Lead alloy coin. A probably modern forgery of a late Iron Age coin whose details would appear to be drawn from the uninscribed gold coinages of the Corieltauvi. It does not resemble the silver units of that tribe. Some examples have been found with a coating of gold paint, perhaps here lost to erosion in a coastal find-spot. The distribution of these objects appears to be skewed towards sites frequented by metal detectorists, and these may represent the ‘salting’ of sites by rival collectors, whether in jest or malice. A ‘mint’ in the Grimsby area is suspected. …

Lead alloy possible coin forgery. A flat pellet of solidified and inflexible lead melt, flat on one side but with a concave oval impression suggesting a grid-like pattern; patinated. This might be a fragment of debris from the casting of lead which has come into contact with textile while still fluid, which could only be dated to between the Roman and Post-Medieval periods.
However, the northern part of Lincolnshire has also seen the frequent discovery of modern lead alloy forgeries intended to resemble Iron Age and Early Medieval coins. These have been produced in various ways,…

Lead alloy possible coin. An oval ‘flan’ with broken edge all around; possibly a modern forgery intended to represent an Iron Age or Anglo-Saxon coin. If this identification were sustained, this would be a further example of those modern forgeries of ancient coins which have been distributed across land frequented by detectorists, probably by other detectorists. A ‘mint’ in the Grimsby area is suspected.

A counterfeit lead alloy shilling of George III (AD 1760-1820). The artefact is missing chips to the left of the bust and a substantial part of its right side. NARC-60DCF1 suggests that most counterfeit coins attributed to George III’s reign are dated 1760. It is also possible this was intended as a gaming piece similar to DUR-87EBCD on the database. The object would be heavier than a shilling and appears quite coarse however it lacks the plain reverse to similar to gaming pieces, hence the suggestion of counterfiet coin.

An Iron Age 'silver' stater, a cross between the Abingdon Zoo / Chievely chicken type, ABC 1001 and 1010. There is some uncertainess about this coin because of its weight, at 7.17g it is very heavy compared with coins of the same date which are usually c. 1.0g, plus the execution is very crude, almost appearing to have solder droplets in places. This coin maybe a lead alloy, and as it is very heavy, and "marks paper!" (coin dealer, pers. comm), it could well be a modern forgery.
