hugely valueable, but they are a scarce UK find & very historic. (Dad & I have none, my avatar was given to me by family) Normally you have to be on a main route that took the Knights & Pilgrims back to where they lived.

You guys always have awesome old finds over there! Congrats

A rare coin !!!

Got an id from the BM, on one of the coins I posted the other day. I did think at the time, it looked a little strange. The BM say, it's a sterling imitation (continental) of an Henry III, long cross penny 1247-72. The reverse reads, INE/OLE/OIE/ANT. Based on a coin of the moneyer Nicole, Canterbury mint. Apparently an un-recorded type. Very pleasing to find.

congrats, has to be very cool to find something that has you wondering

1247 ? OMGosh! unimagineable
