Pistareen Valued Member United States 309 Posts	Posted 03/03/2015 9:25 pm Does anyone specialize in medieval hammered silver? Here are a lot of coins found at Oxford, needing a gander by a trained pair of eyes. Anything noteworthy in this batch? Report this Post to the Staff

Badger Mint Valued Member United States 324 Posts	Posted 03/03/2015 10:14 pm Kinda hard to tell with the way they are piled up, but definitely English not Spanish. The piece in the upper right may be a 3 farthing of Elizabeth I. Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 05:51 am A big pile of English hammered. You'd need better pictures of each one to get the ruler/types. I recommend you send a picture of the batch to the Ashmolean - they'd want to conserve the information about where they're from. Keep an eye open for any Charles I/Oxford mint coins.
