Copper #23 for the year. Could use some help ID'ing a coin.

Went out with JW15 for a while yesterday and managed to squeak a broken George out of an old field. Not sure what George it is. I'm terrible at ID'ing them. It rang up very low, in my button range. Also found a button. It's hard to make out but there's a flower pattern on it (I think)

Is there a site that has examples of all the George coins? None of my books have them.

Nice copper. Glad you got a quick ID

As I suspected, although I did say around the 1740's.

Don't really keep a good log of sites I visit, unfortunately... In general, when I'm looking for an i.d., i'll just type in what I think it may be on Google and click the images button.. then modify the search until I find what I'm looking for

GEORGIUS 1740-1745

GEORGIVS 1746-1754

PS... A broken George II is a good indicator it could be a cast counterfeit. They snap much easier than quality copper.

Thank you! I believe it is counterfeit, it came up very funky on the E-trac.

Wouldn't be a surprise, but not being round, and if at an angle in the ground it could have that effect, not a sound you would expect. Regardless, it's looked at as being a George II Halfpenny and whether counterfeit or not really doesn't matter on that particular one.

Nice Dave. Was this using the WOT coil?

Yup. I've been using the WoT exclusively. It's a monster. Can't wait to get the "Joey" for the fall!
