Description: Post-medieval find of 6 gold and 959 silver coins, range 1550-c.1642 Total face value of group at time of deposit: £43 17s.6d. Discussion The 1029 coins from Powerstock are all of good gold (22 carats fine) or of sterling silver (over 90% fine metal).  They are all English, without the Irish and Scottish element which is often a feature of large Civil War hoards, perhaps suggesting an unusual level of selection. The earliest coins are from Edward VI’s Third Period, 1550-3, along with two coins of Philip and Mary. Otherwise all coins are of Elizabeth I (…

A group of fused coins from Scaftworth, Nottinghamshire. There appears to be eight coins of the same denomination included, all silver halfpennies, probably of Elizabeth I, since the two visible sides are from this reign. As silver coins, they would be of the sterling standard, over 90% fine metal. The weight of the group is 1.92g (0.2g would be a good weight for a single specimen of this coin). Under Elizabeth, halfpennies were only struck from 1583, so the group would have been deposited after that date. It is very hard to say how long after that date this might have occurred, si…

I have examined ten coins reported found near Stowe. The first batch of five coins was found on 13 November 2004 and formed the subject of an earlier version of this reported dated 17 December 2004. Before the find reached the stage of inquest, a further find of coins on the site, made on 25 March 2005, was reported and these have now been incorporated into this amended report. The coins are all official English silver issues of the later 16th and 17th century and are thus of sterling standard of 92.5% fine metal.

I have examined a group of 10 coins reported found at Winterborne St Martin. All are official silver coins of Queen Elizabeth I and will be of the sterling standard, 92.5% fine metal. The group consists of just two of the silver denominations then in currency, the sixpence and threepence, so clearly represents selected material. The latest clearly dated coin is from 1575, so it appears the group was deposited in the mid to late 1570s.

~~The following is the treasure report written by Dr Barrie J. Cook I have examined a group of 468 silver objects reported found at Littledean, Gloucestershire. The objects are clippings, material clipped or sheared from the edges of coins. Coin clipping was a long-standing abuse of precious metal coinage in Britain (and elsewhere) and in the medieval and early modern periods was regarded as a major abuse, often linked with counterfeiting, and similarly subject to capital punishment. Description The clippings in this group come from three identifiable groups of coins from the 16th a…
