2 Hammered silver coins same day

mattdiver · Feb 16, 2014

2 hammered coins same day. Don't normally find hammered quite rare from where I live Northwest England the large coin is Elizabeth 1 shilling I think hit by the plough and Henry 6 half groat 1420's I think from Calais. I will report to finds Liason struggled to upload pictures last thread. Just to add I have worked this field for over 20 years .It amazes me what we can miss one day and find the next. Thanks for looking.

Firstly they are both in great nick & both pretty scarce to find. Took me years to get a Shilling & the halfgroats of that period are not that common either.

Go back & grid that field to death.
