🥇 BANNER Super Sweet 1739 George ll Out Of The Sugar Sand, Wow!!!

[artyfacts]

Went back to the fields with my Whites MXT while my DFX is being repaired. Forgot just how sensitive the MXT is when its cranked all the way up. Walking along the edges of the fields a weak high-low broken signal. I took an 8 inch divet out and scanned the hole, a loud high signal, it was still in the hole. I thought soda can slaw. Another 8 inches it was out of the hole. I used my pin pointer to knock away the dirt and I couldn't believe my eyes, lettering as clear as day, picture time. I pulled it from the pile and immediately started talking to myself, I think I was answering myself to. What a Georgie... The big decorative blowhole button is the largest and only decorative one I have found to date. arty

I find maybe 2 a hunt average, but most are blanks & only 1 in 200 are as nice as this in my soil, so even I would be pleased to dig up that one!!! Good collection piece

Thats OK, the more I think, it maybe 1 in 300. Which in relative terms you have to times by 100, as I'm closer to where they were minted CONGRATS again

Art that is a thing of beauty. Don't think I have ever seen a KG in that good of shape dug! It would make a beautiful banner.

Thanks Jim, I cant wait for you to see this one in person. The detail is truly amazing, way better when looking at it in person. Art

What a spectacular KG II. So that's what they looked like fresh from the mint - LOL

The blow hole is an oddity, I have never seen a blow hole button with a design.

You should be able to Edit Post. It's in the bottom right hand corner of the post you'd like to correct. Let me know if you need more assistance.

Congratulations on your BANNER find, a truly once in a life time find and so well preserved.

 

[Iron Patch]

Seeing that condition is sweet, but it sure would have been the time to hit a super rarity. But it doesn't seem to work that way.

I don't recall ever seeing a British Regal (or close) George copper on the banner.

 

[Mud]

congrats ! sweet find

 

[veronasteve]

I got a 1738 one of these the other day,but not quite as good a condition as yours..but there was a George 2nd silvered button ,,i think of 1812.

 

[artyfacts]

Thank you all for the wonderful comments and my first Banner, I'm very excited. To see this KG come out of the ground in its condition was a very neat experience. Now all I have to do is learn to put it down, its hard sleeping with it in my hand. Arty
