Found this in one of my storage boxes and was wondering the possibilities of this old Copper circulating in the colonies. Yes,photos poor but would appreciate any feedback. Thks
People find these on the East coast quite often metal detecting, just not in such good shape It's a King George III penny, I believe, not in bad shape. Before (and after) the US mint got up and running, English and Spanish coins ruled the day, along with some State coppers Edit: or Half Penny, heh.
It is a King George III Nice find. A lot of YouTube metal detecting shows find these a lot. Yours is in ok condition. I have seen many in worse condition buried in dirt for many years! By the way.. Welcome to CoinTalk
Dunno. I thought you thought this was the GD forum or maybe this should have been in the GD area? At my age I would forget my head if it wasn't attached to my neck.
Sorry but I'm not a Grader nor do I price coins. Yours is common and the condition takes away from value IMHO
Google 1770 King George III coin and you will get some information Here is one website https://www.allnumis.com/coins-catalog/great-britain/george-iii-1760-1820/halfpenny-1770-29133
With no size or weight references it could be a farthing or a half penny, Need size to determine denomination and weight to tell if it is regal or a contemporary counterfeit. It could have circulated in the colonies, or it may have stayed home in Great Britain.
