1863 British one penny

[prolab69]

Found this today hunting some cellar holes. Had no idea what it was until i hit google search. A peroxide bath helped in finding the date, It`s actually not too crusted, just mostly worn. It`s not worth much, but it was fun to dig.

True, worth next to nothing, but an early coin for you.

Not worth much monetarily, but the history that you are holding in your hands, priceless!

Cheers

I have several hundred large pennies. Most are Queen Victoria. Nearly all were found in CWR halves over a one year period. Go figure.
