Nice coin coin_nut. If you look at the coin the other way it looks like "R W". The marks to the left of the 1763 could possibly be "Born" so the...
You're right lordM...Half Penny. Thanks Bruce
This is a 1701 William lll English Penny. It was dug by a detectorist in the UK. near Manchester. I have a few other pieces from him too....
That's pretty well struck for a Robinson piece, Paddy. I've seen so many of these, most poorly struck, but yours is decent. Some have a "Razor...
I'd call that a badge of honor, lord M. To be dug by one as accomplished as you is special. <lol> Finding it in North Carolina is especially...
I have a similar token from Cline in my collection, dwhiz. I think the reverse might be a little different. I picked it up at his table in...

"IPLO" stands for the Irish Peoples Liberation Organisation. It was a very violent Nationalist paramilitary founded in Northern Ireland in 1986....
Great piece, great story, Bill. I don't think the condition is particularly important, as it may be the only example extant...maybe the only one...
That "P / 192" stamp is likely an inspector's stamp. Since the coin is dated 1942, it may be from a worker in a factory producing goods for the...
Counterstamp collectors aren't common, Joe, but there are some highly motivated people with an interest in them. Any other questions you might...
I just posted some comments about this coin in your old 2017 thread titled PMD? I thought it was the best place to post them. Bruce
I know this thread is a bit old, but I just came across it after seeing your post in the new thread about damaged coins, jafo50. I believe...
