Ætheling Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Casually browsing and i came across this. A right stunner, i love the tone. The way the legends stand out in contrast. And it's so crisp. Link I've never met one of these before. I presume being a Gros that it's about the size of a groat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 It seemed like a lot of the English hammered were once nice coins until they were cleaned and retoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 What wrong with cleaned? I really don't have a problem with cleaned hammered coins. I buy cleaned ancients over uncleaned ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
