Yep, and oddly about identical in condition to my die number 19 I was looking at about half an hour ago!

Always nice to dig some silver, whatever monarch or denomination!

Nice find. I bet someone was sorry to lose a shilling. Looking at the condition it wasn't a newly minted coin but still a day's pay for a soldier in WW1

I've had quite vitriolic run-ins with some Ebay sellers who have _made up_ the    'penny with a bullet - Trench Art'  nonsense,

making cash from the WW1 centenary.  Really winds me up.
