A Georgian brass coin weight which has been pierced, presumably for suspension. Otherwise lightly worn and well detailed. Weight 122.0 grains.

Listed in Withers, British Coin-Weights as W.2251a. I would grade this piece Very Fine (Sheldon AU50 details) but I have provided high-resolution close up photos so you can decide on a grade for yourself.
For uncertified coins I provide a grading opinion using both the UK descriptive system and the Sheldon scale (based on ANA Grading Standards and/or PCGS Photograde) which will be better known to my US customers. I offer a grading opinion as a courtesy, but please examine the high resolution close up photos carefully and decide on a grade for yourself.
