NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17947 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 6:44 pm From the photos. I'd say it's a George III halfpenny rather than a farthing, looking at it against the quarter. The farthing is smaller than a quarter but the halfpenny is between a quarter and a half dollar in size. There are a lot of contemporary forgeries of this issue - this one looks genuine to me, but it's difficult to tell without seeing the coin itself.

MountainSalsa New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 6:57 pm Thanks for the feedback! I just did some research and it does appear to be the George III half penny. Thanks again!! I've had this coin for many years and had no clue as to the origin. Report this Post to the Staff
MountainSalsa New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 7:11 pm Thanks Fuzzy on the orientation. This coin I have seems to be a little different though. When I turn the coin over to the lady on the back, she actually is upside down. I don't know if that is how the were manufactured or if maybe it is a reproduction. Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 7:42 pm I guess I need to add to my pictures: the lines down the center sort of represent a mirror. On a US coin top of one side is closest to bottom of other side. On a UK coin, the tops are joined. Report this Post to the Staff
MountainSalsa New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/14/2013 12:59 am Wow I can't believe I missed that. All this time and I never realized that US coins were orientated this way. Haha thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
