Title: Odd cut george Post by: jonnietaz1995 on March 10, 2014, 08:53:55 PM Evening all, just finished cleaning these two, the button was caked in crud, lots of time to clean, it says labor omnia vincit, the George v half penny is the odd one, looks like it has been cut, and bent to make a type of fan shape, just wondering has anybody come across, or know what it would have been used for, cheers.

Well cleaned button, nice find. Val |
