Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 09/24/2010 2:56 pm If it's lead, it won't be an ancient coin. It could be a medieval token, a pilgrim's badge (though most are a lot bigger). More likely to be the seal off a sack or a bottle, possibly a flattened musket ball, or just a bit of lead. Are there no recognisable markings, such as letters or objects at all ? Report this Post to the Staff
dazzer71 New Member United Kingdom 35 Posts	Posted 09/28/2010 11:58 am no nothing like that,i guess it must just be a lump of lead lol.but to hold it in your hand it is more like a coin.there is a lot more relief on it than you can see in the pic. Report this Post to the Staff
