<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1430903, member: 19463&quot;]By my definition this is Early (earliest?) Modern and Milled.&nbsp; I tend to separate medieval and modern coins more by their methods of production than by date.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]174891.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Elizabeth I 6d 1567</p><p><br /></p><p>Still Early Modern but back to hammered is this Half Crown of Charles I.&nbsp; Mine is a defective example because of the clipped flan but full many flan ones we see are even more poorly struck since the size was not easy to produce by the hammer method.&nbsp; Perhaps the appearance of these is what finally led to the abandoning of the hammer?&nbsp; Large coins take quite a bit of force and milled coins make sense as a step into the modern age. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]174892.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
