Any British hammered coins that you want to part with?
I am interested in any British hammered coinage, preferably anything pre-1400.
Good prices paid!
Regards,
Clive.

What Clive is really saying is that he is interested in any
English hammered, no
not Scottish. That is my area, and remember the auld saying "Nemo Me Impune Lascesset"

If he abides by this, I might even throw him an Anglish hammered his way.

I have a hammered penny, the 2x2 says 1272, but I am not sure of the date.

The actual coin, normally they are clipped or bent. Yours is nice, flat and complete.

When it comes to hammered both yeoldecollector and scottishmoney are leagues ahead of me, but I thought for the less experienced (since I am a bit bored) I would highlight where to look for when your looking for the kings name and the mints name.
Obverse (Edward)

Reverse (London)

Obverse of this penny reads: +EDW REX ANGL DNS HYB = Edward King of England and Lord of Ireland
Reverse of this penny reads: CIVI TAS LON DON = City of London
The details on crown and breast can divide them into classes and different legends reveal different mints, monarchs and even countries as they were some continental coins and Irish ones too.
Many thanks Hus.
I'm still on the look out for any English/Irish hammered, let me know what you've got!
Clive.
