I believe it's a King George I struct between 1714-1727 . Here's a link to the Instagram post that shows some other photos and a video of me finding it. Love saving history like this. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIMUmKk...um=copy_link Found in the a field I dubbed "French and Indian war field" in western Massachusetts. I was told there was a short battle/burning of houses here back in the 1700s. Pretty crazy. Edited by Jashearer3 05/24/2021 07:42 am Report this Post to the Staff

The first British copper pennies were struck after American independence.
