Half-Guinea.
I think this one is 1698
Spink 3468 but no picture of the bust in my book so not sure.
Laur. bust r.R. Crowned cruciform shields,scepters in angles with late harp.
The coin has two strange bumps directly opposite each other.
What grade would this coin be?
Thanks for any help.
The big one really is a George III sixpence, any ideas on the inscription meaning?
I've put a sixpence next to it just for comparison of size.
Not sure if its a love token or a Georgian game of some kind as its been inscribed.
I have no idea how someone squashed this but you can still see the inscriptions around the coin.
I took a look at your site, your coins are a nice dark copper colour. Coins out of the soil always come out green, would they be acceptable to a collector?
Thanks for the info.
I always thought coppers as no good for collecting in this condition.. Over the years I have had hundreds maybe thousands out of the fields, going to start taking a safer container with me as some of the Vicky pennies come out in lovely condition but end up falling apart in my finds pouch.
I know what your job would have been back in the medieval period. What do you make them out of Dave?
That could be so misleading to someone like me, if I found that in a field, I would have a coronary ?
Fab workmanship though.
