<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pab, post: 44211, member: 2686&quot;]Just going through some old threads as I am a new member (from Gloucester, England).&nbsp; The coin shown appears to be a cast counterfeit halfcrown - a lot of silver coins of this period were so copied and originally given a silver wash to pass as good money.&nbsp; The person that made, or even passed this coin was in danger of ending their life very publicly on the gallows or transported to Autralia.&nbsp; At present they have little monetery value (probably about the equivalent of $1-$2 ish) but in my view have great interest as social history as they are contemporary forgeries of the coins they copy (not a modern copy to fool gullible collectors). </p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>PAB.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
