Very nice Joel, and an interesting off-centre strike. I wonder if it was common to get them like that ???

I was told that they used to file them down to get the ilver and this one was a good example as i was told that it looks like its been filed on the one side

Always a nice coin to find. I have one which is very badly shaved at the sides, it happened a lot to milled gold coins as well; the milled version of clipping I guess.

It looked much better 'in the flesh' the photo definately doesn't do it justice.  Well done Joel
