Check out the patina on this King George III copper

[toasted]

4 more coppers from copper hill. Three were toasted but this one came out pretty nice I’d say. I gave it a solid 4 hours today and I dont think Ill be finding much more there but it certainly has been fun

Almost looks like a roman one....

You don’t find them that way very often. Nice deep relief and beautiful patina. Feels damn good when a copper comes out in amazing condition. Well done on that site

Its not nearly as nice. It was probably facing up in the ground

Toasted: That is lovely coin with beautiful patina. Can we see the reverse, or is it too crunchy? Congrats!

I rarely find coppers that well preserved
The soil here is so acidic !
That’s a good looking kg. Hh gl

I'm thinking Counterfeit but a really nice example!

Yeah, I think most KG IIIs found in the States are counterfeit and I dont find many KG IIIs but this one is nicer looking than even all the KG IIs Ive found over the years. The back is completely toasted though oddly enough

Thanks, My soil is pretty bad too and the fertilizer in the fields makes them even worse so I dont usually get excited for colonial coppers anymore but this one gave me reason to celebrate

What a treat. Unfortunately that one is the exception instead of the norm since we dig so many crusty coppers.

Really nice find! Congrats! Beware on that patina! I recently found a CT copper and I noticed a small spec of corrosion and I tried to chip it off and it was like unraveling a sweater. I decided to scrape the rest of it off because it just made it look like a mess. It ended up still looking great under the patina... but it would have looked better if it retained it. I like to think it was out of my control.
