BaconDouble New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 11/08/2021 4:26 pm Hello, I have had this coin for the past 40 years or so and have never been able to figure out what it is. There are a few very faint numbers/letters. It has a patina and looks like copper? underneath. I took pictures under different lighting (same coin) Does anyone have an idea of what coin this is? Thanks for much for any leads or help. approx 17.5 grams weight 33.8mm across 2.7mm thickness Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21609 Posts	Posted 11/08/2021 5:41 pm to the CCF erafgel nailed it. A George III penny. Can't make out the date but they were only issued for three years, 1806, 1807 & 1808 Report this Post to the Staff
PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 11/09/2021 04:25 am As JimmyD and others have said, George III penny. It will be 1806 or 1807. Technically 1808 is possible but as it is listed as "unique" in the book, I think it unlikely! Report this Post to the Staff
