I was told it was a Georgivs 11 rex coin. I have a photo of before and after electrosis treatment. I can almost pick up the year I believe it is 175? The klast two pictures are a 1773 Georgivs 111 rex coin found approx 4 ft from the other coin. What do you think of the coin and what do you think of the treament ? Thanks for your input, Grizzy from PA

The first is a King George II half penny
The second is a King George III half penny
Although they may be farthings depending on the size. Could'n't tell how big they are.

Garabaldi, sorry I should have had something in the photo fro a size comparison, but they are both the exact same size. They are the size of a modern fifty cent piece. Thank you brother its just strange to me to find so old British coins around here, but that whats so cool with this hobby.
