Very cool finds!!! I've never seen a coin from Iceland posted. I wonder what metal that is?
Congrats on the V and silver coins!
That is a cool coin! The fact that it is pre-independance makes it even cooler.
Nice batch of coins and relics Tony. WD
Very cool bunch of finds! It's too bad about the Iceland coin, looks like it lost a battle with the lawn mower. I'm really intrigued about that old Pontiac key. Guessing late 40s to early 50s? They used the Pontiac Chief logo on a lot of their old keys, but this is a variation I could only find on one other example and it was undated.
Is it Pontiac? I was thinking it was to a Mercury.Quote:

Thank you Tony, I stand corrected! That is indeed a Mercury key, this style being used 1961-65. The one I saw during an image search came up as Pontiac, so was also mislabeled and explains why I couldn't easily find any others. I was also off base because it isn't the typical double sided Ford/Lincoln/Mercury key they used after this style.Quote:
