Editorial
In the 18th Century, a Prime Minister introduced some new taxes to try to reduce Britain’s debt. It was very unpopular and he was sacked shortly after. George Grenville’s ring was found last year and is up for auction.
In PAS finds we have a Nationally Important new variant of a Henry I penny. Another coin that might by unique has been sent in by one of our readers, Phil Clark – a very curious penny of Edward I-II. Plus six more readers’ finds.
