gianatti New Member Australia 3 Posts	Posted 07/24/2019 8:28 pm Hi Guys, Can anyone shed any light on this coin? The base metal is copper. It has a yellow fleck imbedded into the centre of the coin. It's never tarnished. Also the word GILT has been stamped on the coin. The area around the word isn't raise and the other side doesn't show any unevenness so it appears that it was done at the time of minting? Thank you in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

There was a similar thread about an 1897 farthing recently: http://goccf.com/t/351534#3016404 My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Edited by NumisRob 07/25/2019 01:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
