I will never forget the wonderful write up you put in the December 2000 edition of the Searcher about my intriguing Henry 1st type 10 penny, with the reverse ANDERAM ON EI
It later transpired that there was a N L ligation, so it read ANDERAM ON LEI. So my coin was the first known coin made by ANDERAM at Leicester. There are 3 now known, including mine.

Hi
I dont know if anyone monitors this website? I just want to say thanks for the info on this bag seal. I found a very nice example of one just yesterday, (Monday), in Cork, Ireland. I have it on a youtube video under the channel name Detectnician. I had no idea what it was until a viewer put me in the right direction.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Detectnician.

Very interesting. I found an identical coin, and was also struggling to identify it, so your explanation is really helpful. Can you put a value on this coin? Would it contain the same percentage of silver as an Edward coin? Would it value any less than an Edward?
