amassey08873 Pillar of the Community United States 584 Posts	Posted 09/11/2011 11:00 pm Well its not in the best shape, but still somewhat readable, I'm hoping Its really that old, it'd be pretty cool. Any ideas on what this might be? Edited by amassey08873 09/12/2011 12:17 am Report this Post to the Staff

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 12:07 am Not exactly a classic USA coin but looks OLD! for sure, just think it would get the best attention by those who specialize in this era of coins...Perhaps a Moderator can replace this so you can get the best advice....

Saruma Pillar of the Community United States 968 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 01:03 am It wouldn't be either of those dates. That is king George II of England. He was king from 1727-1760, so it would have to fall between dates. Report this Post to the Staff
amassey08873 Pillar of the Community United States 584 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 08:12 am Thank You, I believe its a 1734, when I held it upside down it seem to show a 3, And you can just make out the center line and the outer bottom tip, in the above pic, I got it medal detecting in PA.

Saruma Pillar of the Community United States 968 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 12:50 pm Nice find! I'm a metal detectorist myself. In in California though, so it is hard to find anything older than the late 1800s. So finding anything that old would be a dream! Report this Post to the Staff

cperry8483 Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 09/16/2011 05:52 am Judging from the shape of the neck armor and length of the hair ribbon, I'd say you have a "young head" Halfpenny from between 1727 and 1739. This site has more pictures of English coinage from that era. http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/pics/g2/ Report this Post to the Staff
