1 - CUT HALF PENNY. Henry 111 from AD 1207/1272.

That's a whopping time span! That's a claim I'll never be able to make on this continent.

Congratulations.

That's a pretty scarse Commodus one you don't often see, the obverse depicts Commodus head right, wearing lion's skin, the reverse legend, HERC VLI RO MANO AVG in four lines seperated by a club....Refers to Commodus, who in his madness, styled himself as the Roman Hercules. He is shown as such on the obverse, with his head covered by a lion's skin.
What's even more unusuall about yours, is the reverse is depcited in three lines, not four....You don't think it may be a forgery.

Nice looking coins. Are your finds random drops or was there a road or area of habitation where you find your coins? Have you ever located and excavated trash pits similar to Bill D's post here http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...ly-colonial-pit-dig-finds-long-lots-pics.html ?

I think that there may well be places that would be the sort of thing you are talking about here. but the way the farmers turn round their crops so fast and the amount of hard digging involved would make that kind of digging impossible for a loner like me, l actually started bottle digging back in the 70s and now i'm in my 70s too and it would be too much.... But this particular site l'm sure the coins are indeed random losses over time(a lot of time)......Hutch.
