<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HammeredCoin, post: 2228413, member: 75598&quot;]I think that is an interesting point.&nbsp; Speaking only of the hammered coins that I specialize in (Henry II to Edward I), I would say at first, yes it seems that a lot of the cut voided long cross pennies would seem to be very pure and unclipped.&nbsp; I would postulate (without any concrete data to back this up) that these coins may indeed have signs of clipping.&nbsp; However, without the visual context of the full coin to serve as a sort of guide or check, maybe the clipping is less readily apparent.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other point I would make is that we often find heavily clipped examples of Edward I pennies, but your run of the mill Henry III exhibits far less clipping on average.&nbsp; Just a thought and I want to look back at the average weights found in hoards for these two groups to see if there is a statistical difference in weights to support this supposition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
