    Great video. I have been finding coins metal detecting in the UK for 11 years. I have about 45 hammered. I have now decided I want to identify them all without help from friends in groups. I have been reading spinks and am fascinated with all there is to learn from these coins. I have many hours of fun ahead. Finding them is now only half the fun.😊

    I have two Elizabeth I coins, date 1578 is fairly clear on the reverse of both. I like the two samples to compare lettering on the obverse. The queen are made out including the nose, eye and ruffled collar. Each had been clipped on different locations. I love these hammered coins as my ancestry is from Great Britain (our family had a land grant in South Carolina from George III prior to the Revolutionary War).

    I found a perfect short cross silver coin last week but I know nothing about kings so you have narrowed it down to 4 and I think it’s Richard I. Over the moon, thank you 👍

    In the last year I've found a Henry II Tealby penny, King John cut quarter, King John cut half, Edward penny (not sure which one, waiting for the FLO to sort that out!), an Edward I farthing Waterford mint (in lovely condition and quite rare I believe, you'd probably sell it for about £225.00), an Elizabeth I penny and an Elizabeth I twopence, three Charles I rose farthings and finally an unidentified penny in fairly poor condition as yet unidentified but possibly Richard II. I also have a Nuremberg Jetton. Most of them have come out in fine condition - I'm very lucky to have a great permission. Hopefully more to follow. Thanks for the video.

      @@BritanniaCoinCompany Thank you. The Lizzie 'two pence' was actually a half groat as it turned out. I have found two more since this post - a cut half which is probably Henry III, and a very large hammered in poor condition which is with the Kent FLO (I'm hoping she will be able to ID it). That one is probably a late one, possibly a James I.

  • @tedlawrence4189
    @tedlawrence4189 Рік тому +1

    I do not understand why English coins were hammered and the earlier Roman coins struck? Did people forget how to mint coins? The Greeks struck beautiful coins prior to the Common Era.

    • @BritanniaCoinCompany

      It is interesting to see how coins have been struck differently over time and across the world -CC
