<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stuart Williams, post: 3233650, member: 99049&quot;]Nice find! In Ireland we lost the opportunity of finding old coins in our change about 1971 when the £-s-d coinage went decimal. As schoolkids back then, we&#039;d vie with each other who&#039;d find the oldest coin in their change. Sometimes you&#039;d get a penny or half-penny as far back as the 1860&#039;s! Invariably, back then most pre-1900 coppers were so worn they looked like thin discs with only faint outlines of the design and queen&#039;s head. You&#039;d be lucky to get one with a readable date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
