Title: Crown or halfcrown??? Post by: Chef Geoff on March 24, 2011, 11:14:30 PM Peter this is a closer pic of the "thing" I found today, it is the same size as a Charles I Halfcrown and his later Crowns. The other side has some letters remaining but too faint to photograph. I do seem to be having a run on counterfeit coins recently and am wondering if this is another?
I'm not sure if your sorcery stretches this far ;D (http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv294/Chef_02/thurs240311006.jpg) Title: Re: Crown or halfcrown???
