crusader took me to a place today in search of my first hammered coin and i got one
also got a very nice roman silver which crusader will post a better pic of later, along with another seven roman coins!

the hammered is elizabeth 1st
i had a chewed up/off token from the 17th century
and a 1717 farthing(cant remember the type)

the silver roman is from 119ad i think

Thats a much better picture. I can see the date on the 17th century token, 166?. Still can't quite narrow it down enough. Can you do a picture of the other side?

You are so lucky to live where there coins of these ages. Only place we could compete with those dates are Florida, and New England States.

I agree, it might take time to sink in. I know he's pleased with it, but I think in 2 years time he will be more pleased

 

[shaun7]

nick the thimble is yours if you want it

Found out the full details of the 17th century token (brass Farthing):

Joseph Braban Hosyer of Kings Lynn - 1666. The other side has a picture of a stocking.
