The oil man:
I certainly have learnt something..


Don't ever hand a 750 year old coin to a work colleague 🤬

He showed some interest so i gave it to him for a look but in what seemed like a bad dream about 4 seconds in he said ”its broken"  ..

I couldn't believe it but thinking back I've heard this before so I'm stupid handing it over without installing in him  how delicate they are .

The really bad bit is that we couldn't find the missing fragment 😔

It wouldn't have been so bad if it had been  one of my others but I'm getting this one framed for my farmer ,well what's left of it 🙄

Learnt the hard way today I'm afraid ..

lobo:
Ouch, that's not good.  :-X

Lodge Scent:
Well that is a bummer Oily. Hopefully the missing bit will turn up.

That's not good :(

It must have had a substantial crack in it. I've straightened dished hammered pennies by simply putting them inside a book and whacking it with a hammer. It's neither a subtle nor a recommended technique, but I'm yet to have one break. I probably shouldn't have said that...

rusty old bucket:
Could have been worse mate , I have found Roman coins  before and lost them again before I have got  home!  ::)
