kac Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Gave the Apex a quick run at the river banks for less than an hour and found this in some rocks. It isn't a large cent, too small and head seems to be facing left instead of right. 25mm diameter exactly. Coin is thin too but no signs of ever having a rim. Stumped on this one.

F350Platinum Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 American clad quarter is about the only US coin about that size in mm, 24.26. Could be a British half cent. They were around 25mm. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfpenny_(British_pre-decimal_coin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Not a half penny, think I already found one and have it put away. This is much thinner so after talkig to dogodog I think he is right and it's an early kg 1740's or there abouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolofhardNox Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Would be a farthing I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Againstmywill Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Reminds me of the one I found back in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I am looking at my 1 farthing and it appears to look very similar to it in size and the way the head faces to the right. Mine has a distinct rim and is from 1799, so I would say it will be of British origin. Great find and keep up the good luck on your finds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
