I have found several cut quarter hammered coins while metal detecting here in the UK. Are there any specialist collectors or websites for such items? My latest such finds are shown below. Cut quarters of Stephen, Ethelred 2nd long cross and helmet types.
Cool items. I also detect but here in the States. No hammered Silve for me. Oldest silver coin is a worn 1/2 reale.
Hi SensibleSal, Thanks for your kind comments. Out of interest, how old is your half reale and what realistically are the oldest coins you could expect to find where you are located? Where I live here in Somerset in the UK, the oldest coins tend to be Iron Age or Roman. My oldest coin find is this M. Furius roman republican denarius dating to 119bc .
