I was just stepping down to your level so you could understand. However, if you respond to this, then I know it is a waste of time, and you need a refresher course in writing.

Everything in my sentence that you criticized for grammar was grammatically correct, though. Language has developed since the stone ages when you were in school...

 

Please step back and take a breath. What time we have left is not enough for such arguments, at least not enough for some of us. Jim

 

What is it with all the arguments and nit picking over a a very worn coin.

Until the OP shows the reverse no one knows.

It could even be a cupro nickel Penny or Half Penny from Jamaica which wore down so bad only showing the bust.

The person who suggested it should be slabbed needs to get another hobby or see a doctor.

 

Another suggestion.
The Halfpenny and the OP`s

 

That seems to be the portrait. What a time for the OP to powder off. We need more information.

 

OP last seen yesterday at 7:12pm
I did ask what the other side looked like.

Hopefully OP will chime back in even after a few pages of fluff stuff.

 

Thank you for the help, everyone. The coin has a diameter of 2 centimeters. I've attached the flip side. It looks to be a Victoria penny.

 

Thanks for the reverse.
Boy the flip side really is ... well .. NOT detailed. lol

 

At 20mm its more likely a Farthing, a Half Penny has diameter of 25mm and a Penny is 34 mm in diameter.
