rogers Valued Member Canada 122 Posts	Posted 06/14/2010 8:11 pm I picked these up recently, but unfortunately they're so worn I can't even search for them online. (The top one is the one above) (The left one I don't know, but I think the date is 1789.) The other is an 1806 British penny Thanks for any help!

Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 06/15/2010 07:54 am The one at bottom right is French, a 1 sol by the size of it. I can't quite make out the mintmark, below the shield and upside-down with respect tot the rest of the reverse legend (which should say "FRANCIAE ET NAVARRE REX). In better condition it would look something like this coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
