Offa Hammered

I know nothing of the period but that doesn't 'look right' to me, has a very cast look about it! Guess they must know what they're talking about! It would be interesting to compare it to the other documented coins to check for any replication. At least I'd want to if I was considering it for myself.

This is only the third coin from this die. The obverse design was shared by London and Cambridge.

Nice coin. I really like the geometric designs on the Offa coinage! :)

A lot of these come up looking pitted.

I've just noticed it's awaiting validation? How long does the whole process of registering a find take, then? Anyone know?

It varies from county to county. 3 months - 18 months in some cases depending on the work loads of each museum.

It can take an age in London. Still waiting for the report on a Roman ring from the Thames. Last year 

They are swamped with finds and you're limited to ten finds a visit.
