octobean Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 This Is my second post on here, everyone is so helpful. I found this in a box of grandads as I did with the previous post. Sorry for the photo quality I cant hold my mobile phone still enough, it says Britain A.D MDCCCLX??????. If anyone could help me identify it it would much appreciated Its about 2cm in diameter and blank on the other side. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 It doesn't seem as if a photo was uploaded. If blank on one side it's most likely not a coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octobean Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I've modified the post to include a photograph, my apologies if its not a coin. I should post on the correct section! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

octobean Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Thanks constanius. You are very helpful. I have spoken with my grandad and he seems to think it is a playing piece of some sort, no idea what for though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octobean Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 It is similar to the back of a victorian sovereign I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
