Found this one today...I know it is a KG, but to my eyes it doesn't look like the usual GEORGIUS on the left of the bust.....any thoughts??
As you can see, not much left to the obverse unfortunately.

WOW, really. I thought for sure it was a KG....Thanks Don, once again!
 
That is a nice find!
 
Nice find, William 111 coppers usually turn up very worn in England also. :thumbsup:

No, actually found a 1650's French Liard back in November
 
NICE RARE COIN.CONGRATS. :thumbsup:
 
Great William 3rd. Perhaps a type 1 or two. The Georges are common enough on our side of the pond, but the earlier coppers are tough finds. Congrats!
 
That's a KG, but try to avoid crashing someone else's post. If you have questions, post it on your own in "What's it".
Bit harsh:icon_scratch: He is a new member after all.
 
Very nice old copper find, congratulations! :occasion14:
