Willyard James New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 7:09 pm Hello, My grandfather gave me this coin, it's in very bad shape. I don't know the time period or the location in which it originated from. Anyone recognize it? Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 7:27 pm It's a British copper coin from reign of George III. It could be a farthing or halfpenny dated 1799, 1805, 1806 or a penny dated 1806 or 1807. Diameter in mm and weight in g would help to narrow it down.
