Where'd ya find it Angela? A shot of the reverse would be nice.......

 

You might do well to post this find in the 'ancients' section, as most of us coin geeks in 'chat' don't indulge in ancients.

 

It isn't ancient, it's a coin of King George III.

 

Old. But hardly ancient.

 

Good Lord, you're right. Must be the scotch. Carry on fellows...........

 

We still want to see the 'burro's bottom.........

 

I think to greenie it may be ancient.

Maybe we should have a new forum: "Recent Ancients"

 

I will take a stab in the dark and guess that it is Britannia, seated with her shield at her side and holding a trident

 

This is a coin of George III (the mad one) and depending on size could be a penny, tuppence or ha'penny. What is the diameter or weight?

 

From what I see I suspect a Virginia halfpenny. It's not a british farthing, or half penny. It has a beaded border not denticals, and the Gearge III penny and Two pence has a completely different bust (frankly so do the farthing and halfpenny)
