Title: My latest acquisitions.
Post by: Triggersmob on April 13, 2010, 10:01:46 PM
Nothing fancy, but I came on here today and there was no new coin topics, so I thought I'd start one.

Nice coins Steve! I just purchased some cool stuff last night at coin club, but don't have the time right now to scan them. Have to be at work soon.   :(  Maybe tomorrow or Friday. Promise.   :)

Nice coins, John.

What's a 4 doubles?
Title: Re: My latest acquisitions.
Post by: Nighthawk on April 17, 2010, 11:44:21 PM
Steve, according to their monetary system from back then, 8 Doubles = 1 Penny in value. So 4 Doubles = a Half Penny, and 2 Doubles must have equaled a Farthing. 1 Double must have been 1/2 Farthing???  ???
