I found a Edward the confessor hammer penny last weekend detecting. I’ll in one piece. Left it in de-ironised water for 5 min and left to air dry did it a couple of times. The patina is fully in tact. Looks amazing. Love this channel.
It was brutal, but that was the 12th century, life was short, cheap and brutal. Yet the quality of coin striking in this era was awful. If you look at the late Anglos Saxon pennies, they were well struck and beautiful coins - but as we head into the Norman era the quality goes down and generally stays down except for small reforms like the Tealby pennies and Long Cross Pennies, but even after a few years they fall off and its like that right through to Edward's reforms in 1279 or thereabout. I have my eyes on an Ethelred penny and its just beautiful, round, well struck and professional looking!
No, you certainly wouldn't. The only job that could actually cost you an arm and a leg.
It’s been a while, I hope you post again soon.
Wow, and I thought roman mintworkers had it rough!
Low-grade rare coins are an underrated genre of coins imo, glad to see them get some love.
Great info & thanks Luke, Only found one Henry 1st detecting, a struck well off centre pellets in quartrofiol type, but love the history about it.
Where have you gone, what’s next.
This channel is fantastic. Please upload more!

Hoping to see more content again in the near future.
I hope you do a video on Tealby style pennies in the style of your long cross made easy video.
A wonderfully informative and based video. God bless 🙏
This is so amazing.
Thanks for a great video Luke😃. I’ve been wondering where you’d got to.

Interesting to see that low-grade coins are not just a product of heavy use and cleaning
The record-keeping going back that far is certainly astonishing
Thanks! Love these videos! 😎👍🍀
Wonder we’re he went
Cheers Luke,that's a great coin and we'll worth buying ,I don't fancy being a moneyer then😩😖🙏

Those poor unfortunates had it tough.Didn’t help to have a despotic monarch.
