The colonial dude that dropped it would probably state that he'd be proud of the master coin hunting future dude that found it!

George Washington would probably be amused too!

Here's a virtual happy congratulatory type hand shake! Looks like the coin made the banner already!

Great job! Dude!

WTG!!! Nice coin Dude! I would send in off to be graded. If not for the value, but the protection of this find. It will come back with a net grade because it is a dug coin, however it is a very, very, very nice find!

Very nice find. Congrtulations on you find and having it posted in front row ( Thumb Nail Gallery) aka " RECENT TREASURES FOUND BY OUR MEMBERS"

One of my hopes is to find something that is deemed worthy enough to be put in the front row. ;D ;D :D :D :o :o

Until, then, HH.

Re: Rare George Washington Halfpenny

Nice Digs!!

man.. your postings crack me up... it's like.. "Bills and Ted's Excellent Metal Detecting" That was a good idea with the gift certificate... the best I ever did.. was stop to ask permission and ended up helping the land owners herd in a couple hundred head that were in the wrong field. The guy was really.. angry.. seems one of his helpers had left the wrong gate open the night before and the herd went into a field full of crops. After we got them in, he was still pretty mad.. so I was just going to leave and come back.. when he said.. "..and what did you need feller?" Turned out to be one of the best places I ever dug.. and he and his wife never gave anyone else permission but me!! I actually had another guy, after trying to get permission, stop along the road and yell at me!! He was pis.. er.. angry.. that that would not give him permission when I was out digging! It's all about the karma...
