I too love that Anne shilling dated J7JJ. The initials on the bust of the George III "bullhead" make that coin a love token, I reckon.
Have you been smoking certain substances again, Sal? ;)
Thanks for the update. I'll lock this contest down for the archives, now.
@dwhiz posted his receipt in a separate thread, so I will lock this one down now.

That's a pretty sharp hand heller.
Some kind of art project does seem a good use for them. What are some of his ideas?
Those were nice holders.
Wow!!!
Great finds!
Looks like Roman "nails" I have seen pictures of.
