I finally found an old coin. 65 years older than my previous :) sorry about shit pics but as you can kinda see it's very very worn and beat up (rumor has it it got caught in a brawl between forum members hahaa) but using google and what imagery I can see on the coin, along with some faint end numbers, we were able to acsertain it's 1803 king george 3rd sixpence. again...good shit! That's another one off the bucket list now for that half and full bloody sovereign haha Edited by user Monday, 4 March 2013 11:44:04 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified madsonicboating attached the following image(s):
