Found this slick copper and i'm trying to make out anything to ID it, i think i was able to see a left facing bust on the one side which i outlined, other side has a carved X in it dividing it into quarters Location :Canada

Not much to go on, bust looking left.... maybe KG2 half penny?

Have a Google and measure the diameter to see if it's close.

Aren’t those slick old coppers frustrating? And when you look hard enough, you start to think you see all kinds of detail then a minute later you see something different.
Nice find in any event.

I have to agree with Steve, due to the lack of an edge and the heavy wear, I'm thinking it's a KG II Halfpenny (1727-1760) as well. :thumbsup:

That's a nice find for your part of our province.
