Found a new hunting spot! Dug this coin behind a "VFW" next to a creek.







I think this is my oldest coin!?
Can anyone tell if there is anything special about this coin?

No input? For some reason I can not post on "today's finds"

Looks like a King George I farthing.

Obverse reads: GEORGIVS REX
Reverse reads: BRITANNIA 1722

Unless it's a rare variety (which would be beyond me), I doubt it's worth too much. I have A 1718 and 1719 George I Half Penny and a 1720 George I Farthing - worth maybe $10-20 each.

Nonetheless, any coin coming out of the ground with a date that old would be special to me. Congrats.

Thanks kid!
I think it is more rare because it's the first one I've found!

That's a pretty nice coin! Value of that is $15 in VG condition and $180 in VF condition. Quite a big gap!

In the pictured condition, the coin is worth between $5-10, closer to $5.
