Post by: DEADLOCK on January 02, 2012, 03:55:09 PM Managed to get out today with silky on one of his farms even thou a little quiet for both of us lots of buttons and coins for silky, I managed to find this any id would be great, We thinking maybe a token made of lead but silky said maybe bit big for one.

Title: Re: Maybe a token who knows! Post by: DEADLOCK on January 03, 2012, 04:49:03 PM This is the response off David powell mernick lead tokens.
At that diameter, probably c.1800-20ish; it is somewhere near a cartwheel penny in size, so probably near it in date as well. The design is a pleasingly interesting elaboration of the basic petal design, and that too is consistent with the later 18th cent {at least}; however, most such elaborations are halfpenny rather than penny size. I am about to write a few articles on 18th cent crude lead evolution for LTT, and this theme is one which I intend to cover. Thanks for showing; it is a nice piece. May I please put it in LTT if I want to? Happy to acknowledge or leave anonymous as you prefer. |
