<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheRed, post: 3154852, member: 87080&quot;]Very nice coin [USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER] I really like it.&nbsp; I still have yet to get a nice Edward I VLC penny.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Colchester hoard was actually found in 2 parts.&nbsp; The first part was discovered in the early 1900s and as about 12,000 coins, mostly short cross pennies with some Irish and Scottish included.&nbsp; The second hoard, which you wrote about, has a nice breakdown here:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/1974_BNJ_44_5.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/1974_BNJ_44_5.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital BNJ/pdfs/1974_BNJ_44_5.pdf</a>&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One of Edward&#039;s major motivations for the expulsion of Jews from England was that he was deeply in debt and Parliament was balking at his request for higher taxation.&nbsp; When the Jews were expelled their property reverted to the Crown and all outstanding debts the Crown owed to them were negated.&nbsp; Many of the English Jews immigrated to Poland, which at the time protected Jews by law.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t until the rule of Oliver Cromwell that Jews were allowed to settle in England.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
