    Great Britain Groat .. 1849 Four Pence

    I had quite a dry spell going up here .. too hot and too many bugs in July. I stumbled on this playground today that looks like it hasn't been used in over 20 years. Not too many signals were dug as I'm sure it has been pounded over the years. But apparently they missed this little beauty. It is holed for a necklace and I'm sure that there is no other way it would have ended up here otherwise. Almost all of the clad pictured came from another site ... enjoy !

    That is a very cool coin for sure... even cooler to wonder who wore her for so long and why. Congrats!

    I don't know how I missed this post. Anyway, that's great that you found that in the U.S . I'm used to seeing KG Coppers and Reales so that must of been a surprise for you. |

    By the way, I found a Great site about Coins from the UK.
