Coin_Hunter Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 This looks to be a traders' weight, but other than that the only think I can make out is the word "SUFFOLK" - does anyone have basic information about this pieces? Lead? era? What exactly was it used for, how etc? the letters/symbols? Quote

Red Riley Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Oh my God! Never mind, it looks military so may yet have an interesting tale to tell. Quote
Colin G. Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Oh my God! Never mind, it looks military so may yet have an interesting tale to tell.Definitely looks like a trade weight to me, might be worth having a look on UKDFD, it is a database for detectorists, you may be able to find a match with some of the identified trade weights Quote

Coin_Hunter Posted May 1, 2009 Author Posted May 1, 2009 I am guessing it will be a4 drams of either George or William IV due to the 'IV' - Suffolk might be it's place of manufacture or where it was first tested. Quote
