Title: silver,but what? Post by: dingdong on March 03, 2015, 04:58:48 PM These two little beauties came up within a foot of each other,the larger of these is completely worn away,whereas the smaller coin does have a faint bust outline on it,many thanks for looking.

Didn't know that coinage of that era were pewter based,well ya live un learn. I didn't explain it well sorry, the coins back then were not pewter based :D I was just trying to say the way its chipped resembles pewter or debased silver, not the quality silver William III coins were struck in ;) Title: Re: silver,but what?
