Sap Moderator Australia 16850 Posts	Posted 11/25/2013 7:35 pm Number 2, which we never would have guessed form the earlier pics, is an Irish token. Example. 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
Dave The Hat New Member United Kingdom 15 Posts	Posted 11/25/2013 7:38 pm Number 1 again. This is a heavy coin, the head of Vespasian sticks very proud from the coin. Once again thanks so much for all of your advice and thoughts really appreciate it! Edited by Dave The Hat 11/25/2013 7:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dave The Hat New Member United Kingdom 15 Posts	Posted 11/25/2013 7:43 pm Thanks Sap! That's the one! I looked for hours and hours for this one on the internet. Really grateful. Spent so many days now, these last few have proven frustrating to catalogue! Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 11/25/2013 8:32 pm That's more than just an Irish token, Sap! US colonial coin collectors covet them as one of the earliest coins imported for use in the American colonies, in the 1680s. Lucky metal detectorists still turn them up, almost exclusively in New Jersey. http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/Col...t.intro.html Edited by philadelphian 11/25/2013 9:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dave The Hat New Member United Kingdom 15 Posts	Posted 11/25/2013 9:26 pm Thanks for that link Philadelphian such an interesting read. So much history attached to that little coin that has sat in a dusty box for the last 20 odd years. I remember looking at these coins in my grandfathers study as a kid and being intrigued by all the odd shapes sizes and colours, so really pleased to learn more about them all.
