Plugged coins

I Nearly scrapped this one for being a ex mount ...on the reverse some rather nice initials have been sympathetically added circa 1887

I said if i found out any more information I would post it up on the thread. I have found a little more out about the guy whose name , rank etc is edge engraved on the cartwheel penny.

He was apparently born around 1784 in Inveravon, Banff, Scotland and died at the ripe old age of 93 from the Flu on November 22nd 1877 in Conval Street , Dufftown. Not a bad innings for a seasoned veteran.

Today I found this George IV Shilling 1826 has W&P stamped on it, 

I have the understanding this was done by company's as a way of advertisement

its tidy job so I will be keeping it.👍

I don't know who the merchant W&P was, but here's another one:
