ibzman350

nothing fancy, found three coins in a tin in the bottom of a cardboard box in the back of a garage in P-town Virginia USA.

this guy I think is really neat, I like the ship design.


Anyone care to clue me in as to what I've got ??













the yard sale person said "take them" so the price was right..

The ship is the Dromedaris used by Jan van Riebeck when he founded Capetown in 1652.

P-town as in Portsmouth, Virginia


You folks are good, thank you very much for the info.


I kinda sorta like those "ship" coins. Just what I need, another design I like, like my collecting isn't all over the place now.

Ya, I need another series to collect..
