A Real Widows Mite

I picked up one recently set in silver. Rather a nice one as far as these go and set in a nice sterling bezel. I told my wife I had gotten her something special and showed it to her ..... I said it was a widows mite and she dropped it like a hot potato and began lecturing me about giving her anything that had once belonged to a 'widow' ! Albanian's are probably the most superstitious people you will ever find. Once I had brought her up to speed ...... she said "oh".

i like it...and would take it in a combined postage deal for sure.

These rather historic coins are not particularly rare.
I bought one recently, quite cheaply, at a car boot sale at a country fair. I knew what I was looking at.
I had already owned a couple of them for many years, before I acquired my third example.
