Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 07/21/2009 1:36 pm G'day, when you put pics here, there is no scale. So, it will greatly assist if you include some dimensions for us: diameter and weight, please. In millimetres and grams would be great. I agree with DagonX. The shape of the bust reminds me of the effigy used in the series of 1806 & 1807. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/21/2009 1:52 pm If it's @35mm it's a Penny, 30mm a half penny, and 25MM a farthing. Report this Post to the Staff
Lewin New Member United Kingdom 6 Posts	Posted 07/21/2009 2:57 pm I don't have scales that are accurate enough, but it's 30mm diameter. Thanks for the help everyone! I have what seems like an identical coin but with far more surface detail, dated 1807. I've attached another pic. Are these worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16863 Posts	Posted 07/23/2009 05:06 am The worn-flat one isn't going to be worth much more than scrap value, especially if there's no trace of the date left. The 1807 is the slightly scarcer date of the two; in this condition, it's probably worth at least a couple of pounds. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
