- Coinage of queen Elizabeth the 1st and how to identify them, hopefully this film will help people with their queen Elizabeth hammered coins and how to identify them, watch how I match the coins to the reference book and how I pick out the mint marks matched to the dates, I really hope you all find it of great use as it took some time to put together, once again please leave a comment or two as they are always appreciated by us here at unearthed, take care and be safe.
Always a buzz finding any hammered coins,
Absolutely kev
This is brilliant, thank you. Just got my first Elizabeth 1 sixpence.
Well done sarah!!
Thanks for this information I got my first hammers coin today 1562 I carnt wait
Well done joe
Thanks for the video! Found my first silver Hammered yesterday after years of detecting so I can relate to your six pence experience!:)
Congratulations 🎊 👏
@@unearthed-detecting-tv Thanks! I was just showing the kids the detector at my parents in laws back garden… kids has lost interest so I thought ok one more signal and boom!
I think my minds made up on what I want to collect. Loved your video and I learned a lot. Thanks 😁🙏
Many thanks for watching!
Great video this helped a lot 👍
Thank you!
Excellent video and much needed, I'm glad you share the same passion for the Elizabethan coinage as I, they are my addiction and only ones that I collect now, a true Golden age of coinage. Obviously acquiring a Crown, Half Crown or an Angel may be more difficult to complete the set, but the unique thing is the varied portraits, every coin will tell a story and is never repeated, they are a wonder of individuality all on their own. Many thanks.
Many thanks ray
Great video Graeme, especially as I found my first Elizabeth I coin last week, a half groat with a Woolpack mark. The penny in the video looks to have a second issue mintmark rather than the fifth issue, although I stand to be corrected.
Very helpful and informative, thanks very much!
Many thanks for watching
Nice one I found a sixpence today thinking it was a shilling but with the date on it it’s defo a sixpence! Ps this video popped up when I googled it 😆

I had found a coin that said Queen Elizabeth I And it had 5 francs on it And what I think was a little marks around the outer edge of it And this was a copper coin And it was dated 1889 maybe Because the coin was stolen from me It was copper and the size of an american fifty cent piece It was a big coin
Great video mate....i got the 2018 edition book ....but I still haven't found a hammy ...but my day will come 🤞...many thanks again mate for your videos ...keep safe 👍

Thanks for watching steve, hope you are well my friend
Great video Graeme, really informative. Thanks for that, and stay safe
Thank you for watching mate
Bang on Graeme! What a brilliant idea to do this video! The information is fascinating. Your wealth of experience, and success in the field is there for all to see and learn from, and unlike some, you share it. Great history lesson. Good teacher. Those that haven't, need to buy a coin book from you a.s.a.p. Nothing like a good book when boredom really kicks in. Good old Lizzie, "she's got a good bust" lol. Proper Job. After enjoying this film, I'm now pacing around like a leopard in a cage! Keep safe my friend, and Mel, and yours loved ones. Yip!
Take care tim, one of the good guys in life you are!
Superb video mate.. 👏👏👏Some real beauties there.. Great to see detecting talk again.. Love the finds vids.. Love to all the family.. Take care & see you all soon. ❤️👍

@@raymondhill8973 stay safe mate
Thanks Graeme, brilliant informative video, stay safe. 👍
Thank you for the kind words Jeff.
Brilliant video one of my favourites so far, hope you find the illusive gold hammered.
Heartwarming to know these films hit the spot, many thanks G.
I think the penny is a second issue 21...
Outstanding video with excellent explanations of the differences in coins and how to find them in the coin guide. May I suggest you make this a series and do other types of coins also. thanks
Thanks for spending the time to watch Mike, I shall do more indeed.
@@unearthed-detecting-tvmy pleasure.
Seeing that I think I have found 3 bronze/copper(?) Roman coins, a video on those would be very useful but I expect that, given the range and lifespan of that coinage, it might be too mammoth a task.
I bet that's helped a lot of people out with ID's Graeme. Take care mate
I hope so Rob, take care mate
Cross Crosslet 1560-1
Hi, could I please ask a Q. I purchase one from a seller years ago. And one of them I noticed when you flip it over, the queens profile is not straight up, it’s rotated on the side. Could that mean it’s a fake? Or because they were hand stamped that it wasn’t perfectly aligned? Have all the coins you found been profile one side, and flipped and the shield facing the correct way on the reverse?
Can you send me an e mail of the coin image?
@@unearthed-detecting-tv thanks Graeme, I’ve sent you an email. I appreciate your time looking 👍🏻
Very helpful video. Now we need one on the Edwards or telling the Johns from the Richards and Henry's!
Thanks for watching mate
hello recently found a 1562 Elizabeth coin but not sure on its authenticity can anyone lend an any assistance ? thanks

Hi
My elizabeth 1st coin does not have a mark
Can you help me please
Hi , what Elizabeth coin is it?
Is the 2021 book the same?
yes sir!
How do u clean them
A wash under the tap
A really interesting and informative video once again, really enjoyable whilst suffering this enforced hiatus from our wonderful hobby. All I have to do now is find one of those coins!
Some years ago, I had a permission near Skipton/Elslack, close to a Roman fort site (the Church there made of stone from the fort), with no coins found but I organised a rally for the small Preston History Hunters MDC I had just joined - sadly now defunct. Straight into the field with a fellow member, six foot away from me, his first signal - an Elizabethan silver shilling! Envious or what? Lol. No, always pleased to see others do well also (smiles through gritted teeth) but, as they say, That's Life! I'll keep looking and hoping.
After a long break for certain reasons, went back 2-3 years ago but - farm sold to a Carlisle company, farmer tenant only, and they refused me continued permission. Like with land sold to 2 local housing developers laid unused for years, not willing to have me detect but what harm done? Disappointing. Thanks Graeme - please keep 'em coming.
Thanks for watching Sir!
⚔️💪😎👌👌(stroke)
Interesting indeed, but do you/or anyone else have any idea on the reasoning as to why they never stamped the dates on some of the coins ?, I can understand why not on the Halfpenny Portcullis but they did have the room to do so on the others ?. A mint mark with no date which gives a mint date between 2 or 3 years looks a little vague and I wonder why they done this. Thank you.
Hello, in my opinion it will be something to do with changing the coin dies all the time, without the dates they could get away without altering them for a few years etc
@@unearthed-detecting-tv Many thanks for your reply and for highlighting this subject. I understand the Die's to produce the coins never lasted for very long due to the friction in manufacture of each coin. So it would be feasible to say they had a need to make new Die's regularly, and especially given that all of Elizabeth's coins were minted in the Tower of London, so making it easier to control the standards. As a serious collector, I'm researching as to why there are date errors along with mismatched mintmarks, but also wondering just out of historical interest why they never put dates on all coins. Any ideas would be most welcome. Thank you.
@@Baron-Bagaten I will do a little research for you, I hope you enjoyed the film too!
@@unearthed-detecting-tv Thank you kindly, I did indeed enjoy the video immensely and have now watch it start to finish three times...so far !. I was wondering if you may be doing any further videos on other Monarchs in the hammered coin range. King Henry III is my other most collected as there are so many Mints and Moneyer's to collect. Thank you.
@@Baron-Bagaten yes of course, more to come!
The Tudor coins always seem to be bent and with an obliterated face , but old copper nose ( henry VIII) did like to lighten up his coinage !
Agreed, however if you lift them up from pasture you can get some real Gems!
I wish mime was in nicer shape
You will find another one
Hi Graeme, shame you had to sell the mint shilling to please the farmer, (do you have photos of the coin) seems a little petty in my opinion. I'm sure he could have had it valued where you then personally give him half the value!
Sadly at the time I could afford the £400.00 I would have had to pay him, I still look for it too!
@@unearthed-detecting-tv By the way enjoyed the video, I'm sure I'll be getting that book when I find my first hammered! :) I learned something new there similar to looking up hallmarks on silver & gold . Take care mate! :)
