Another George II

[barry61]

Went back to the corn field today. Some spots are still frozen but
it is much better. Back was bothering me a bit so I kept it short,
though I did manage one more King George II. This one has more
detail, but having a hard time getting the date.I will work on it more
tomorrow. Had a pretty good weekend,3 George II, 3 large cents,
some musketballs and flat buttons,also a civil war era token.
I will make it back there sometime this week. Best part is this
field is only 5 minutes from home.
HH and good luck to all.
Barry.

I believe the date is 1729.. I'm fairy sure it's 172.. One line they say they only made one year in the 1720's for KG II that would be 1729... Hope this helps out.

Thanks creeper, I am going to try to clean it up a little more tomorrow.

Did you get a positive date of this coin yet??

Hey creeper, cleaned this as best I could and ,no, cannot see date for sure.
thanks,
Barry

Can you take another pic of the "cleaned" coin? thanks

It's a counterfeit where the arm of Britannia is particularly curved--like a monkey/ape arm is the idea, I guess. I don't know enough to describe much more but w/ a quick google, here's an image of a simian farthing: http://www.geocities.com/copperclem/F7305CVS.jpg
