    In the first picture is the unidentified coin. Normally I wouldn't think too much about it except that it's double headed, and I'm not too sure what kind of coin it even is, or if it's supposed to be double headed. Any help with this one is beyond appreciated!

    The second picture is my 1921 morgan dollar coin and I wanted to know what you would grade it/ if it should be slabbed or not.


    what do you think? sorry I don't know a whole lot, I just love coins!

    The first one is a George II half penny.
    And, no--
    It should not be double headed.

    Can you get better images of the half penny? It is possible that this is a contemporary counterfeit (from the 18th century, these were heavily copied) and that counterfeiters used two obverse dies on it.

    Hi,

    Here is what it could be....

    In France, they were called jetons

    Britain used checkpieces

    German States and Germany used Spielemarkes

    All words for tokens made using designs of current coins but usually dateless.
    Using two heads is not beyond the realms of possibility.

    I am by no means an expert on these but it is quite possible that this is one.

    They were used as game pieces, or to do mathematical computations. In a sense, play money.

    There are many websites that explain these pieces but I can't find anything on this specific piece.

    Thanks,
    Bill

    Hi Hobo,

    I'm guessing

    1921 theirs know point = 1921, there's no point

    In reference to the slabbing question.

    Have Fun,
    Bill

    So know = no. Amazing.


    "Theirs" and "there's" I can figure out. In fact, I can decipher most of the misspelled words but some are beyond me. Thanks for pointing that one out to me.

    that's interesting I had no idea. It is very thick , I have another coin that I'm almost dure is the same type (it's in really bad conidition) and it's thin like a regular coin but this must be at least twice the thickness of that one

    Did anybody get my humour with slabworthy ?

    Reference is Seinfeld and Elaine and her sponges... spongeworthy.
