Raoul Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Hi everyone i came across this very small penny about half the size of an early threepence while metal detecting , i also found another 4 coins normal sized penny's sixpence and a threepence all early Queen Victoria in the mid 1800's . I have tried the web without success so hopefully someone here might know something about it. Cant see a date on it and i can not make out the Queebs name.Thanks for any help..........

Raoul Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 John thank you very much,i think you have nailed it. I would never have found it. As you can see i don't post much as i don't realy collect coins my hobby is metal detecting and i do find a lot of old coins but mostly i can identify them only when i cant i post them here and you guys on this forum are terrific and have always managed to help me . Which is appreciated,many thanks again. Cheers Raoul Quote
