Editorial

This week’s identifications include three Edward VI shillings. Plus, the sister of a detectorist asks for a valuation on a couple of his finds that he has given her.

The preview of the DNW auction includes a recent detecting find, that is expected to make more than £20,000. In Auction Results, there is a round up from the CNG auction and the other results from Hansons “Ryedale Bronzes” auction.

The PAS review includes the story of a Henry VIII groat from the Tournai mint.
