Georgieboy New Member United Kingdom 1 Posts	Posted 04/16/2013 06:12 am Good morning to you all. I have just found this site on the internet and was hoping someone would be able to identify this coin for my dear old mother. She has had it for many years given to her by her father but knows nothing about it. Its 31mm dia which leads me to believe its a penny. Its quite badly worn and I can barely make out any digits. If any one could shed some light it would be greatly appreciated. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff
