Title: 2 rings and a silver 'button' coin Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on August 20, 2015, 05:33:32 PM Guys these came up last two outings and I'd be grateful for you suggestions on the button and rough age of the rings. The rings are both copper/bronze alloy and the button is Solid silver with a hoop crudely soldered onto the back. There is an 'S' stamped on the back. It really does look like a coin made into a button and would be William 6d size.
EDIT Oh and the key, would be great to have an age for thanks Title: Re: 2 rings and a silver 'button' coin Post by: Chef Geoff on August 20, 2015, 07:41:56 PM Well done Taff I'd say both rings were 19th century and once gilded the button is an odd one as it seems like a lot of work to go too, rubbing down and bevelling the edge but I guess it would be a lot cheaper than buying silver buttons and my guess would be late 18th.
Now the key is a different story.....a classic shaped medieval casket key 12th to 15th century ;) Title: Re: 2 rings and a silver 'button' coin Post by: DEADLOCK on August 20, 2015, 07:52:44 PM i got a similar key aswell taffman please no puns guys
