A couple old coppers.

[Brian C.]

These two old coppers came from the same site as the trade silver pendant. I found them a couple of years back, I am not sure if the first one is George the first, it is hard to make it out. The figure on the coin is there, I can make it out to some degree. The other is another interesting copper, the back is hard to make out,but I found the coin on the web. There is a harp with a crown and a figure of a lady on the edge of the harp. George the first would beat my 1752 British copper.Nt

Yes, first is George I Circa. 1719-1724. Looks like a halfpenny. Seems too large in diameter and thick to be a Farthing.

The Irish Halfpenny is 1760. (Only year for that bust)

Thanks for the good news on the George the first, the farthing has this bust on it, I think this is the penny,it is alittle larger than the half cent, but did they always mint the coins the same size, I tend to think so. I am happy with it. Nt

George I are a little smaller in diameter, especially the 1st (dump) issue. George II and III are usually pretty close but remember there is many many counterfeits which vary in size.

I have found acouple of the counterfeits over the years. The coins I have found do not have a date under the bottom of the coin like others, maybe they are the real deal?
