Ninji Digger New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/06/2016 8:28 pm I just measured it to be 35mm across. Something doesn't seem right. Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5186 Posts	Posted 02/08/2016 10:53 am A check of all pre-1950* 32+ mm coppers listed on Numista gave exactly one** possibility - this type (the George IV large Irish penny). I'm not sure that's it; it could be some type that's listed on Numista but not mentioned as copper, or some type that's not on Numista at all. (Or I suppose a post-1950 type, but that's unlikely.) But it certainly looks similar. ) a search not limited by pre-1950 is overwhelmed by modern crown-sized cupronickel *) technically, there's another - the Monaco decime of 1838; but it's not as similar, and much less likely Edited by january1may 02/08/2016 11:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

Ninji Digger New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/09/2016 11:29 pm It seems this one has been flattened out a bit. Maybe a roller. That is why it has a larger diameter and thinner than usual. I did find it right beside an old paved road. Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff
