trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 03:34 am I got this in a metal detector lot. It has been 6 months in olive oil (it was covered in god knows what). I can make out the busts of William and Mary easily. The date eludes me looks like 168?. Any ideas? Identified - moved to British Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16859 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 04:58 am For William-and-Mary coppers, you've really only got two options: a halfpenny (about 29mm) and a farthing (about 23mm). For both denominations the only possible date for solid copper coins is 1694; all earlier dates for this reign are either solid tin or tin-brass bimetallics. 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
trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 07/05/2011 4:10 pm Thanks Sap. It must be a 1694 halfpenny then. I had it in olive oil for about 6 months, it was totally unreadable before. I have put a handful of old roman coins in some oil now. I will have to be patient and wait and see what they are Report this Post to the Staff
