1788 KG III (Machin's Mills)
I was wondering if anyone here can help me out with this (obviously) dug coin. I looked online, but other than ones struck at Machin's Mills, I can't find any other examples of a 1788 KG. Is it more likely just a run-of-the-mill counterfeit? I'm hoping that someone with a lot more knowledge in identifying old coppers can tell me what's what. Also, how common is it to be digging up post-revolution british coinage anyway?
Thanks!
