pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 08/11/2013 6:49 pm Oh yes it is modern. I think someone had a go at cleaning it after they came home from the pub. Great gouges on the revers, probably to see if was something other than bronze, and then between the letters on the obv. It is a real shame. It might only be worth a quid, but that is just vandalism. Thanks for the ID. Report this Post to the Staff

Great gouges on the revers, probably to see if was something other than bronze... Sadly, it was probably the finder that did this damage. In some parts of the old Empire, coins freshly dug up illicitly are often tested to see if they might be silver inside. 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
