MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1563 Posts	Posted 04/05/2020 09:27 am From my trays again..... Interesting coin this one, its an obvious Fourree and is quite untidy in appearance but its one I can remember keeping hold of because the bust is still sort of eligible and, I think, in its day would have been a very convincing coin. If any of you guys can stick on it an identification of what it was supposed to be that would be great! Many thanks, Kevin. 5.34 grams & 23 mm. Silver over base metal. Report this Post to the Staff

Very light for a tet, but then a corroded base core would be. On the other hand, maybe a didrachm.

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1563 Posts	Posted 04/05/2020 10:27 am Thank you Bob. Its just one of those coins that although rough, just had to keep it. I am having a pause in the sorting of the trays as I have pulled out a few that need the toothpick clean so that should kill a few days for me. Thanks again, Kevin. Report this Post to the Staff
