1753 British Rex Penny

It won't be a farthing as none were minted in 1753.

Aaaarggh! [shudders]

How about some pics? Include weight and diameter.Then we can fully ID your coin and possibly value it.

If you cannot post pics, list the inscriptions, and which way does the king look?

I didn't plan on doing any harm to the coin by soldering it. I have necklaces that allow the coin to lock in place inside of a ring or a 4 clasp hold. I'll try to get pics up soon.

Here is a description. The King faces left and on the left side of the king on the front of the coin is the inscription GEORGIVS above his head are two lines and on the kings right is the inscription REX. On the obverse is what appears to be a lady centaur holding a staff. On the ladies left is the inscription BRITAN. On the ladies right is the inscription NIA. Below the lady on the bottom the date reads 1753.

The coin inscriptions are still very readable and the images on the front and the obverse are still very sharp. It is about the size of a quarter.

So it's worth about a 100$ maybe a little more, maybe a little less. Even if I got that, I wouldn't even have half the money to buy a sovereign. I might as well hold on to it.

I must say that your countries currency is quite beautiful hence the sovereign being my unicorn. That is to say the coin I would like to find the most. How common were sovereigns in the early wars and up? Do I have any chance of finding one? Is there anything you can tell me from the British side of the story concerning the early wars that may be helpful. The road I live on is named after one of the most Famous British Generals and there was an old road that ran through here. I actually live in between two strategic locations the hill above me being a British battery.

Yes, the coins were lovely, I'm not an advocate of the shield series, but I cant wait for the next monarch to sort it out. Finally another bust in circulation...

And Britannia, a centaur? Dont say that to a monarchist!

I would love a picture of it, it is a half pence. Take note as to how deeply struck it is, I know the 1799 ha'penny was struck very deep, so ol Brit's *ahem* you know whats, tended to wear quicker than the rest of the coin, causing some embarrassing highlights. If the coin is in good condition, take note of how George is trying to be as roman as possible.

I meant no disrespect to Britannia. I was simply doing my best to describe what I saw. I am not British and was not familiar with Britannia although I have seen her image on other British coins before. It's depressing to think that there may not be a lost sovereign around because I really was hoping to find one. I'm not giving up yet although I'll have to try to forget about the aforementioned odds of finding one if I am to keep my hopes up. Wish me luck.

I should be able to upload a picture of it soon. It's ironic that it was said that losing a sovereign would of been like losing a 100 pound note as this coin is probably worth about that now.

I guess that is a 1753 George 11 halfpenny, which if it is, would weigh 10 grammes, and have a diameter of around 29mm.

These things can be rather pricey in superior grades.

'Coincraft' 1998 lists them:
F 8 Pounds,
VF 30 pounds,
EF 120 Pounds.

Mine is in a little better condition then the one you posted a link to. The pics came out blurry last night but I will retake them. I thought it would be worth more because of the date but I guess that goes to show you that just because something is old doesn't mean it's worth money.
