That's a beautiful portrait on that one, longnine. It would look good on a U.S. coin depicting Liberty. Bruce
Here's another badly damaged William lll Half Penny dug by the same detectorist in the UK who dug the previous one I posted. This one has some...
I found my old train ticket stub. It was my mother-in-law's from when she traveled from Philadelphia to Ft. Pierce, FL. in 1943 to visit her...
Great research, LormM. Really puts a face to these interesting pieces. Bruce
Yeah, old Tim would be pushing 300 years old, LordM, but hey, he could be a Vulcan. I've actually come across the surname Lavender once before. I...
That's really unusual, gsalexn. It would be interesting to see how air travel was back then. A lot less comfortable than today, I'm sure. I have...
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...
Here's one that in many ways is the poster child for ugly. Not only badly damaged and stained, but counterstamped with "UDA" (Ulster Defence...
I've sent an image of your counterstamp to several people I know who are very good at interpreting these things. My contact in Tennessee has...
I'll look around for you, Jeff. Anything on the reverse or markings that don't show on the picture? Bruce
That's really an impressive coin, Paddy. I can't imagine carrying many of those around in the day as "pocket change". I did a quick search for...
Better keep your Morgans in your pocket, John. Forum rules frown on anything being flashed or whipped out.:eek: Bruce
I always liked apothecary weights, Circus, but like a lot of other issues, I don't have any. Do you know what the "M" in the diamond shape means?...
"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...
