Old British SILVER from the beach !!??

[Mississippi Yankee]

Drove an hour 1/2 last night to get to the beaches in Biloxi to sweat a little with the magic wand.

Not much found EXCEPT a 1915 Half Crown ( .925 Silver !! ) from Great Britain !!

What it was doing there I don't know, but it ain't there no mo !!

Guess i will have to learn more about Biloxi's history.

An old French coin I would believe, being close the New Orleans.
Had NO IDEA they had British "tourists" THAT long ago.

Hey, don't argue with or question the silver gods. When they give it up, just enjoy it. Great find...Congrats...Lance

Very nice coin, great find. According to the Blackbook of world coins, in Fine condition it's worth about five dollars,but to a coin collector, or anyone else that find's something like that, it's priceless. WTG!!

The British were all over this country as were the Spanish. We have probably only scratched the surface on artifacts in this country.

Neat coin. It's different and it's not a coin you may find again. Any silver is good silver.
