ccg Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 E. Africa bronze and Ethiopian silver should have some okay value. The British penny or halfpenny (George V) would be of little value even if not defaced on one side, and the Spanish 1870 copper is also quite common. <$1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartwheel Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 the george V coin looks like it has been etched with a masonic symbol at some time,the ethiopean coin looks like a 1 birr. with the bust of emporer menalek on the obverse.

TreasureBox Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Many thanks! Cant seem to find reference to the George V "masonic" coin anywhere on the net - my vision already questionable after viewing hundreds of galleries for possibles and then being distracted by the whoopi frenzi of " i think i may have that coin too" ......or....perhaps not...

andyg Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 What are the dimensions for the Ethiopian coin? I think it is a gersh, rather than a birr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreasureBox Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Diameter 1.5cm. I think it may well be a Gersh - havent looked up dates however found similar measurements on the net. Also found a bronze - cant see mint mark - took pic with phone cam (poor image) but will be back later with scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
