VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 10/14/2014 8:15 pm I can't accurately make out this coin. It looks like there is some sort of monogram-like thing on the reverse (I'm guessing the first photo is the reverse) and a bust on the obverse. The face kind of reminds me of those on Saxon sceattas. Could this be a sceatta? Or possibly Merovingian (its being sold as this, and is supposedly bronze)? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16871 Posts	Posted 10/16/2014 12:57 am My first instinct was a lead token of some kind. To me, the patina looks more "lead" than "bronze". 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
