publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 1:09 pm Where did you get it? Assuming it was picked up in Great Britain by a metal-detectorist, my first guess would be "Lushburgh money", debased evasive copies of English regal pennies produced in the Low Countries. What appears to be green encrustation of copper salts is suggestive. Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 08/16/2013 5:07 pm Could we start by getting a consensus from the forum on what the first and fourth letter in the obverse legend is? Stylized N? Stylized R? Has anyone seen any other coins with this odd letter, that might help us pin down a geographic area? Report this Post to the Staff
