HistoricCoinage Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Not a hammered fan myself, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at this one if I found it in a muddy field.11th century coinIt's a lovely coin but I don't understand how it made the BBC website. So many coins like these are found each year. Even so, if it's going spare... Quote

HistoricCoinage Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Because it says its unique and no other coin from the same mint has been foundYes but, as I said, many coins like this are found each year that are 'unique' with regards to new types, new moneyers, new combinations, etc. I don't see them on the website.

North (1994) has William I coins struck at Gloucester in types 1-3,5,7 & 8. This is a sword (type 6) penny. The other gap was a two sceptres, which if I remember rightly there was a cracked example by the same moneyer on eBay last summer. Not sure how many others there are though - Clive?. Quote
