Well, I got my oldest coin to date, and I have Mr. Senior to thank for it! He contacted me and let me know I had won the prize he offered for finding the first silver of 2010.

It came in the mail the other day - a hammered Edward I long cross penny that he dug on a group hunt in Wessex, England. Edward I ruled from 1272-1307. I going to frame it like I did the 1624 Sigismundus, but I wanted to post it here so everyone knows what Mr. Senior did and to say how much I am thrilled with this coin!



Thank you Waldemar!!!

Mr. Senior is quite generous!
I am still enjoying my 1624 Sigismund III Polkers he sent back a month or so ago. Too bad we can't find anything old enough here in Illinois to give to him as a prize ... Perhaps your first seated find Neil.

WOW - That is an AWESOME prize!!!!

Beats my oldest coins, mine are Dinaries from Hungary (or so I was told by my grandpa).

Welcome Back Neil! My comp took a dump, so D-Dub was nice enough to sell me one of his, so I'm finally up and running again. Congrats on your great prize for the first silver of the year!
