Was pleasantly surprised to find this British half penny on vacation to east NC. I was thoroughly in awe at its presence. Found on family farm field also found some native artifacts I've posted. Anyway what a great vacation!! 20190913_005211.jpg 20190913_005133.jpg

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! :occasion14:

Nice KG I :thumbsup: 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.

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!
