1944 newfie penny. I have read some contriversy about this coin. Some say rare and some say not. I don't know but it's rare for me because I found it in south Alabama.

Looks like a pretty common cent in the books. Don't know why anyone would think it was rare. I agree on the Alabama part though!

That maundy is super cool

The coin has been holed, and "reholed" (probably worn as a pendant) and finaly bent and used as trading silver on a viking trading place in Denmark, that I have been so lucky to discover.
Cool coin but the holes looked drilled, I would say they were done much later

I am absolutely sure, they were made in the Viking age. The place is completely untouched and many of the found Dirhems have these holes.
They were capable of drilling holes in the Viking age, you know !

They look very round to me usually the holes were made with a dagger point, like mine above
