What a great month! Love the Aurelius! Looks like a nice piece of Castor ware below the Oxford red pot sherd?

Hey Cru, were those silvers really that poorly struck or does damage over the years make them that off center? You see some unbelievable gold and silver pieces that were made from that time period and then you see coins that look like they almost had to try to make them look that off centered.

This makes me laugh a little. The off-centre strike is not unusual & to me makes it MORE real.

I thought it was decorated Nene Valley Table Ware?
