1724 King George I Halfpence

[hogge]

This coin was found by my sister Kim Galok, (The Vermonster), in her cornfield that abutts Route 7 in Bennington Vt. Was able to ID this as the last bust in the series between 1717 and 1724. The ribbon holding the hair was the clue, as it is the most open of all 3 busts. Will post better pics when the entire cleaning process is complete. It's a bummer how chemicals and manure breaks down copper over the course of time. I HATE THAT! Congrats Kimbers on a 286 year old copper!.................Hogge

I'm always surprised when I dig one of those because they're OLD and it doesn't happen often. I assume that's her oldest coin.

Yes....it is her oldest coin to date. Last year she did get a 1752 or "7" KGII. Everyone else in my detecting crew has found the oldies. I'm waiting for my turn. Maybe it will have Flowing Hair!!!!
