    I found this today metal detecting. Do you think it is it a counterstamped copper or coin weight? I have seen similar counterstamps and coins weights so I'm not sure. It is very thin and looks to be to same size as a 1700's British Halfpenny though I have not had the chance to compare it to any of the ones I found. Also, the back is completely blank.

    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    Size of a ha'penny but very thin? Sounds like 2 grams to me.
