I guess for me if its pre-1800 the ratio is only 10 copper to one silver unfortunately.
If it's pre 1800 I weep, 3 coppers and no silver.

If so, my next colonial coin is a silver, at least I hope (and kind of doubt).
Yeah I could likely do that, just would never be able to put them in order.
That would be pretty awesome. Feel free to post some of your best here if you would like, I am dying to see what you have found in order, I have always been impressed by your finds.
Ok, here goes. I'll throw 25 on which are a combination of my best and favorites. These are the easier ones to get at, but it looks like I could do a pretty solid list of 50... but we'll save that for next Winter! I'll throw on 5 at a time, and will take my time, as I have a full pot of coffee ready to go.
The first is the Portugal 5 Reis. I like this one for a variety of reasons.... it's old, nice condition with a great patina, and it's something different.
Next is a George II Halfpenny. The patina does it for me on this one.
A double struck George III Halfpenny. Pretty uncommon to find error coins.
1773 Counterfeit George III. I like my ctfts! (Boyish George family)
1787 CT copper. Can't remember the variety, but did ID it and was Very Scarce. This one I like for a different reason, and that was it was dug just an hour or so before my best button find in 2001. Was a great day!

You reported your half pennies as "large", is there any other kind ? lol
I guess I would have to say my coin ratio would be roughly the same as IPs, maybe a few more coppers than silvers, but that's ok!
Only 7 more coppers to go and you'll get your silver! [emoji2]
Iron patch that must have took some time and work to post. Those are some real killer finds. Someday I hope to hunt a "iron patch" with ya! [emoji2]
More time than I expected. But I had lots of coffee and did 5 at a time.
Anytime you want to dig some dirt head on over.
We will have to meet up one of these days for sure. I have some good researched permission sites that have never been touched all around the province that I never got to yet. With permissions to hunt. Lots of opportunity out there. Driving all around at work for lobsters has its perks for finding new locations! Haha
