Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 04/13/2015 12:07 am Was this once a button? Purchased for melt a few years ago. It was marked as 1896, but he doesn't look like Vicky to me. Moved to British Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16834 Posts	Posted 04/13/2015 12:16 am Yes, that's solder - it's a coin that was turned into a button or brooch of some kind. The other damage may have been caused by either the process of making the brooch/button, or the process of de-maiking it and removing the pin. 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
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/13/2015 03:29 am Still worth keeping. An 1826 George 1V shilling was the start of my collection, way back in 1958. I was 12 years old, the coin was recovered from a safe that had the lock picked by my dad, because the keys had been lost. I still have the coin. I don't have my dad; he would be 104 years old now, if he was still alive. Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/07/2015 02:43 am As for the date, the third digit isn't a 9, but a 2 with the lower part filled. Report this Post to the Staff
