#5641031 - 04/30/12 04:31 PM Interesting idea from another forum
dooly dooly I was posting here when you were in diapers. Registered: 02/23/07 Posts: 3471 Loc: Northumberland UK	Do you remember this strange coin i got in the lot of coins with the 1806 proof halfpenny and the double stamped 1772 halfpenny well it has been said that it could hold a gold coin .. i poopood it at first but i have just done a few sums and i was wondering what you thaught the "coin" is 21.01g a actual 1806 farthing should be 4.7g-4.8g .. so if there are two together it should be 9.4g-9.6g .. so there is 11.6g more than 2 coins together in fact there should be almost 4 1/2 farhings in it ? a 1806 farthing should be 22mm wide and 2mm thick .. this coin is 25mm at its widest and about 6mm thick ( only 3 farthings thick) .. ie: 14.1g leaving 6.9g which dose not work out ! So what could there be in the middle ? a sovereign of 1817 Closet date is 22 mm and 8g (do not know how thick) a half sovereign of 1817 is 19mm and 4g (do not know how thick) A half Guinea of 1806 is 20-21mm and 4.2g And not very thick about 2mm a 3rd Guinea of 1806 is 17mm and 2.8g also not very thick about 1mm So all could fit and if we suppose there are only 2 coins and we take 2g off for the copper edge we are left with 9.6g conclusions: One sov at 8g leaving 1.6g two half sov's leaving 1.6g two half Guineas leaving 1.4g two 3rd Guineas leaving 4.0g I could do with the true thickness of the above coins and i may help pin it down further please discuss my mathematics as it is not my strongest subject _________________________ http://Support-the-Collectors-Society.com/sch/alnwickandamblepestcontrol/m.html?item=320862010779&sspagename=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649&_trksid=p4340.l2562 STUFF FOR SALE ON EBAY >> POP IN AND SEE ME $\:\)$ There is no such thing as a lucky person only a person who looks !

Was this something known to be done in that period? _________________________ Ray Fairly inexperienced numismatist with a love for coins that others cast away.

I personally think the unknown nature of the interior is the most valuable part of this "coin" (an afterthought ... someone could have just made the thing as a small and unique paperweight) Edited by CyberspaceVoid (05/01/12 10:46 AM) Edit Reason: afterthought

Sounds like an x-ray would be the best option. _________________________ Are you up for the Challenge? Join me at http://www.ChallengeAccepted.us.

Registered: 02/22/05 Posts: 1573 Loc: New York, New York	Originally Posted By: KK4FPK It almost looks like it could be a man's wedding band with two coins attached. Sounds like an x-ray would be the best option. I was thinking the same exact thing. Either: 1) Take it to your dentist for an X-Ray (nitrous oxide optional) or 2) Take it to a good jeweler to be split in half like a clam. Me, I would do #1 then #2. But I'm quite predictable. _________________________
