tiny british coin?

[dfx willy]

hi all went hunting with my buddy rob today and he took me to a park by the water. wasnt finding nothing but clad when i came across a old tree with huge narley roots and i though to myself sometimes those roots push up coins . well i got a signal a dime reading 4 inches. so i dug it and when i first got to it i thought for sure it was a half dime because of the tiny size and then i started genty cleaning it and relized its british but i cant see a date or a denomonation. still pretty cool though. i know its old ya can just tell. i guess the slump is over. thanx rob!!!! hold on is that a love token is the back supposed to be like that. willy

The period that most interests charm collectors is the late Victorian era. From about the 1880s the small silver sixpences and three pence coins started to be engraved with names and initials. willy
