<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 9577366, member: 111"]Do hope Phil (silvermakersmarks) checks in, but while the marks are a bit fuzzy to these old eyes, and can't make out the mark or marks on the right, which look like there might be an overstrike or double-struck (again, old eyes here), but I'm seeing some issues. While the crown would be an English gold mark (if Sheffield would also have a rose), the 'C18' is not one I'd expect to see if English, also 'J' is an uncommon English date letter and to the best of my knowledge, Sheffield didn't assay gold until the early 20th century, and I can't seem to see a maker's mark. Will say I've seen similar marks on Maltese gold...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
