NumisRob Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4813 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 2:04 pm Hello and ! I don't know what type of coin you mean - please could you post decent photos of both sides of the item, and advise us of the diameter and weight? This will help us to identify what you have. Thanks!

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 7450 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 2:11 pm Most likely a coin weight, not a coin. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
Ballyhoo Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 2:51 pm Before the United States came to be it was just another in a very long list of British territories. So the Shilling, not to mention the more preferred Spanish Real, were the acceptable means of payment. However, both were silver-not bronze as you describe. Below is an example until you post one for reference. Hope this helps compared with your own. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 13057 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 5:20 pm If I had to guess, and it is a pure guess based on the lack of picture, what you have is a "coin weight". These were made to be used with coin scales, or coin balances. The weight corresponds to a gold coin, British or foreign, which had an exchange value of 36 shillings at the time the weight was made. You can see some examples of coin weights from the 1700s on this UKDFD page. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Pillar of the Community United States 7835 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 5:58 pm I agree with Sap. There are early 18th c. brass weights with an equivalence of 36/- for the Portuguese gold 4 escudo coin (cf. John/Johannes V of Portugal, whose Portuguese name Joao was commonly shortened to "Joe") A "double Joe" was 3/12/- in LSD (written as Three Pound Twelve on the weights) = 8 Escudos or 12,800 Brazilian reis.
