  From Numista: The first base metal regal pennies to circulate in Britain, these pieces were produced by Matthew Bouton using a steam powered press at the Soho mint in Birmingham in 1797.
From 1770 until the end of the 18th century the practice of melting down the official copper coins and making lightweight forgeries had become so widespread that it prompted industrialist Matthew Boulton to offer a potential solution. He proposed that each coin should actually be made to contain its value in copper (one ounce avoirdupois), that the quality should be improved by using a retaining collar during striking (to give a perfectly round coin) and by designing the coins with thick raised borders to prevent them wearing so easily.
This type was struck in copper by Boulton for several years after 1797 with no change in date, along with some later strikes in a variety of metals. Further restrikes were produced by W.J. Taylor when he bought the dies in 1848; the chief way these later issues can be distinguished is by marks resulting from die corrosion. |

I have been looking all morning for this coin on numista. I think it may be misattributed by PCGS.
So I will roll with what I think it is according to numistia.
I have a coin

Nice example.  That's one type I would like to add to the collection eventually.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
