Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/10/2014 4:17 pm While a little blurry, the design of the reverse can now be clearly recognised, so yes it matches what 'philadelphian' said. The only thing you need now to ensure the attribution is right is to weigh it. The 1802-1829 1/2 Pice copper dump is stated with a weight of 5.31g, so if yours is roughly that weight then all is clear. Report this Post to the Staff
