[QUOTE="NyMike, post: 10095, member: 1022"]Well, I just typed out an incredibly long, detailed description of this coin I found in my house....and for whatever reason, when I hit the submit button, the website told me I wasn't logged in, and the entire thing was erased. So here's my shortended version..... I have this coin. I know nothing about coins, and am hoping you can help tell me something about it. It's copper or bronze....I don't know the difference. On one side, there's a guy's head, looking to my right hand side. Around his head, along the edge, it says, "John Wilkinson Iron Master", from left to right, going clockwise. On the other side, there's another guy. This guy's whole body is there. He's wearing a toga looking outfit, sitting down (also facing right), hammering something. In the background in the bottom right side, you can kind of see the sails of a boat. He kind of looks like a greek God or something, with the toga outfit, long hair and a beard. Above him, it says "Half Penny". Below him, it says "1790". I'm not expecting it to be worth much, I just found it in my house, and am interested in where it came from and junk...thanks.[/QUOTE]
