Mind if I ask what the entire lot set you back? Not counting the Morgan dollar .. I put that in the picture to show size. And there is a 1817 one real soaking in acetone I gave $40.00 for the lot ... I hope I didn't pay to much. |

The E mintmark under Anne's bust stands for Edinburgh mint where "British" coins were minted for a couple of years after the "Union" of England and Scotland had taken place in 1707.

svslav .. I wondered who that was .. William III .. it is a 1697.
None of my books go back that far.
Pretty sure there is a George the IIII (forth) also. (edit in the lot, silver coin touching the Morgan)

algol . Thanks for the information
In hand that 1797 is it a British Large cent looks very cool in hand.
Coppernickeldaddy I was planning in posting close up pictures of the Canada coin in the Canada section,
I just wanted to be sure what all the coins were before
I posted them their countries.

Yes, George IIII (or IV). If you follow my links you'll see the timeline and general info on who the dudes were.

Last one is a conder token - try and read the edge inscription and the town name on the obverse to find out its rarity. They were issued due to a shortage of change.
And I see a lovely cartwheel penny in that lot! You did not pay too much. A lovely selection with some really good condition pieces.

I don't think the 1797 is a penny, I think it is a two pence. If it is it is worth more than the $40 all by itself.
And none of those pieces are Conder tokens.

I would have paid $40 for that lot all day long! Lots of good quality there, and fascinating history.

I don't think the 1797 is a penny, I think it is a two pence. Have to disagree. Compared to the Morgan provided. Morgan is 38.1 mm across, cartwheel penny is slightly smaller, 36 mm. A twopence is visibly larger, 41 mm across, and twice the thickness of a Morgan (2.4 mm for $1 and 5 mm for the 2d). While the cartwheel in the picture is an impressive coin it doesn't measure up to the twopence dimensions. |

On my scale the 1797 weighs 28.4. After a little online search.
I agree with svslav, that it is a penny and not a two pence.
