2019 T715 Topcliffe, North Yorkshire (SWYOR-514873) I have examined a group of 53 coins reported found at Topcliffe, North Yorkshire.  The find consists of 51 silver pennies of the English kings Edward I and Edward II, with the latest coins dating class 14 of the series, issued c. 1317-20, and two of the contemporary Scottish coinage in the name of Alexander III.  All these were struck to a standard of over 90% fine metal and would easily have been in circulation together in England in the decade or so after 1317.  They are all full pennies, with none of the halfpennies…

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…
