  • Some days are better than others.

    Wednesday and Thursday were as close to being identical in the clad division as you can get.
    Wednesdays only unusual find for the whole day was the Isle of Man coin. Click image for larger version

    And the slick coin at the bottom is the most worn wheat penny I have ever seen. Click image for larger version

ID:	191346 Wednesday had exactly zero keepers so I was glad that Thursday was not a bust too.
    First keeper of the day was another Chinese cash coin. Click image for larger version

ID:	191354 And unless I miss my guess it is, at least in part, an Ordinary Firearms License.
    This back of this license pulls out so you can insert the paperwork that came with this license inside.

    This is a Quote from another forum.
    This is the case for an Ordinary Firearms Licence (spelled with the "c" instead of the "s").
    It allowed the holder to carry firearms and hunt deer and small game.
    A GFL (General Firearms Licence) allowed the holder to hunt all game.
    The Special Firearms Licence allowed hunting all game and trapping.
    In 1913, the first year of resident licences, there was also an FFL (Free Firearms Licence) for farmers and prospectors.
    In 1914 the FFL became the Farmer's Firearm's Licence, and a separate Prospector's licence (PFL) was available.
    Until 1919 these licences were a separate tag and paper licence. No "badges" were used from 1920 to 1926.

      Nice coins. The "Meat Grinder" coin looks like a "Pac Man"
