1743 King George II Half Pence

[Eastender]

Today I found my tenth-ever King George II Half Pence. As I like to say: there weren't many colonists, they didn't have much to lose, and probably didn't lose much. Small change was in chronic shortage during the 1700s. So when I find one with a readable date I feel both accomplishment and relief as I dedicate much of my free time looking for colonial coins.

I, too, really like those early coppers and have found lots of them. This one of yours is in very nice condition compared to most of the ones I have found.
