Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 08/09/2015 7:05 pm The two pictures need to have different names, and if you could get a little better focus. Cropping away the blank area around the coin can allow for the actual image of the coin to be larger Report this Post to the Staff

Mickhiggo New Member Ireland 3 Posts	Posted 08/10/2015 5:24 pm Yes there still not great pics, I'm going to try and put it in the scanner and see if that works. I'm thinking it could be spanish as we're not too far from where the Spanish Armada was wrecked off the west coast of Ireland and also I couldn't find any reference to it in any british guides. Ha Ha didnt find anything for years and within 3 days I find this, an early Half Groat and a Musket Ball. Report this Post to the Staff

The issuer was Edward Wight, and the legend reads ED WIGHT OF LIMBRICK on the obverse, and HIS HALF PENY 1677 on the reverse. http://www.rarecoinsandtokens.co.uk...ucts_id=2394 http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collec...s/39149.html And here's some background on this interesting class of coinage: http://www.thecoppercorner.com/hist...hC_hist.html Edited by philadelphian 08/11/2015 1:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
