Editorial

This is the first anniversary of the setting up of the website. in that time, I’ve had hundreds of coins and artefacts sent in for identification and valuation. Many thanks to all of you who have contributed. I’ve taken a look back over the past 12 months in my Review of the Year.

This week there are 15 readers’ finds including a very unusual Edward I “6 o’clock” farthing. In PAS finds there are three Treasure finds: all finger rings of different styles from different periods, plus a Three groschen of Sigismund III.

Review of the year

Find of the Week

Farthing of Edward I

An unusual “6 o’clock” farthing of Edward I

Runner Up

Ancient British Silver Unit

It might look somewhat like a denarius and the inspiration for the design probably originated from a Roman coin but this is actually an Ancient British silver unit

PAS Finds

17th Century posy ring, pipe tamper, Anglo-Saxon ring and a Three groschen of Sigismund III
