Those books look interesting. Personally, I tend to buy the Spinks coins every few years (both the English and Scotland and Ireland versions) and...
More than happy to oblige. Let me know what types of coins/artifacts you are interested in and I'll try to post some on the site. I don't collect...
It's surprising just how far some coins travel in their lifetimes. On a local farm here in Somerset, I have found a silver coin of Louis 14th of...
I hadn't really considered the potentially very long period of time that such coins might have remained in circulation and that my coin could have...

Many thanks for your replies.
I found the Christ/Virgin Mary token /medal about 9 months ago while metal detecting. I would like to try and find out more about its age, what...
