Definitely a King George copper (coin) - sorry, no help with the date but I'm sure one of the other guys will chime in on this one in a little bit. Cool find regardless...

They are both King George III halfpennies. Iron Patch is correct. Nice finds.

Re: Coin and Token? ID?
Because they are counterfeits, and hence under-weight.

Why the difference?

Yes, this is a 1700's counterfeit--not a modern copy...still a 200+ year old find.
