Michael-Roo Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 Thank you!Anything rare or interesting included? Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Anything rare or interesting included?Not rare but all hammered is interesting!You've got fairly good examples and the Newcastle one certainly isn't an exceptionally ubiquitous example. Number 1 on this thread has an interesting 'cross' replacing the inner circle of dots between the side fleur of the crown on the left and the centre. It's just an example of a slight error/variety done when sinking the die.All in all, nice purchases! Was this a job lot and is it a sign of further hammereds to come? Quote

And, indeed, bring on that hammered! About time there was a push in this direction!We've been modern milled for far too long! Now where did I see that nice 1982 10p? Quote
Michael-Roo Posted August 7, 2014 Author Posted August 7, 2014 Thanks again for the information Clive.No. Not a job lot. I buy hammered now and then. Not my main area of interest, but I do feel they serve as nice contrast to all the copper and tin. I ave a tiny hammered farthing which needs identifying. I'll post after writing this. Quote
