aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 10/12/2018 7:37 pm You coin appears to be a King Charles II Threepence. Probably issued at the Tower Mint, London between 1660-1669. https://collections.museumvictoria..../items/61526 Report this Post to the Staff
CalzoneManiac Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 10/12/2018 7:59 pm https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces55823.html This appears to be closer to the OP coin. These are undated, but were struck between 1636 and 1642, just before the English Civil War. Edited by CalzoneManiac 10/12/2018 8:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 10/13/2018 01:17 am @ CalzoneManiac - Please check the reverse of the posted coin. It is different to the Charles I coin on Numista. I still believe the coin is a Charles II threepence. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36916 Posts	Posted 10/13/2018 12:52 pm Worthless copy. At least it only cost you 10c. Report this Post to the Staff
CalzoneManiac Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 10/13/2018 1:43 pm @aiglet7 I was thinking about that, which led me to question the coin's authenticity. But I was kinda tired, so I didn't really feel like editing my original post Report this Post to the Staff
