Last minute cartwheel

[Lord Verdigris]

It was getting dark so I went to a yard near my house. Managed to pull two flat buttons and a 1797 British cartwheel penny out. Man those suckers are big. Looks like someone tried to put two holes through it at one time. Thanks for looking! [emoji2]

Dagnabbitt, I've never found one of those! Cool find man and a rarer find on our side of the pond.

Thanks. I hope it cleans up a bit better but I don't expect much. Just glad can Id it at least! [emoji2]

Yeap, you can see why they were unpopular.

They tried to carry across the silver standard into copper. So at the time 1 ounce of copper was worth 1 penny & guess what; a 2 penny was 2 ounces. NOT PRACTICAL. But fair.
