Just a guess. Machin's Mills.

I agree with Deftone that it appears to be a Machins Mills copper halfpenny, but it's pretty banged up and pics don't always do justice. Take it to a professional coin dealer and see if he can add his opinion to it.

Agreed. Pretty sure it's not an regal issue British Halfpenny.

Machin's Mills Halfpenny for reference, though there are tons of difference varieties.

Would love to find a coin like that. Congrats. At least i found enough change for a tall beer and a black n mild last Saturday. Not skunked! HH

Can't say for sure what it is, but it is not a Machin's Mills halfpenny. The bust details are wrong.

Yeah, didn't think it looked like a KG of any kind - and it stumped some of my seasoned partners too. French?

Can it be safely cleaned a bit?

Not sure if this is an exact match, but the ID is the same. (British Counterfeit halfpenny)
