Post by: 150aceboy on February 11, 2014, 09:58:20 PM
Out today for a few hours, shotgun caps galore lol, had a few georgian's , then found a little hammie.

I think its Charles 1st  Half Groat, but the reverse of coin has what i can make out to be a thistle and crown ?

Any info would be much appreciated.

Cheers Paul  ;)
