Any help ID'ing this one would help. I found it and can't match it up w/any pics I can fine. Thanks again.

Well it looks to be British, I think I can see a seated Brittania? possibly George the III but not sure what value either 1/4d or 1/2d

 

Agreed. What's the diameter?

 

Yup, it's George alright

 

It looks like it could also be a 1773 Virgina Half Penny.

 

1" diameter. You folks have much better eyes than I for sure. Thanks again.

 

I thought it looked like a post colonial Conn.

 

so...it's what date and what type of coin? half penny?

 

I'm still sticking with 177x half penny.

 

Not with Britannia - the reverse would be a crowned shield with four coats of arms, including multiple varieties of the Irish harp.

For George III its too large to be a farthing (1/4d) and too small to be a h'appenny (1/2d), and the right-facing bust, which must be George II or III, definitely looks more like III.

Also too small, by ~7/64th"

And what's your explanation for the size?

 

= embarrassment face

 

So..the final conclusion is not sure or did I miss something?

 

Uh huh.
