Many thanks Bob; I would have never guessed that. Unfortunately I haven't got the other part but it certainly is an interesting find.
It came with a lot of old coins, some quite worth collecting, from the house of a family member who passed quite recently. They may well have all been thrown away if I had not grabbed them.
There were a few hammered silver ones amongst them as well (earliest Charles I halfpenny), but although recognisable, not worth a lot due to their very worn condition. There were several George II, III, IIII bronze in very poor condition but a reasonable 1822 George IIII Silver Crown and a 1907 half dollar which looked as if it had been dragged along a gravel path.
Glad we dropped by and grabbed these, as well as a few wooden items, before the place was demolished and these items lost for all time.
Thanks again,
Mike.
