Hi all, found this when detecting. It is ~2cm diameter, ~1mm thickness and weighs 2.4 grams. I assume its copper or bronze, but could be a different metal.

It was found in the UK near Manchester if that helps.

One side has a smaller ring design in the centre (~1cm diameter), possibly text inbetween around it and possibly looks in parts like it had an outer rim. The other side is mostly blank, some raised parts, and reflective/bare metal.

What I'm unsure of and hoping to get a response for, is this a coin\jetton? Or is this a Button? After researching, the closest comparable coins would be either a Scottish turner/bawbee(maybe confusing them as the same

Hi all, I found this amongst a banknote album I purchased.

I was curious about it, knowing little about stamps.

When were these printed and used? Obviously early to late victorian, but what date range? What does the L and O mean on the corners? I heard something about printing position but wanted to check. Also what is the difference between the different penny coloured stamps?

Just for my own curiosity really.

And finally, not that I will sell it, but is it a valuable stamp? Just incase its a valuable one, I'd want to keep it separate/safer from my other/inherited old stamps etc

Thanks.

I posted previously but it was still dirty, I cleaned it with more water and took new photos.

The object I'm unsure of. To my untrained eyes, it looks almost like a hammered copper coin (to which I'm unaware they existed). Especially with how thin it is and the centre smaller circle motif. In the light it looks like it has a faded rim/edge similar to earlier worn silver hammered, and possibly illegible markings/letters?, or could be random marks left from corrosion. It is 19mm diameter and weighs 2.4g (obviously corroded).

I just wanted to check with other people before disregarding it. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated, I'm more of a novice collector with coins.

I was thinking it can't be a victorian farthing/modern penny, as surely it'd be a flat/smooth disc both s

Hi all, i found two coin like objects, pretty sure one is a half penny, maybe george 1-3 or that era with a weight of 5.9g and slightly larger than victorian+ half pennies. This one isn't an issue. .

What notes do you like and collect for your collection? Do you go for the look of the note? Condition? Or the novelty/history behind it? Just interested to hear from other collectors.
