Title: Re: FINDS THIS EVENING Post by: Chef Geoff on July 06, 2015, 09:05:56 PM Great finds again Tezza well done ;) I think the hammy is a groat of Robert II of Scotland (1371-1390) Edinburgh mint (Spink 5134) ;)

Title: Re: FINDS THIS EVENING Post by: TEZZA on July 06, 2015, 09:43:31 PM Thanks Geoff for the id and everyone s comments what about the copper/bronze coin or is it to far gone
Title: Re: FINDS THIS EVENING Post by: Chef Geoff on July 06, 2015, 09:55:18 PM I can't help thinking it's simply a very badly corroded copper of George V, the bust is facing the right way and around the forehead area you can read GRA:BRITT :-\

Title: Re: FINDS THIS EVENING Post by: TEZZA on July 06, 2015, 10:56:15 PM That looks good to me Geoff i`ll settle for that thanks again
