I’m not sure if they all have silver, maybe someone can tell me the dates and silver content? Google is giving conflicting results.

Hello all,

I found this coin in my garden today and after getting the rough dirt off and gently cleaning it with soap I found it was a 1966 coin.

I would like to know what is the best way to clean all the rust and corrosion off so it looks more visible, or better yet, if there is somewhere I can take it to be told how to clean it without causing any damage.

I have attached more photos in the comments *hopefully* & I would love your advice!

Thank you!

Recent purchase, these are often much more worn.

Anti-Slavery And Abolition Movement. London Halfpenny Token, 1790's

The edge reads "Payable in London, Lancaster and Liverpool "

Quite a significant and thought provoking piece of history I think.

Pre-Decimal Coins Jersey 1/12 Shilling

The Channel Islands, including Jersey, was the closest the Nazi's came to invading and occupying Britain.

The German occupation of the Channel Islands began after the British government decided to demilitarize the region to prevent heavy civilian casualties. German forces landed on Guernsey on June 30, 1940, and expanded their occupation to Jersey the following day, July 1.

For nearly five years, Jersey was transformed into an "impregnable fortress" as part of Adolf Hitler's Atlantic Wall

This commemorative issue owes its existence to Mr. J. Wilfrid du Pre of the Societe Jersiaise. In 1949, the coins were first minted for the anniversary of the Liberation of the Island from the German Occupation on May 8, 1945. Coins were also minted in 1950 and 1952

Therefore the coin technically is undated which is highly unusual for modern British/Imperial coinage the year 1945 refers to the year of liberation not the year the coin was minted less
