Guest Chris J Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Good Afternoon I recently came across a small copper coin I can make out an anchor on one side the rest is covered in salt corrosion found on a beach, the anchor is not centered but to the side. Does anyone know of these coins.. thanks Chris Quote

We would need to see a decent photo or scan to help us, but it may prove difficult. Could be a token, I'm thinking. You can upload images using the Attachments dialogue below. Quote
