I have taken the plunge into English hammered coins. I hope I did OK with my first buy. Here it is!

I've not examined maqny English hammered coins, but I've seen many catalog entries. Yours appears to be an excellent piece based on my limited familiarity. Its a coin I'd be drawn to and proud to own.

Your chequebook would appear to be quite adventurous sir.

It's not a case of `they don't come much better' but more `they just don't come ANY better'. That is a superb example that would grace any collection or museum.

My little sphinctre muscle would be seriously twitching at the thought of writing a cheque to buy that one! wink.gif

Top class coin! As an English Hammered collecttor of Plantagenet series, I dream of coins in that condition. Certainly never used to buy anything! clapping.gif
