I found this coin last year. I'm not sure what coin it is I'm guessing its from the late 1700s to early 1800s.

It appears to be a British George III copper coin, 1806-7 style. Size will determine the denomination: farthings are about 22mm, halfpennies are about 28mm and pennies are about 34mm.

I don't know about colonial coins/tokens, but if it's British it is a copper coin of George III with his last effigy which was minted only dated 1806 and 1807. With the lack of detail it's hard to figure out the denomination. What is the size of it?

Definitely of European origin, most likely British.
