<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 3195412, member: 40017&quot;]What you have is a British Halfpenny with the bust of George III. Difficult to be certain whether this one is a genuine (Regal) coin made by the Royal Mint in London; a contemporary counterfeit made illegally in the UK; or a colonial counterfeit made later in the US. An accurate weight and diameter would help. Both Regal and counterfeit coins circulated widely in the colonies.</p><p>My guess is a counterfeit - the portrait doesn&#039;t look quite right to me - but that doesn&#039;t really affect the value hugely as both regal and counterfeit coins are collected.</p><p>Here in the UK such an example would only make a few pounds. It might make more in the US because of the colonial history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
