Wait until you get an 1797 Twopence instead of this Penny, twice the weight at 2oz!

PS. It is a very good dug example for a chartwheel.

The bad news is that is VERY unlikely to happen. The good news is a George Washington button is way more likely. :) (True)

Funny thing is, it's not that likely over here either. As you may remember Cru'dad got our first last year (As far as we can remember) on the same day he got the matching Penny!

Yeah they don't turn up often. I dug one here, as did Romeo... know of no others from anyone I am familiar with... and that's a lot of guys over a lot of combined years.
