Good evening, friends. Found this coin today. We can't make out the date on this one, but we *think* we see the word "liberty" on the right. Just not sure. Any ideas? Had lovely weather here today--hope you did, too! Thanks for looking. -Lisa & John

So...they were able to counterfeit things back in the 18th century.
Not only were they able to, it was very prolific. To give you an idea roughly, more than half of Geo III coppers in the new world are counterfeits.
