I wondered about the small number of registered posts! A recent change? Nope, I just prefer CoinsGB and CoinPeople forum so I don't tend to come on here often.

Are they the same size? Could one not be a sixpence and the other a shilling? Clive.

Not much is known about specific moneyers, only those listed in the Domesday and yours are much earlier than that! There doesn't appear to be any rare moneyers on your coins for the issues, so you just noticed these whilst walking? Have you gone back with a metal detector since? I know it's cruel to ask but are you interested in selling? I'm after some better examples for my collection and these could be the tickets, I pay very good prices too! BTW guys, I'm YOC (Ye Olde Collector) I just have a different username for eBay and this forum. Feel free to email me, I can easily get them recorded appropriately for you or I can tell you how to as I'm a good friend with the gentleman that does it. Kindest Regards, Clive.

Those are nice coins, email me at clive@historiccoinage.com and I'll see what I can do. Do you have any better photos? These are bang in the middle of my collecting period, are you interested in selling? Kindest Regards, Clive.

Happy New Year everyone! - Clive.

A warm welcome to you Joe! I have yet to experience the rekindling of my collecting flame, I have never stopped! But as time goes on I will have to stop. I look forward to getting to know you and your collection. - Clive.

I don't know about that Richard, I'm just offering my own opinion.

I don't think that it could be Taunton as only Elfric minted there. Taunton on Henry I coins is "TANTU" That "P" looks like a blundered "T" and so it might read "CANTA" "Pilde" at Canterbury is very confusing as there was no "Pilde" for Henry I mints... So perhaps Winedi, Willem, Wulfwine or Wulsi. I have a feeling that it might be Wulsi but it is an odd coin.

From the emails I think that this coin is of Canterbury mint, "PILDE ON CANT", Spink 1265/B.M.C. 4.

haven't been on here in yoinks! Been spending my time on CoinPeople and CoinsGB. Tazdog, if you want you can send some large scans to historiccoinage@coinpeople.com and I will do my best. I recently discovered a new moneyer for Henry I on one of my pennies so I should be able to help, if not I know people who can. I look forward to receiving your emails. Many thanks for the update Richard!!
