Can you help age this coin please?

[moody]

Found it on a walk the other day, just finished cleaning it.

Think it might be a groat but unsure of age.

 

[danny la rouge]

If you want to age it, try rubbing some dirt on it.

Is it a flattened milk bottle top?

 

[moody]

it's silver, that's for sure and it's been slightly clipped too

I think it's a manhole cover and the OP is really huge.

It matches the image of a groat from 1272-1307 on the wikipedia page, so it's either a groat from 1272-1307 or a reproduction of the same.

consult a numismatist

(also worth a few grand if it's real, so defo consult someone)

defo got some age to it, the images on both sides are quite rubbed and pitted

I'd go back to the same spot with a metal detector if I were you. Although you'd need to declare if if you found any more.

A wee word of advice from a coin collector. If you find an old coin DO NOT CLEAN IT!

It's not that Edward I groat - different portrait look at the hair.

 

[platinumsage]

It would help if you could take a photo in focus so that we could read the writing

 

[platinumsage]

Also can you measure it?

I'm guessing an Edward III penny at the moment

You jammy bastard.

Bit late

He couldn't say before moody found it

If that's a genuine coin and not a repro, you have a great find indeed. It's from a time when coins were made by hammering rather than milling. The metal is usually thin and was often clipped round the edges by people who wanted to save a bit of the silver but still spend the coin.

I've had a look at a few sites, this has the best description of what's written on the coin and it all matches up.

Deffo a groat, edward the 1st

I have a feeling though that the one I have is a copy/reproduction, although it's deffo silver.

 

[Chilli.s]

Examine the edge with a magnifying glass to look for modern manufacturing marks, a seam if its been cast.

Yep a real one would be a lot dirtier than that.

Probably completely black with oxidisation.

that comes off easily in an acid bath though.
