Popped out for 2hrs,to a farm 2 miles from me.
2nd time there,2 coins(halfpennies)on first visit.
These 2 coins today!
Thinking of changing my lucky number to 2  Grin
First coin is a very unusual 1833 Quarter Anna(British/indian).if anyone can enlighten me on this,thanks.
Second is a 1916 Silver thrupence,minted during WW1,does this make it Rare?
