Posting for a friend who found these yesterday and today.

What is the foreign coin
Is the Busted Cent rare and of value.
These coins were NOT clean . They came out as you see them .
I have found coins at this site that are equal in looks.

It's a British King George II Halfpenny Circa. 1729-1739 and most likely a cast contemporary counterfeit.

IP why do you think that.

That is a new record ,for fastest ID Thanks

IP why do you think that.

Not perfectly round and more a blurred look than wear. It was also a common era for cast Halfpennies. By the time George III became king almost all counterfeits were being struck. Struck worn coins can fool you into thinking cast, and that is possible here, but anyone who knows these would likely think cast counterfeit.

You have some great condition at that site. Any reason why you think it's so good there?
