400 Year Old Pocket Spill? Cleaned after Two Years: IDs Needed!

[coinman123]

I found this pocket spill in a mid 1600's town in MA, back in 2015. After cleaning them I can see a design. One has a large crown with letters around it, maybe an early 1600's English Charles Copper? The thin weird shaped coin is cruder looking, with a large amount of letters on the edge. A braided line towards the middle with some large letters around it, and a tiny, fairly clear "55" on the edge, it could be my eyes playing tricks on me though. I also see an "SR" and other letters on the edge. Also is something looking like a crude wreath with some words in it. I really hope that it is 1500's!



The photos of the thin misshapen coin are very bad and don't show that much detail, the crown on the other coin also shows up much nicer if water is put on it. The third coin is pretty much worn smooth.

There looks to be a date under the crown, either 15?5 or 16?5.

Wow. Toasty. Not much to go on... I'm not convinced those marks are a date. Either they look much better in person or your imagination is really good. :-)


Charles I farthing?


Anthing visible on the other side?

Pretty sure they are not British.

Might be Spanish?? But although I see what looks like a Crown, there is just not enough details to be sure what they are.

Thanks Crusader! It is kind of painful when looking at them, knowing if just a few more details were there than I could get an ID. Right now it is pretty much blank. Could it be an old token or jeton perhaps? Also, When would this coin likely be from?

Thanks!

Numista has a search function for inscriptions, this is one for coins containing SR: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/in...&f=&g=&c=&tb=y&tc=y&tn=y&tp=y&tt=y&te=y&cat=y

Maybe you can find your coin there.

Its NOT any type of Jetton, & very unlikely to be a token.

The one with the crown, what's the other side look like, smooth or is there any details? Pic?

I was gonna say that the one with the notch was clipped but I've only seen that on silver.

Whatever they are I'm sure they're older than that Merc I just found... Amazing finds...
