Birmingham 1904 Coin Holder?
Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 5:16 pm
Hi,
I was told by a jeweler that this was probably a coin or token holder but every coin holder I found looked slightly different. This one does not have a side cut out to easily slide a coin out, it has to line up in the narrow opening which seems a little difficult to me. Can anyone confirm if it is a coin holder?
Also, I think I have the date of 1904 right. But I can't figure out the maker. Its slightly worn but it appears to be LIE & C or maybe LLE & C. Thanks for any help you can give me. I will try and post a pix of front, back and hallmark.
