Object type: COIN
Broad period: MODERN
County: Lincolnshire

Lead possible coin forgery. A droplet of lead which has set on a flat surface and then been stamped with an oval panel on its upper side; the metal retains a grey tint. This may be a further example of ‘coins’ made to resemble Celtic and Anglo-Saxon issues distributed across land frequented by metal detectorists; a ‘mint’ in the Grimsby area is suspected. Suggested date: Modern, 1990-2010
Diameter: 19.8mm, Thickness: 4mm, Weight: 7.31gms

Broad period: MODERN
County: Lincolnshire

Lead alloy coin. A probably cast flan, perhaps intended to imitate a silver or gold Celtic coin. Numerous modern forgeries of Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon coins distributed in areas of heavy detectorist activity are thought to come from a ‘mint’ in the Grimsby area, and may reflect rivalry between detectorists. Suggested date: Modern, 1980-2000

Object type: COIN
Broad period: MODERN
County: Lincolnshire

Lead coin. A modern replica, as kindly identified by the finder. This example is probably intended to resemble an Anglo-Saxon sceat, and appears from its edge to be constructed from the union of two separate thin flans. Their unpatinated surfaces may suggest this to be a recent addition to a corpus of fake base metal coins purporting to be of Anglo-Saxon or Iron Age date. Their distribution is centred in north-eastern Lincolnshire, with a postulated 'mint' in the Grimsby area. They are thought to have been broadcast in jest or malice on known detecting fields. One side of this example…

Lead
Coin. Modern Forgery of a Porcupine Sceatta, Series E.
Obverse description: Quilled crescent right.
Reverse description: Central cross of four pellets; lines and pellets either edge.
Diameter: 16.1mm, Weight: 2.40gms.
Similar objects have been recovered, particularly from favoured detecting sites since about 2000, apparently as a reprisal for indeterminate misdeeds by one group of detectorists against another. A group of lead sceattas interpreted as a dispersed hoard was reported in the TAR for 2008 (no. 572); local detectorists believe these were reported as Treasure…
