A mate of mine has found a coin with 1700 ( i cant remember exact date) but 17XX something on it. it was pushed in the mortar of a building he is taking down.

He has been told not to clean it yet, any one on this far reaching forum got any leads or reccomend a good place to get it checked out?

It has HH stamped on it too.

Over to the collective

A good place to start is the finds officer (or whatever he/she is called) in your local museum...

They look like silver three pence's (d's) I have a hoard of them collected by my father they are worth what 50% silver content they are as scrap. If I am correct! Wish the image was better.

Just had this from him....It has George 111 d Rex on the heads and on the tails it's the Britannia with 179?

Got some more pictures but they are no better than the ones I took.

Had a look on ebay all the George III coins are round even the valuable ones, yours are hexagonal ish. You need an expert.

see:eBay item number:

121349209762

I now wonder if it is one of these but with damaged edges.
