Hello everyone,

I have purchased this 1770 halfpenny this past weekend, and I am wondering whether it is authentic or not. It weighs 9.57 grams. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Michael

It looks authentic. The weight will be off with all the corrosion. It was a high grade when it went into the soil.

Thank you for the response, do you know what the value might be? I bought it for $5 which led me to think something might be wrong.

UK Coins in this condition are considered non-collectible. $5 is pretty good from an historical perspective.
