<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 23864, member: 669&quot;]Susan - congratulations <img src="http://forums.collectors.com/i/expressions/1Applause.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> on spotting the key to identifying this coin - that rounded bottom.</p><p><br /></p><p>When Metalman gives us the diameter, it will be about 23mm, because what we are looking at is KM#646, a copper farthing one-year issue from 1799. It&#039;s the only 18th <b>or</b> 19th Century George III copper with a rounded bottom beneath Brittania.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse legend is the standard &quot;GEORGIUS III DEI GRATIA REX&quot; (using &quot;u&quot;, not &quot;v&quot; in the name this time), with the date centered below the bust.&nbsp; The reverse has a large &quot;BRITTANIA&quot; above and a smaller &quot;FARTHING&quot; below.</p><p><br /></p><p>As worn as it is, once upon a time it might have been either the KM#646a (gilt copper) or 646b (bronzed copper) version, but in its present condition I&#039;d really be amazed if it isn&#039;t just plain copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>Krause says an F is worth $4, so this P-0 is probably worth slightly more than bupkis. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
