Hey there!
I don't really spend much time on this section of the boards, but I do collect from Great Britain. I just really haven't found anything that unusual or fantastic! UNTIL NOW. . . I have found in a lot, if everything turns out to be correct, my oldest coin!
It appears to be a
1699 Farthing

I think that I have it correctly identified, if not, let me know, any input or further info would be appreciated. Thanks COINAHOLIC.

Definately got it correct; it's a William III 1699 Farthing. Very heavily corroded, as they often are, but just about still dateable

Wow! Nice find. You must have very sharp eyes to ID the coin inspite of all the corrosion!
