Found this today in the park.

I have to look at some of my books, but from first glance it looks like a Charles II Halfpenny, might be wrong on that, but the Obverse looks like that in my opinion. Believe they are 1670's.

yeap 1670s :icon_thumright: Farthing probably but no scale to tell

 

[Gabba360]

Better pics to show scale added. The wording and pic look like the one on the link from ss. Is that what it is?

It appears it could be a Machin Mills Halfpenny. I can barely make out REX on the obverse and part of NIA on the reverse. I wish there was a date, but I don't think it can be any older than 1747.

CoinHELP, there is no doubt that the coin is a 1670's Charles II farthing, the CAR and other letters are easily seen on the Obverse side.

1747 Machins Mills

I might be wrong, but it's a possiblity considering the condition of the coin. The supposed lettering appears to be too far away from the rim, and might be the result of the corrossion, and not the actual lettering at all. I have examined coins where the corrosion creates "false" letters and numbers. I'm just not 100% on this one. It's like finding Waldo to me. lol

The Machin Mills Coinage borrowed heavily from the Farthing designs. It's a neat find anyway.

Definately a 1670s Farthing. I find them in this condition all the time & far worst condition, easy to tell in the hand.
