Coin weight?

[Rubka888]

I had a great weekend with some great finds! I got a large unidentifiable copper, Eleven buttons, 1842 large cent, 2 1865 2 cent coins-my first ever!- 2 Mercury dimes, tons of other old relics. This field has Rev war vets buried next to it. I have found some early 1700's stuff here before. My last find of one day was this coin weight. I absolutely love it. It has the crown at the top, sword on the right and a symbol at the bottom. Anyone have more info on it?

Excellent find-definitely a nesting scale weight. Not sure but I think the W with the crown over it stands for King William III. The dagger signifies that the weight was made in London. The third symbol is called a "ewer" and it stands for the London Founders Company.

Yes, DownNDirt's ID:
[FONT=&quot]A complete cast copper alloy half-ounce trade weight of post-medieval date. It is circular in shape with a raised rim around the outside edge of the upper face. The centre of the upper face has the crowned letter G at approximately 8 o'clock, the sword of St Paul ( City of London guildhall mark) at 1 o'clock and the ewer at 6 o'clock. The ewer was stamped on approved weights by the London Founders Company between 1590-1826. The crowned letter is the royal cypher - in this case G for George I to IV (Biggs 1992, 50), c. [/FONT]AD[FONT=&quot] 1714-1826.

That was one heck of a hunt, congrats on a great day. I once found two 2 centers in the same day and they were on back to back signals! I'll never do that again, that's for sure.

Its William IV Pan Weight (some say trade), not the III.
