King George II: Is he young or old?

[lenmac65]

Young or old, I am just thrilled to have dug an old copper with some detaill on it. I do think it is the young head though based on the larger leaf/hair cropping over the forehead and the closer proximity of Britannia’s head to the coin edge. That would mean this coin was from about 1729-1739. What do you think? Rough shape, but I like it. Happy Hunting!
