From the reign of King Edward III, 1327-1377.&nbsp; I believe them to be silver half pennies. It is interesting to hold them and wonder what somebody bought all those years back and didn&#039;t have change, hence them being cut into halves and quarters.</p><p>They were found from spoil when the Jubilee line extension was added to the London underground, so unfortunately I have no idea from where they were actually dug up.</p><p>The little quarter piece is still sharp from where it was cut some 650 years ago!</p><p>The complete coin is 15mm Ø ( 5/8&quot;).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Holding these I can well understand peoples fascination with collecting coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
