Love the KGI's. They always seem to hold together better in the ground than other coppers. Good indicator of potential site age as well. Congrats!

Nice KG I Seems like 1723 was a popular year. I have found 3 with that date.

We call them 'dump' halfpennies due to their large flan. It's in much better than average condition - congrats

Cool I'll take it. Anything in the states from the 1700s is a homerun.

That's an awesome save Rebbel, definitely a home run, especially in that condition, congratulations on the save & HH

Amazing condition for a KGI. Any colonial copper in my area is a toss up. Could be nice could be terrible but rarely as much detail as yours!!! Congrats!
