echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 07/27/2009 12:37 pm Please post images of both sides of the coin. Depending on the size it could be a halfpenny or farthing, if you could measure it that would help. Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 07/27/2009 2:28 pm G'day, when posting pics, the viewer has no scale. So, it assists if you give us a clue, such as a diameter ... This'll be a halfpenny. The 1799 farthing looks very similar, but has the date on the obverse; and was denominated. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
