1/4 of a halfpenny interests me. No cutting of copper coinage occurred in the UK at this time, but seems to have been common in the US.
1/2 of a halfpenny is a farthing - farthing being the lowest demonination of coinage at the time. 1/4 of a halfpenny is nothing. So proving the the Colonials had differing values on coinage. ie. a value under our lowest value coinage of that period. Although in the later Victorian period we did produce some half-farthings which were for British Colonial use.
So your coin, in British terms is effectively a Half-Farthing!

Yeah cru, that thing is nuts heh? When I found it, me and my buddy were like 'wait a second, that's an 1/8th of a cent!!' that was the first colonial copper we found on that site.. Since we've gotten a 1734 & a 175? KGII.. Also three of those cut silvers in my pics and two whole 1/2 reales (1777,1780).. The colonial stuff always has interested me.. Jeff

You have some great colonial sites going there, the cut silvers are beautiful. And i've never seen a cut copper found around where I live, I wonder what they would have purchased with them?. I hope the weather holds out for you so you can keep swinging the coil!.

Thanks, just picked up another site about 2 miles down the road that I think will give up a lot of the same stuff.. I'll be out there Sunday all day, just a soybean field with two humps.. Lots of pottery and broken glass
