Extract The cross and pellets is frequent, and presumably derives from the coinage of the first three Edwards; as also certain designs which appear to resemble a miller's threshing stone, which may hint at their usage. http://www.tokensociety.org.uk/topics/lead/index.shtml (http://www.tokensociety.org.uk/topics/lead/index.shtml) Title: Re: Today's Finds Post by: glynkid on February 10, 2013, 10:39:53 PM well done on the finds
