You ever see gold corrode like that?

 

Its a corroded Farthing

 

Is this not gold then ,it is dated 1820 something and when I shine light off the coin itsi got shiny gold like look ,but photos don't pick that up

 

A farthing is copper.

 

Dam it your right it's coper ,looks good too

 

I can tell you one thing.

That definitely isn't gold. Gold will never corrode like that.

I strongly suggest that you don't buy a coin that you have no knowledge about. Was the seller advertising that coin as gold? 99% of collectors can tell you just by glancing that your coin is not gold.

It's either a farthing or halfpenny (both of which are copper).

 

Yes ,so it is . thanks anyways

 

How much did you pay for it?

 

It was bought as a bag of metal detector finds,I didn't pay much for it so it's fine.May be wishful thinking on my part
