hi guys sorry about the bad pictures but i thought id show you my oldest silver hammered coin which i found 3 days ago,its a king henry the 3rd long cross penny and dates from 1240 to 1270 over 740 years old!! found on a ploughed field amongst many other hammered coins as you have probably guessed im from england and am very lucky to be able to search for extremely old coins in excellent condition(if they are silver or gold lol)today i found a roman bronze coin in poor condition but the detail is clear enough to see a head and the reverse of the coin showing 2 primitive soldiers in battle so again sorry for the bad pic but enjoy anyway

you may be able to see the kings head on the left pic,its looking straight at you,the revers is a long cross with a series of dots and wording around the rim

Fantastic find. Wouldn't know what to do if I dug up something that old - probably dance a jig.
