I know it's George II, but what denomination is it? My first inclination is to say sixpence or shilling.

Am i right?

    It's borrowed, so I'm not sure. I think it's a shilling belonging to CosmicDebris. image

    I just bought a digital camera and I'm in the process of learning how to image coins. I've got a few candidates for a new avatar as soon as I get good enough. image

    Methinks it was one of Python's shillings.

    I know Python used that icon and I am trying to remember if it was his or borrowed.

    Knowing him, I'm sure the coin was his. (Or still is).

    Yes, it's my shilling. It's just a common 58 but I like the color.image

    I like it, too. Mystery solved.

    Thanks for letting me borrow it. image

    Python... I think I may have asked you once if it was a 1750... it truly is a beauty.
