1808 Irish 30 Pence

AP552 · Mar 6, 2016

Found this today in the potatoe field, only 4 inches down. Rang up really low for what's supposed to be a silver coin. Rang up a 48-50 on my at pro. Need some help from the coin pros on tnet. Is this possibly a counterfeit? Either way I think it's pretty cool. Thanks for looking. HH

A very cool find!
Quite uncommon find I'd day, I found the ten pence from that series a couple of years ago, well done!

Thanks everyone! Prob one of my coolest finds so far. The crazy part is I found this in a area that I thought I really hammered last year. Hadn't been there in a while so I figured I'd try it out yesterday. It always amazes me what gets missed.
