Chris Perkins Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Did a time traveller borrow your hoover? You can upload a pic with the Attach This File button. It should be jpg and not too large. Quote

Peckris Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Could you bring your hoover round to my place? Quote
azda Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 If anyone has an Edward III halfgroat they could upload the picture and let her compare it, am intruged as to how it ended up in the hoover, were you hoovering a field? Quote
Peter Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 If its 13mm it won't be a groat....more likely an Edward 1 farthing Quote
Peckris Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 If its 13mm it won't be a groat....more likely an Edward 1 farthingWeren't those pennies chopped into 4 along the cross? Or am I remembering wrong? Quote
Peter Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Silver pennies were halved and quartered but during the reign of Edward 1 tiny round farthings were produced for the 1st time. Quote
