tracyaw Valued Member United Kingdom 127 Posts	Posted 08/17/2013 3:37 pm Because this is badly corroded I am having difficulty identifing it. I am guessing it is one of the King Georges and maybe colonial, bust still can't pin it down. The back has what seems to be a crown sat on something with a figure bending out from it. Any help most appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

tracyaw Valued Member United Kingdom 127 Posts	Posted 08/17/2013 4:50 pm Thanks :) I think it is a penny as it is rather large, bigger than a pre decimal penny. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18050 Posts	Posted 08/17/2013 5:08 pm Sounds like a penny. The halfpenny is roughly the same size as a UK pre-decimal penny. My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
