Title: Coin ID
Post by: jaydogg on December 13, 2013, 08:02:42 PM
Hi Pete

I know how much you like a challenge so see what you can make of this penny I 'hoiked' out recently. There is a star to the left of the bust and another one on the obverse side right after the legend says 'TAS'.  Any ideas? Cheerz.

Nice find.

I have to disagree with the above sorry - it's a Henry V Durham penny, Spink 1782, like this:

I believe it's Polish for "quickly snatched from it's ancient resting place" ;)
