crzybear New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/24/2013 9:43 pm Hello, I have searched the web and am at a loss as to what these are. The first is very corroded and only partial images remain. Diameter is 1 and 1/8". Coin two is 3/4" at the widest point. Any help is greatly appreciated! Identified - moved to British Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16850 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 07:47 am Sorry for the delay in replying, but the second piece is a replica "widow's mite" of Pontius Pilate. Whoever made this replica was clearly working off of a picture, because everything is inverted - the design should be raised like on a normal coin, rather than incuse. 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
