spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/09/2020 05:39 am It's doubtful that the initials can be linked to a specific person, if that's your question. If you're just asking what the letters are, it looks like "I.M."

Without any background or provenance, it is impossible to identify whose initials they may have been. That being said, while technically they are damaged coins, they do have a collector value. Simple initials are the lowest interest, although having them on a crown is rather uncommon. Edited by oriole 09/09/2020 06:33 am Report this Post to the Staff
