Chris Perkins Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 I have an Edward VII Shilling with Bessie written on it, or at least I did have.It was popular at the time for young chaps about town to have the names of sweethearts engraved on coins. In fact, they did a lot more with coins back then, they coloured them in, made them into all kinds of elaborate jewellery etc. Probably because they actually contained some precious metal. Quote
Guest fearghal Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 ah... that might explain a small hole in the coin aswell...thankx for the help Quote
