Its a great idea but it would take me too long at the moment to list them plus condition - I like British coins and have three or four as far back as King John and Edward III.
All good, If you have a specific coin you want looked up just let me know although these days you can always just ask google. Iām a British coin fancier myself, If you want a good read I highly recommend the ESC (English Silver Coinage from 1649) Just packed full of circulation, proof & pattern coins you may have never heard about.
Quick local hunt tonight. The silver swastika badge thing is pretty cool, made in Birmingham! & maybe service number on the back? Seems weird!

Silver registration number I think - at least I see similar numbers on the silver stuff I have seen. Its a bloody cracker - I love it and the fact that it is orientated with the corners up in relationship to the pin makes me think it is a Nazi Swastika rather than a Good luck one despite being British I think.
What ever its origins it is one of the bestest things I have seen yet.
So a swastika standing on its point is German, I didnāt know that cheers. I think itās strange that it was made in Englandā¦ok Iāve sussed the date letter as 1911 so kinda explains why it was made in Englandā¦WW1 hadnāt started
The Swastika idea is interestingā¦hmmā¦the Germans had not adopted it in 1911. I have a garden spade here which is pre war and nearly new condition and it has āSkeltonā āKia Oraā and a Swastika so thatās weird as well.
Nice little haul there soilsurfer, swastika is a very interesting piece.
The swastika simble was like a 4 leaf clover and concidered a lucky charm about the time it was madeā¦ According to www
On a bit of a detectorthon at the moā¦ Hereās the first days result.
Then tonight which was a little slow.
Letās see what tomorrow brings!!
