Welcome back.

It was on this rally was it?

Minted! Dug up in a Midlands field, a £1m 'perfect' US threepenny bit from the time of Pilgrim Fathers | Mail Online

Can you imagine?

Anyway, the cloth seal is one I haven't seen, I wonder why the boat was on there?
It's not that unusual for numbers to be stratched on these, I think it was calculations or the yards of cloth etc..

The rally was at Wyverstone Suffolk.

Cool seal,

 

[jeff of pa]

if it were found here I'd say it was a very Recent production to celebrate something.
but being from England it certainly intrigues me
