craigy

have been out quite a bit thru the hot times and managed a few hammered, nothing special, this one is rather interesting, i think it's a Richard II London half penny, looks almost like its plated, or is it seriously debased, doesn't look like a fake or a Johhny foreigner, the legends look correct, any thoughts welcome , its not been cleaned with anything, just distilled water

well straightened, i leave mine as i found them now after a couple of mistakes lol

what 3d you on about ?

defo Henry III, that face is so distinctive,

out detecting last night and this beautiful late neolithic/early bronze age chisel was sat looking up at me from the surface,

cheers, not sure if you can call that a coin though, more like a fragment hahaha annulet issue has annulets in 2 quarters ?opposites

MR Ingram loves a bit of LCA lol

if i'm sitting on my bog i can say a hooded lady on the wooden floor,

Called spinks during the week asking about the TPG at the London office, they didn't know when it was happening and referred me to NGC

i agree

yes i noticed this too

seems like some strange stuff going on at the mint, no official release but the bay is awash with them https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=paddington+bear+silver+proof+50p&_sacat=0

http://www.jncoins.co.uk/Shop/half-crowns/415-elizabeth-ii-proof-half-crown-1953.html beautiful coin

deposits from the field, area is infested with iron,

a bit rusty and holed but still nice to find, especially as land is at a premium now we are heading into summer

taken form the Royal mint museum facebook page, and what a beauty this coin is, almost certainly unique The coin illustrated here is a piedfort sixpence of 1963. It is the same diameter and carries the same designs as a standard sixpence but at 6.460g it is more than double the normal weight and it is made in sterling silver. For many years it has been in the Mint collection but so far it has not been possible to determine precisely why it was struck. There is no evidence of relevant experiments taking place at that time and in terms of size it cannot be related to any other coin the Mint was making in 1963. For the time being, therefore, the coin remains a mystery but the search will continue for an answer.

do you have any pictures, i would start by sending it off to the royal mint museum to have it authenticated first off , they now charge £20 for this service https://www.royalmint.com/collector-services/valuations/

lets have a ganda ;0)
