Very nice bunch of silvers! Congrats on the Franklin half. I haven't seen an old Ceylon coin since my early coin collecting days in the 70s. Well done!

Terrific finds! I've been detecting on and off for 40+ years and I still haven't found a Franklin half!

That Ceylon 2 cent piece is really cool too!

:congrats:

Nice find with that franklin and the rest of the silvers. It was a tad hard to pinpoint where that coin was from. Looks a lot like a coin from the Bahamas I have, but I think it was the Bombay mint making it from India.

My Nephew said that coin is from Sri Lanka???? It make you wonder how coins end up where they do!
