Hi.Firstly,many thanks with your help with the identification of my last post-much appreciated. This one has been looked by one or two (detectorists) all have a different opinion. Nothing to go by as far as legend is concerned but the "7" under the hair? Richard III ?

Many thanks. Am I right that the only difference between the James I half groat and the Charles I Scottish 2 Shillings is one letter in the legend. If that's the case they must have been crossing the border with pockets full of half groats to get 2 bobs worth of goodies!

I have recently acquired what I thought was a James I half groat but on closer inspection the legend isn't right. Instead of I D G ROSA the legend reads C D G ROSA etc. I don't have any reference books and so have not been able to ID it. Where these coins overstamped for use by Charles I ?
