George IV Pennies were only struck in 1825, 1826, and 1827. Farthings were the only British copper struck in 1829, so that's probably what you've got. Report this Post to the Staff
sirdizzy Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 08/18/2014 5:19 pm After closer examination its a 1749 George II half pence its pretty worn so it took me a moment to identify. I was thinking it was George IV because of the britannia reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

sirdizzy Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 08/18/2014 6:57 pm Oh I didn't buy it because I thought it'd be worth anything just thought it was cool and it gave me something from George II. Report this Post to the Staff
sirdizzy Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 08/19/2014 12:15 pm I also got a 1793 Louis XVI French penny that is in worse condition than the George II, I just love old coins even if they have been in the ground for a long time. And at 20 cents its fun to own them. Sadly I have now gone through all their foreign coins no more silver scores. Report this Post to the Staff
augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1063 Posts	Posted 08/19/2014 2:43 pm I found silver too. Was looking through a shilling and florin bin, all 50p and nothing silver, and found an Aussie 6 pence coin from the 50s. Probably worth what I paid for it too. Report this Post to the Staff
