Another Lunchtime hunt! Blew the whistle on an old coin :)

[pganjon]

Hello again, Its hard to start mowing again when you hit a hot lunch streak! First, found this Navy Bosemans whistle, looks old, but not sure if its a repro. Brass or copper. Next out popped what I believe is a Toasted 1773 Virginia Half Penny. I can't make anything out on the front, but the crown or shield is definitely there on the back. Thanks for looking Paul

That whistle sure looks like a real deal. Congratulations on some very nice finds!

The whistle is an interesting find. The coin looks like it has enough detail that it should clean up nicely. Congrats

So, you're not going to comment on "Boseman" instead of "Bos'n" (or "Boatswain")?
