1807 King George III

I've been looking for a low-price, nice quality King George III coin for a while. The dealer bought this ten minutes before I got there and he flipped it to me. It has (what I think) is a very old patina or maybe an old cleaning. It's almost a dark chocolate color.

So what did a coin like that cost ya?

 

Nice old classic English copper Barry. A great pickup for your collection. Congratulations!

Farthing, half penny, or penny? (all have the same design)

It was probably very reasonable.

 

It was part of a bulk buy. So divided evenly it would be around $5. It's a farthing.

Here are some more accurate pics of the color of the coin:

 

What is it's retail value?

 

Nice coin

I used Microsoft Office Picture Manager to correct the color of the background (to white). Does this look more like the true color of your coin? Nice coin.

I think I have a farthing photo I can post.

 

Here is a George III photo I previously posted at CT.

 

Yep, you nailed the color.
Your coin has nicer detail on the reverse. Nice!

 

Depends. It can range from a couple of bucks to $30 depending on who's asking. I was comfortable with $5.
