By George I think I did it!

Well field after field of no coppers I do think I finally found one! Found this coin with a very large hole in the center and nothing but can slaw after that. I though it was unreadle at first but I think I see a woman with a shield and possible 17?7 as a date but my eyes play tricks. The front is definitely a bust facing right with a pointier nose. I hope these pics turn out ok just got a new camera. Any help would be appreciated. Someone was mad at the king im guessing because it was holed angrilly =) and beaten once or twice with something heavy. Thanks again ~Jim

Well its an old contemporary copper, counterfeit halfpenny by the looks of it.

WOW....Too bad there wasn't just a little more detail. Almost looks like a Nova Eborac, but judging by the condition of the planchet, I would have to say CFT. JMO. Others will pipe in soon. NICE FIND Hogge

Thanks guys I was thinking counterfeit too. So what kinda age are we talking here. I can really only see 1??8. Hopefully I can get an ID . Think its gonna be my oldest to date, counterfeit or not! Thanks

I have the 1700s book of world coins. I am trying to find it for you but I am unclear of some of the detail. Is that the head at the 12 o'clock position? Is she sitting? Head looking left or right? Maybe we can figure this out.

 

[SouthJerseyJim]

Yes the most detail is the first shot. Head at the top facing left with a wheel or something round below and right and date on bottom. The plain looking side you can see a bust facing right, pointed nose and nothing much else. Thanks again.
