[goldseeker4000]

This is an Isle of Man Penny - 1758 I found In Montana, northwest part of state yesterday. The words "CUOCUNQUE JECERIS STABIT" means (which ever way you throw it, it will stand). One of only 60,000 struck in 1758 for James Murray, second Duke of Atholl, the new owner of the Island. Obverse: crowned "AD" monogram (Atholl Dux) over the date. Reverse: Triskeles with large caps of armour on the knees: Reasonable collectable condition for type as these are struck on soft copper flans. diameter 29 mm. Weight 10.3g.

Crusader, thanks for the added info on my coin. Isn't it funny how a coin like that can turn up detecting so far from home. I know there were only 60,000 struck. So this is a very rare coin to find then I take it? Do you know anyone else that has found one? I was just thinking the day before I found this coin, "Wouldn't it be cool to find a coin from the early 1800's or 1700's, but I then said to myself that will never happen since I live in Montana". The very next day I find this coin. How ironic!

I don't know of anyone finding one & done a search on a UK database of finds & 0 hits.

Often if you think or say out loud to your hunting partner for a particular find, some amazing things do happen. One of lifes little mysterys
