    @lordmarcovan yeah, that's what I figure. If I really had to guess at the year it would be 1735 or 1745, you can see in good light and with a magnifying glass the blurred second, third and fourth numbers. Is there any kind of technology that can find the true date?

    That is what I was thinking.... and I am not sure what I typed when the "Goog" told me it was a Franc, I asked the Goog again today and it said Rappen clearly, but thanks for the assist, it is good to learn new things!

    Not that I’m aware of. Shining light on it from various angles may help. But aside from satisfying your understandable curiosity about the date, it’s not gonna make much difference one way or the other in regards to its monetary value.

    Its value in this grade is more as a historical curiosity. British halfpennies of this era were the workhorse of small change in early America before and during the Revolution, which should be of interest if you’re an American. They regularly turn up on colonial sites. While detecting, I dug a 1738 George II halfpenny on one early site here in Georgia. They’re not usually worth a whole lot, but they’re definitely interesting and fun. My dig buddies found quite a few.

    I agree and not looking to make anything and will keep this and some of the other world coins that I found in this collection. But it is soooooooooooo cool to me to have a coin that old. It is older than the 1798 Liberty Large Cent that I have in this collection I inherited.
