Woods Hibernia I think but hard to tell from the picture.

Looked at those..I thinknya maybe right ...

Looks like a King George II copper half penny. I have one of the same coins. Mine wasn't dug though. At least, not by me.

 

[Jose The Goon]

I agree.

Roman Silver Denarius. Looks to be Tiberius Tribute Penny type.

It might not be this one, but looks to be a 1st C AD Roman Silver that needs cleaning. Lemon juice at 5 mins a time should help.

What...in connecticut??

I agree with CRUSADER, unusual to find Roman coins in the US but not unheard of.

Yes, many have found & posted Roman Coins from Canada & the US.

 

[scruggs]

Cool find!

The WH's are smaller than most Colonial British halfpennies. When I found mine I thought it was a farthing.

 

[Gene Mean]

Try the lemon juice as Cru said. Nice find!

My buddy who actually dug this is scared to touch it..lolol.. I told him if it's copper, its a worthless crumbly piece of copper, and if it's ruined big deal .. but to be gentle and find out it is silver it's a cool find ..so i guess he will just have a "thing" in his possession , that he will never even know what it is..🤷 and treat it with kids gloves ..
Lolol

I think some may be looking at the second coin instead of the first. The first is certainly not a Wood's Hibernia or a British George II.

Its a 1734 British 1/2 Penny...

The second coin is a 1734 George II halfpenny, but that is not the coin in question, the first one is. The first one is the Roman coin.
