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.

Thanks for the video! Found my first silver Hammered yesterday after years of detecting so I can relate to your six pence experience!:)

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.

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.

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!

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?

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

Can you send me an e mail of the coin image?

[@Baron-Bagaten]

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.

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

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

[@Baron-Bagaten]

@@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.

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

@@Baron-Bagaten I will do a little research for you, I hope you enjoyed the film too!

[@Baron-Bagaten]

@@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!

[@EnlightenedPatriot1]

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.

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

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 !

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!
