    Yes it says in the Second edition of Freeman. "Since the last edition was published the Royal Mint has obtained an electron microscope which enabled the conclusion to be reached that all Bronze with a grained edge had received them after leaving the mint "

    Still amazes me how many hammered coins this particular field has thrown up, and with other bits and bobs it nods to a long gone market site within or bordering a deer park , was obviously a medieval market for quite a while as the coins range from Henry II to Charles I, i think this is Edward I. ?? Durham mint which is my first Durham coin from this field, and its a big old flan on it, please excuse the awful pictures, any id is welcome, thanks for looking,

    Yes I remember in one of his books he decided they were done post-mint - must be the latest edition because I remember them being in the tallies in his first book.

    Interesting that Peck doesn't include an obverse type for this coin - a typo ?

    Nothing special, just a regular group D obverse. Ex Lockett 4451, Brooker 90A and Selig 28

    I'm referring directly to Page 426 of Peck, and specifically to BM1699 - an 1874H (Freeman 73). What is the general opinion on the "grained edge" referred to (as extremely rare) by Peck? Are these a myth? Or if they do exist, were they elaborately tooled, post minting? At the back of my mind I seem to remember that Freeman mentioned them in his 1970 edition, but dropped them for the 1985 one.
