Picked this up a few weeks ago from a well known auction site for the princely sum of £12. George II shilling 1745 minted LIMA and George III shilling 1787. Someone was obviously keen on the Georges!

Nice brooch, but I do feel a tad sorry for the shillings! On the plus side the pin on the back has tested as rose gold.

Cheers
Neil

There comes a time in every rightly constructed boys life when he has a raging urge to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.

If anyone wants to sell any S c r a p gold or sovereigns, regardless of condition -  ask me for a price first please.
