Beautiful King George III Halfpenny, Beautiful 1853 Dime, LC, and 1863 Token

[Kyle PA]

Kirk, Chris, and I got out to a new farm last Sunday. It was very windy, so we didn't stay any longer than two hours.

Right on the fringe of the field that we had permission for, I got a nice dime reading. It turned out to be the 1775 King George III halfpenny. I yelled for the fellas to come over. I later found the 1863 store token and 1853 Seated Liberty dime in the immediate vicinity. Kirk got his 1832 Capped Bust half dime in this iron patch as well. We believe the early site sat in the next field over. Unfortunately, we don't have permission for that yet. We will seek it in Spring.

The cut Braided Hair large cent was found at another home site on the farm. The site was producing some tombac buttons and pewter spoon pieces, so we'll give that one another shot as well in Spring.

We also are going to be exploring some other promising fields on this parcel. I think at least one more will be producing some early keepers!

WOW that KG is great, I love finding those things but mine are never that clean, I too would rather find colonial coinage all day long. Great way to end the season, hope you get permission for that other field in the spring looking forward to see what you guys get out of there. Come on Spring!!! Dean

Nice strong strike on the obverse of the KG Kyle. The Civil War era store card is a great find and the seated dime is sweet too. Sounds like a lot of potential in that neighborhood.

You guys always do well - congrats!

But that LC sure has an odd cut to it.

Great finds as always. I always enjoy PA posts. I know how much work it is to find quality sites. Me and my buddy do countless hours of research. Sometimes it pans out sometimes it doesn't. You guys did very well at this site. Thanks for posting.

Awesome day Kyle. I love how you left some of the colonial dirt to highlight the words on the KG III. I think it looks better that way.
