Tom Goodheart Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 856 Posts	Posted 04/05/2014 06:23 am The William III looks like a British halfpenny to me. 28 mm in diameter. I can't make out the date from the photo but they were only issued in 1831, 1834 and 1837. George III (1806) probably a farthing (22 mm) which is a quarter of a penny. Struck in copper and not rare, both appear to be 'well circulated' so more interesting historically than value-wise I'm afraid. The copper coins were replaced by bronze ones in 1860. This site describes British coinage generally. You might find it interesting. http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/pics/halfp.html The halfpenny? Rather pitted by the looks of it. Couple of dollars maybe? The farthing is a little better, but commoner, so again you might get a couple of dollars for it. But I'd be inclined to keep them as talking pieces!

At that time, only pennies and smaller denominations were copper. All others were silver. Then it's down to the size of the coin I'm afraid since the actual designs are very similar and they didn't see fit to put the value on the actual coin! Report this Post to the Staff
