JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 01/19/2018 12:08 pm I recently won this for $3 in a Proxibid auction and for the life of me can't figure out which letter of the alphabet it exhibits. I'm torn between a J, F, H, or a G, but then again, it could be a Y, lol. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7618 Posts	Posted 01/19/2018 12:14 pm You believe it is "PJF".... As in Patty Jane Fourtenberry. (Or something like that!) Report this Post to the Staff
Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 01/19/2018 12:27 pm Could it be "IJ", which is a letter in the Dutch language? Report this Post to the Staff
JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 01/19/2018 12:41 pm @westernsky- Am I supposed to know who Patty Jane Fortenberry is? I believe it to be just a single letter, but which one? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/19/2018 12:51 pm The letter "H" I think. Report this Post to the Staff
Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 01/19/2018 12:56 pm In retrospect, I'm in the "H" camp as well. Search Google images for "h old calligraphy". Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21602 Posts	Posted 01/19/2018 1:48 pm The second picture is correct. It is a modified Olde English "H" Report this Post to the Staff

Coopertron5000 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 516 Posts	Posted 01/19/2018 6:25 pm Looks like a H to me too. Nice piece you have, I'd be happy with that for $3! Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/19/2018 7:25 pm I will join the H crowd. The second picture resembles a lower case Gothic calligraphy H Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/19/2018 7:44 pm I suggested this (above) in the first place because, as an antique dealer, I have seen this character often on everything from jewelry to sterling flatware. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 12:02 am Seems like it is an H then. Nice purchase. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 03:05 am Thanks guys, I took your advice and googled examples of old English H monograms and that is definitely what it exhibits, a lower case Old English H. It would make an amazing gift for someone, if I only knew a relative or a female friend that had a first or last name that started with the letter H....,,, oh well, I'm sure I can turn a small profit for it on the Bay. Once again thanks for all the input! JDRMCB Report this Post to the Staff
