harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 12/30/2011 4:09 pm Okay folks, these are some small coins, about 18 and 16 mm respectively. I have looked and looked but can't come up with the orgin of either. I'm sure someone will figure them out with out much trouble. (I want to say the first is Swedish, but I couldn't find anything from Sweden with a denomination of three. I want to say the second is Argentian based on the coat of arms, but I swear it says Venezueala.) Report this Post to the Staff

harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 12/30/2011 4:46 pm British threepence?!?! Oh man, I was quite a bit off. That's a shame...I need to work on my coin ID skills! Sadly this is from an auction and the seller isn't being very cooperative. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16834 Posts	Posted 12/30/2011 7:13 pm The British threepence can't be "1870", because that's the jubilee portrait, only used 1887-1893. So presumably the date is "1890". 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
